barrons2	Cadbury (CBY) might be the call today. This candy maker's forecast about rising gross margins flies in the face of everyone from Hershey (HSY) to ConAgra (CAG), from Heinz (HNZ)to General Mills (GIS).	Love	May 15, 2008

barrons2	ConAgra's profits have been lifted by a commodity-trading and sales division that has done well lately. Analysts worry about a lack of transparency in that business, but a similar issue hasn't hurt Bunge (BG), a hot agricultural play. Bulls say the stock could hit the high-20s by year-end.

sarah z	ConAgra is in this week's portfolio. North America's leading packaged food supplier recently added $500 million to its buyback plan. They plan to repurchase the shares periodically, depending on market conditions. In another move to return capital to shareholders, the company bumped its quarterly dividend to 19 cents a share from 18 cents a share. The new rate will start with the Dec. 3, 2007 dividend payment, which will be made to shareholders of record as of Nov. 2, 2007. The Omaha, Neb.-based company recently announced solid first quarter earnings. ConAgra reported earnings of 34 cents a share, up from 26 cents a share last year, which were well ahead of the street's estimate of 29 cents. Popular brands such as Chef Boyardee and Healthy Choice helped drive sales up 10% at $2.95 billion. The company's Trading and Merchandising segment also deserves credit, as it enjoyed a 60% jump in sales. CAG maintains full year 2008 estimates in the range of $1.48, and $1.65 for full year 2009. ConAgra's CEO, Gary Rodkin, said, "Today's board actions demonstrate continued confidence in the company's overall outlook and ability to generate strong amounts of free cash in the future. As always, we remain committed to returning capital to shareholders in a way that appropriately balances a healthy dividend, share repurchases and a strong balance sheet." With better-than-expected numbers, ValuEngine said it is upgrading ConAgra to buy from hold with a 6 month price target of $26.08. Based on CAG's attractive company size, risk, and volatility, ValuEngine believes the stock will outperform the market over the next year.	Love	October 10, 2007

sarah z	ConAgra Foods recently announced a $500 million dollar buyback. Last week, the leaders of ConAgra Foods Inc. reminded shareholders about last year's better-than-expected profits at the company's annual meeting Thursday and promised better things to come. The Omaha-based company also announced plans to increase its quarterly dividend from 18 cents to 19 cents per share in December and begin repurchasing $500 million of company stock. The stock trades for 8.5x cash flow.	Love	October 03, 2007
Guest	Ad Age Magazine echoed these thoughts (that food stocks will outperform the market and put investors into the black) in a recent piece, according to Cramer, who said he appreciated like-minded companies such as General Mills (GIS), PepsiCo (PEP) and ConAgra Foods (CAG).	Love	August 14, 2007

Lusty Leader	ConAgra is a major player in farm products. We will all need farm products to produce our meat and grain. Also, has high yield dividend.	Love	May 31, 2007
DanDaMan1200	Conagra- Beautiful, they make everything,, peter pan peanut butter, hunts tomatoe sauce, CONSISTENTLY beating estimates for the past year each time by 10% + great financials, it really is best of breed, in a broad market, and its a cheap stock buy this puppy up to $35 a share. Did I forget to mention 67% of the company is held by institutions? Sales are also almost market cap, which to me , is an undervalued statistic.	Love	May 16, 2007

traderjim	Another food stock that I am familiar with. I worked for CAG and managed several of their brands in the 90's. They are repositioning themselves as a true food company and divested all, if not most meat operations. I would not be suprised to see them buy/merge/or be bought by Kraft. The stock will rocket this year.	Love	March 09, 2007

Greg NTG1 Parker	Not hate, but no where close to "love". Slow and steady does indeed win the race; however, CAG is richly valued at twice the PE of the S&P. When the market has a 30% selloff, remember CAG. Worth considering at $19 per share.	Hate	February 19, 2007
