Jim Cramer - Mad Money ConAgra Foods CAG-N DON'T BUY Sep 25, 2020

He bets their frozen food sales are strong because of stay-at-homers, but it yields only 2.4% and is cheaper than peer Pepsico. He's on the sidelines because it lacks longer-term consistency. They report Thursday.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 15/21, Down 3.2%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with CAG has triggered its stop at $33. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.
BUY
They report Thursday. They have a lot of good brands that are getting better. Pays a 3.5% yield. There remains a lot of snacking because people are still working from home.
DON'T BUY
It reports Thursday. The stock hasn't done anything in ages. The company needs to figure out how to grow its business.
BUY
Last week, they delivered a big top and bottom line beat, 8.6% organic growth (the street expected 6.3%) and strong guidance. Alot came from higher prices to offset lower volumes. They boast strong brands in the U.S. in packaged foods. Is recession proof.
BUY

They just posted mixed numbers in their last quarter with slightly lower organic growth, but margins were strong. Therefore, they beat earnings by 12 cents. Raised earnings forecast. Their price increases haven't hurt profits. Shares rallied today.

TRADE

Is hurt by this GOP thing, but is confident that they will have a decent quarter and it pays a 5% yield.

DON'T BUY

They reported a weak quarter with top and bottom line misses and sales won 4%, but the company warned earlier of a weak quarter and reaffirmed their full-year forecast. Shares sank 8% today.

BUY

A dividend pick for 2025. Is down a lot from their highs. A contrarian play. It pays around a 5% dividend yield. It trades at a reasonable valuation and offers decent earnings growth in 2025 of 5-7%. Collect the dividend and enjoy a little capital appreciation on top. You won't shoot the lights out, but you can relax with this steady earner.

DON'T BUY

It reports Thursday. Their last quarter was disappointment. The above 5% dividend yield is a warning.
