CAG Stock Recent News

While reaching retirement age can be both a blessing and a curse, relying on the U.S. government to provide for your needs is not the best idea. The full retirement age is 66 if you were born from 1943 to 1954. The full retirement age increases gradually for those born from 1955 to 1960, reaching 67. For anyone born in 1960 or later, full retirement benefits are payable at age 67. While the December 2024 interest rate cut of 25 basis points may be the last until the fall, it is an excellent bet that the federal funds rate will be lower than today’s effective rate of 4.23%, which is already below the long-term average of 4.61%. Therefore, high-quality, high-yield dividend stocks are expected to remain in strong demand. 24/7 Wall St. Key Points: Baby boomers may get a nice tax break on their Social Security income.

CHICAGO , June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CAG) announced that it has completed the divestiture of the Chef Boyardee® brand to Hometown Food Company, a Brynwood Partners portfolio company. The transaction includes the manufacturing facility in Milton, Pa.

Dividend stocks are a favorite among investors for good reason. They provide a steady stream of passive income and offer a promising avenue for total return.

Conagra Brands is a defensive, high-quality packaged foods company with strong brands and a leading US frozen meals market share. Despite recent profit drops and supply chain issues, free cash flow remains robust, and the dividend yield is attractive at over 6%. The valuation is compelling, but I see risks from tariffs, debt, and potential dividend cuts, although it's not far from my buying target.

Long-term bond yields continue to rise. But investors looking for income can still find plenty of attractive opportunities with dividend-paying stocks that have healthy yields. “23 stocks pay huge dividends. They should be a better bet than treasuries.” —Barron's Weekly. Interviewed by Barron's, Steven Wieting, strategist at Citi-Wealth, noted that growing dividends are tangible benefits for shareholders and hallmarks of companies with strong balance sheets. “Nobody can fake a dividend,” he said.

Conagra trades below peers, with value appeal and long-term growth drivers in snacking and innovation, though near-term headwinds persist.

With recent volatility, we have a new name to make the discussion this month, as well as a few names we don't see as often. This monthly screening focuses on dividend safety, growth, and consistency, narrowing down the universe of potentially attractive investments. This is only an initial screening to gather some potential ideas, and before making any investment decision, a deeper dive is required.
