Conagra Brands sells a portfolio of branded foods, with management's identified growth areas focused on frozen foods and mindful snacking. The portfolio includes meat snacks, seeds, popcorn, and certain sweet snacks, while the company has approximately 5,500 stock-keeping units. Revenue generation depends on selling these products to customers, with greater investment directed toward brands that management believes are capable of delivering profitable growth.
In Q4 fiscal 2026, revenue was $2.9 billion and gross profit was $704.1 million, equivalent to a calculated gross margin of approximately 24.3%, while the company recorded a net loss of $1.6 billion. This compares with revenue of $2.8 billion, gross profit of $657.7 million, and net income of $199.8 million in Q3 fiscal 2026, highlighting the severity of the deterioration in the net result during the latest quarter.
For fiscal 2026, Conagra generated revenue of $11.3 billion and gross profit of $2.7 billion, equivalent to a calculated gross margin of approximately 23.9%, but recorded a net loss of $1.9 billion and a loss per share of $4.

The analyst consensus on CAG stock is Neutral, with an average price target of $14.1 and a range between $12 and $16; the average falls within the 52-week range of $12.53–$20.32 and is approximately 31% below its high. No usable price-to-earnings ratio is available in the data because of the fiscal 2026 net loss of $1.9 billion and loss per share of $4, so valuation improvement is linked more to demonstrating margin and volume stability and reducing leverage than to current positive earnings.

Conagra recorded a net loss of $1.9 billion in fiscal 2026 despite generating revenue of $11.3 billion and gross profit of $2.7 billion. In Q4 fiscal 2026 alone, the net loss was $1.6 billion on revenue of $2.9 billion. The data does not specify a detailed reason for this loss, so it cannot be attributed to any particular accounting or operating item.
The company is increasing brand-building spending by $40 million, or 14%, and raising capital expenditures by $125 million. It is also targeting productivity exceeding 4% and intends to implement price increases beginning in the middle of Q2 fiscal 2027 to address expected inflation of 5%. The plan directs more resources toward frozen foods, meat snacks, seeds, popcorn, and certain sweet snacks.
The company announced a 50% dividend cut in August 2026, reducing the direct cash income received by shareholders. Management expects this decision to free up approximately $1 billion in additional cash flow over about three years. The company plans to use a large portion of the liquidity to reduce debt while funding increased investment in brands and the supply chain.
Fiscal 2027 guidance assumes organic volumes will decline by a mid-single-digit percentage, with weakness concentrated in frozen foods. At the midpoint of guidance, organic net sales are expected to decline by approximately 2% versus an approximate positive impact of 3% from price and mix. However, management assumes higher demand elasticity than historical levels in frozen foods, so consumer response to the price increases planned for the middle of Q2 fiscal 2027 will be a decisive factor.
The company's long-term net leverage target is 3.0 times, but management expects it to reach 4.0 times in fiscal 2027. The dividend cut contributes approximately $1 billion over about three years, with a large portion of this liquidity directed toward debt repayment. The company achieved free cash flow conversion of 119% in fiscal 2026, the third consecutive year above 115%, but it was still evaluating options in July 2026 to refinance October maturities.
The analyst consensus on CAG is Neutral, and the average price target is $14.1. The target range is between $12 and $16, compared with a 52-week range of $12.53 to $20.32. No meaningful price-to-earnings ratio is available in the data because Conagra recorded a loss per share of $4 in fiscal 2026, making the recovery of earnings and margins a central factor for rerating.
