Why did Conagra cut its dividend in half, and what is the new annualized rate?

Conagra halved its dividend as part of a strategic reset under new CEO John Brase to realign capital allocation, accelerate progress toward its leverage target, support critical investments, and strengthen financial flexibility—including the ability to shape its portfolio over time; the dividend was reduced from $1.40 to an annualized rate of $0.70 per share.

What are Conagra's fiscal 2027 profit and organic net sales forecasts, and how do they compare to analyst expectations?

Conagra forecasts fiscal 2027 adjusted profit of $1.40 to $1.50 per share—below the analysts' average estimate of $1.59 per share—and expects an annual organic net sales decline of 1% to 3%, widening from a 0.4% decline in fiscal 2026, citing persistent inflation and consumer trading down to cheaper private-label alternatives.
