Struggling investment group JAB Holdings booked a $6bn gain in 2025 from the disposal of its stake in coffee giant JDE Peet’s, offsetting steep losses elsewhere in its troubled food and drinks portfolio.
The proceeds from the sale of its stake in JDE Peet’s outweighed sharp declines in the value of its investments in struggling beauty group Coty and doughnut maker Krispy Kreme, whose share prices fell 45 and 35 per cent respectively in 2025.
JAB, which manages the wealth of the secretive billionaire Reimann family, has overhauled its investment strategy to focus on insurance after shifting consumer tastes and inflationary pressure decimated its coffee and sandwich-heavy portfolio.
