# ConAgra Brands Inc. (CAG) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Defensive / Food & Staples Retailing. Price $15.48, market value $7.4 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). ConAgra Brands Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.7×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.2×**. The shares trade at 1.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 13.2%** (5-yr avg 10.3%). Free cash flow equals 13.2% of the market value, above its five-year average of 10.3%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 23.9%**. ConAgra Brands Inc. keeps 23.9% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: -14.4%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -17.0%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -30.1%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -9.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -9.6%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -11.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces -11.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -2.9%** (3-yr -2.8%/yr, 5-yr 0.2%/yr). Revenue fell 2.9% over the last year, against 0.2% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -266.7%**. Earnings per share fell 266.7%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 15.6%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 15.6% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.14**. Debt is 1.14 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. ConAgra Brands Inc. holds more cash than debt.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.26**. A Z-score of 1.26 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 7.91%** ($1.40 per share, trailing). ConAgra Brands Inc. yields 7.91%, high enough to check carefully: yields this high often precede a cut.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 18**. 18 straight years of increases, a record that survived at least one recession.

- **From 52-week high: -23.8%** (23.5% above the low). Trading 24% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 48**. An RSI of 48 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): -0.21** (volatility 31%). Beta of -0.21 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
