What are Wall Street analysts saying about Conagra Brands stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Conagra Brands stock:
- 1. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "CAG’s 3Q EBIT was slightly below consensus & 2018 EBIT guidance was unchanged. Results/guidance is much better than feared especially considering the significant guide down by GIS yesterday. Sales were generally in-line despite greater than expected retailer inventory reductions, which is encouraging. Gross margins were lower than expected driven by higher input costs and growth-related investments both of which we view as transitory. FY18 EPS guidance raised and implies 4Q sales and EBIT above consensus. EPS guidance was raised to a range of $2.03 to $2.05 from a range of $1.95 to $2.02. Sales and margin guidance is unchanged and previous guidance already included the benefit from tax reform. Interest expense is coming in well below initial guidance and points to strong cash flow generation. Relative to consensus, new guidance implies 4Q18 sales 4% above, EBIT 2% above and EPS 18% above." (3/22/2018)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Over the last six months, Conagra’s shares have outperformed the industry. Elevated sales of major branded products like Healthy Choice and inorganic growth initiatives are expected to strengthen the company’s near-term revenues and profitability. Moreover, ongoing portfolio restructuring moves are also expected to boost up near-term results. Over the last 30 days, Zacks Consensus Estimate for the stock moved north for both fiscal 2018 and 2019. However, continued inflation in the prices of some major inputs might continue to hurt Conagra’s margins in the quarters ahead. Moreover, increased consumer warehousing and pantry stocking activities might depress sales of the company’s grocery and snaking businesses. Other headwinds like outbreak of natural calamity or stiff industry rivalry also remain major causes of concern." (2/27/2018)
