ConAgra Foods (CAG-N) is receiving mixed reviews from experts ahead of its upcoming earnings report. The company recently reported disappointing results, missing both top and bottom line expectations, which led to an 8% decline in its stock price. Although the company has a robust dividend yield of over 5%, some analysts view this as a warning sign. However, there is potential for a contrarian investment, as the stock is significantly down from its highs. With a reasonable valuation and an expected earnings growth of 5-7% in 2025, some experts suggest that it could be a steady earner for investors looking to collect dividends and experience moderate capital appreciation.

DON'T BUY

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

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

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.

TRADE

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

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.

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.
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
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.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly CAG is a $16 billion consumer packaged food company operating in the US. It’s a steady-Eddy performer that trades at 14x earnings compared to peers at 54x. It trades with a PEG ratio of 1.95 – showing modest growth opportunities and it is valued at 2x book. It pays a nice dividend, backed by a payout ratio of under 40% of cash flow. Sales surged during the pandemic, but have stabilized at levels higher than pre-pandemic times. We would buy this with a stop loss at $30, looking to achieve $42 – upside potential over 23%. Yield 3.24% (Analysts’ price target is $39.18)
DON'T BUY

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.

PARTIAL BUY

Arguably one of the leaders in the tier 2 brands. Made a huge acquisition in 2012, which hasn’t worked out well. Have had several write-downs since then because of that, and have had to reduce prices to increase sales. As a result, margins have been hammered. Over the last year or so, the stock has done quite well because a private equity firm stepped in. The company has indicated 10% year-over-year EPS growth over the next 3 years. Not a bad time to start some buying, but be careful in the short term. The stock had a considerable run up, and on a valuation basis it is not cheap. As a buyer, take a half position and wait for a pullback.

PARTIAL SELL

Thinks they have done all the right things with the acquisitions they have been making and their focus. It is all ceramic strategic assets. Within the food business, there is a secular push towards people wanting to lead healthier lives. If you own, consider taking some profits.
