Strategies

Earnings And Expectations
ConAgra reported fourth quarter operating EPS of $0.52 versus Deutsche Bank's $0.53 estimate and $0.52 consensus. Sales came in at $2.83 billion versus Deutsche Bank's $2.96 billion estimate.
The company did not provide F2017 guidance in light of the pending split of ConAgra Foods into ConAgra Brands and Lamb Weston, which is expected this fall. "However, CFO Gehring indicated the first quarter is expected to up mid-teens to high-teens off of a prior year base of $0.41," which implies first quarter EPS of $0.47–$0.49 and compares to Deutsche Bank's updated EPS estimate of $0.47 (down from prior $0.50).
The analyst raised fiscal 2017 EPS estimate to $2.39 from $2.35, while trimming revenue view to $11.689 billion from $11.837 billion.
"Meanwhile there are many outstanding LT questions around goals and capital structure following the planned Lamb Weston spin. As such, we believe current valuation (22x P/E) appropriately reflects short and long-term challenges vs. opportunity," Contreras said.
Contreras maintains a Hold rating on ConAgra Foods, with a price target of $48.
Shares of ConAgra Foods closed Friday's regular trading session at $48.39.
