UBS maintains Neutral on ConAgra stock amid cost pressures
UBS kept a Neutral rating on ConAgra (CAG) with a $14.00 price target, citing cost pressures and a volatile environment in the packaged food sector. The stock is down 9.7% year-to-date. UBS expects quarterly results to meet expectations but notes concerns about the fiscal 2027 outlook. ConAgra reported adjusted earnings of $0.47 per share on $2.9 billion revenue, slightly beating estimates, but warned of a challenging year ahead. Analysts have mixed views on the stock's valuation and outlook.
