ConAgra Foods, which reports its earnings on Wednesday, is facing significant skepticism from analysts regarding its financial health and dividend sustainability. With a notable dividend yield of 7.7%, experts are raising red flags about the sustainability of such a high payout, especially as the company is expected to experience declining earnings. Additionally, the overall growth prospects for ConAgra appear weak, leading to concerns that high dividends in this environment may be more of a burden than a benefit. Analysts are particularly worried about the company's margins and its ability to reassure investors during conference calls, suggesting that there's uncertainty about whether they can maintain their dividend commitments. Ultimately, the stock's recent performance has been on a downward trajectory, and only a strong earnings surprise could potentially reverse this trend.

COMMENT

They report Wednesday. Their 7.7% dividend is too high, suspicious. They make money with their solid brands, but the street is looking for down earnings. The only thing to reverse their brutal stock slide is an upside surprise.

DON'T BUY

It lacks growth, and dividends this high are suspect.

DON'T BUY

Margins aren't good among many problems. A company that has to answer on a conference call whether that they problem they can pay the dividend of not is not a buy.

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)
