Summary
Lotus Bakeries, makers of the wildly popular Biscoff cookie, have soared in value—up nearly 600% over ten years—while most food companies stumble. Their caramelized biscuits now rank among the top five best-selling cookies worldwide, fueled by viral trends like the “Japanese cheesecake” TikTok craze. Strategic moves, including a Thai factory and product diversification into spreads, ice cream, and chocolate, have driven consistent 17% annual sales growth. Shareholders have reaped rewards via decades of rising dividends and buybacks. But challenges loom: rising scrutiny of ultra-processed foods and the weight-loss drug boom could dampen demand. Lotus countered years ago by acquiring healthier brands like Bear and Nakd, now generating a quarter of their revenue. The big question? Can they sustain double-digit growth in a fiercely competitive global food market?
