Base and Bull scenarios

Bull20%

Price target

$41.52

+182.3% from spot

In the Bull scenario, category demand across Refrigerated & Frozen and Grocery & Snacks rebounds as consumer purchasing power recovers. Conagra gains market share in frozen vegetables, breakfast, and meat snacks. Pricing power remains intact while packaging and ingredient deflation expands gross margins. Elevated free cash flow enables management to rapidly retire senior debt, reducing interest expense and triggering a comprehensive equity multiple re-rating.

Organic net sales growth inflects positively driven by frozen single-serve and premium snacks innovation
Adjusted operating margin expands through supply chain automation and procurement efficiencies
Free cash flow generation accelerates substantially, driving rapid net leverage reduction
Valuation multiple re-rates upward toward peer parity, driving valuation toward $41.52

Base55%

Price target

$26.66

+81.2% from spot

In the Base scenario, Conagra executes on its operational turnaround by balancing selective trade promotion with continuous productivity savings. Frozen food volumes stabilize near flat, while meat snacks and popcorn offset center-store grocery softness. Operating cash flow remains strong, fully funding regular dividend distributions and disciplined debt paydown to reduce net leverage steadily.

Organic net sales stabilize near flat as retail volume recovers in FY2028
Adjusted operating margin normalizes toward historical levels, consistent with FY2028 forecasts
Annual free cash flow remains resilient with solid cash conversion
Exit valuation multiple holds steady, supporting Fair value of $26.66

Sensitivity: Ke × terminal growth
