Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:CAG) will release its fourth quarter earnings report before the opening bell on Wednesday, July 15.
When I was a younger investor, I tended to buy stocks with dividend yields of 10% or more. Overall, thanks to diversification, I made out OK, but I was burned more than once by dividend cuts.
Conagra Brands' new CEO inherits slowing growth, heavy debt and the S&P 500's highest dividend yield, leaving investors increasingly focused on whether the payout will be cut.
Conagra is a consumer staples company, but that fact shouldn't lull dividend investors into a false sense of security.
Top Frozen Brands Lead the Way with Dozens of New Meals and Side Dishes CHICAGO, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CAG), one of North America's leading branded food companies, is introducing an extensive lineup of new food arriving on shelves this month. These introductions across the company's portfolio of frozen foods and grocery staples deliver on consumers desire for taste, convenience and value.
NEW YORK, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Dow Jones Indices will make the following changes to the S&P 500, S&P 100, S&P MidCap 400, and S&P SmallCap 600: Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASD: HONA) will be added to the S&P 500 & 100 on Monday, June 29. Honeywell Aerospace will replace Conagra Brands Inc. (NYSE: CAG) in the S&P 500, and Conagra Brands will replace Grid Dynamics Holdings Inc.(NASD: GDYN) in the S&P SmallCap 600 effective prior to the opening of trading on Tuesday, June 30.
Conagra Brands remains undervalued, trading at an 8x forward P/E, a 47% discount to peers. I maintain my bullish rating, viewing CAG as a defensive, dividend-paying stock despite recent price weakness and inconsistent earnings. Recent earnings disappointed with declines in both top and bottom lines, reflecting ongoing operational challenges.
Conagra Brands trades near its 52-week low with a compelling ~10.6% forward yield, reflecting deeply discounted valuation. Despite a weak EPS trajectory and rising leverage, operational recovery in the Frozen and Snacks segments is genuine, defending volume share at scale. Free cash flow remains sufficient to cover the dividend through FY2026, providing headroom despite current strain.
Conagra Brands (CAG) remains a strong sell as fundamentals deteriorate, with a 63% five-year stock-price decline and a 10% dividend yield signaling distress. CAG faces persistent sales declines, eroding free cash flow, and high net debt—now at 9x FCF—making its current dividend unsustainable. I expect a dividend cut is imminent, likely catalyzed by the new CEO and upcoming July 2026 earnings, as high debt maturities loom.
