Conagra Brands

Conagra Brands is a US packaged-food company with a portfolio of familiar grocery and frozen-food labels, including Birds Eye, Marie Callender's, Slim Jim, Duncan Hines and Healthy Choice. It sells primarily through supermarkets and retailers, and its results hinge on managing input costs, volumes and pricing in a competitive, low-growth industry. Conagra offers one of the higher yields in the consumer staples space, but its dividend history is uneven, having been cut in the past before being rebuilt, and its score sits on the weaker side. Elevated debt and volume pressure temper the appeal, meaning the high yield comes with more risk than the sector norm. It suits income investors who accept that trade-off.
