What leverage would it take to beat buy & hold?

The question doesn't apply here. Buy-and-hold on Kraft Heinz (KHC) lost money across the out-of-sample window in 494 of 494 tests, so there is no positive benchmark to lever toward — clearing a negative bar is a much weaker claim than beating a real one, and we keep the two apart rather than counting it as a win. How we compute that

What this means

For Kraft Heinz (KHC), Morning Star on the weekly timeframe gave the best balance of return and risk in our test. It beat buy-and-hold — but remember: this is a hypothetical backtest of a standard rule, not a recommendation. Markets change. See the methodology and disclaimer.
