How has Packaged Foods moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 60% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 12% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 40 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
02 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks
Is Packaged Foods outperforming S&P 500?
Packaged Foods has underperformed S&P 500 by 20.3% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 6.6%. 8 of 28 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Utz Brands, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +37.4%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.
Bottom line
Packaged Foods has underperformed S&P 500 by 20.3% over 52 weeks and 6.6% over 13 weeks. 8 of 28 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 12 of 28 beat the sector itself. JBS N.V. leads with revenue of $88,267 million, based on 25 of 30 comparable companies through Mar 2026.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Seneca Foods Corporation has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 59.9% evidence confidence.
JBS N.V. looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
Mama's Creations, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Packaged Foods at +135.2%. Westrock Coffee Company leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +27.8%. 8 of 28 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.
Price and relative strength
Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Packaged Foods itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
JBS N.V. has the highest Revenue among the 30 Packaged Foods companies compared here, at $88,267 million. The Kraft Heinz Company is next at $24,990 million. Once Upon A Farm, PBC has the highest Revenue growth at 48.6%, so level and change sit with different companies. 25 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: JBS N.V. is the scale leader at $88,267 million, 253.2% ahead of The Kraft Heinz Company. Once Upon A Farm, PBC's growth is 48.6% from a $263 million base, with 9 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.
LeaderJBS N.V. · $88,267 million
Gap253.2% versus #2 · The Kraft Heinz Company
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage25/30 companies · 506 observations
Investor read: JBS N.V. is the scale benchmark; Once Upon A Farm, PBC is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: JBS N.V.'s growth falls below Once Upon A Farm, PBC's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

The same company also holds the highest Margin change, at +47.5 percentage points. 29 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: The J. M. Smucker Company leads both opm at 19.6% and margin change at +47.5 percentage points.
LeaderThe J. M. Smucker Company · 19.6%
Gap3.7% versus #2 · The Kraft Heinz Company
Persistence3/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage29/30 companies · 502 observations
Investor read: The J. M. Smucker Company sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.
Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

Seneca Foods Corporation has the highest Profit growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies.
What the numbers say: JBS N.V. leads with $1,915 million of TTM profit, 87.4% above Smithfield Foods, Inc.. Seneca Foods Corporation shows ≥100% on the scoring scale (173.8% uncapped) growth from a $115 million profit base.

LeaderJBS N.V. · $1,915 million
Gap87.4% versus #2 · Smithfield Foods, Inc.
Persistence4/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage25/30 companies · 510 observations
Investor read: JBS N.V. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.
Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Return On Capital Employed
Darling Ingredients Inc. has the highest ROCE among the 30 Packaged Foods companies compared here, at 12%. BellRing Brands, Inc. is next at 9.2%. Once Upon A Farm, PBC has the highest ROCE change at +24.5 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 30 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.
What the numbers say: Darling Ingredients Inc. leads ROCE at 12%, 2.8 percentage points above BellRing Brands, Inc.. Once Upon A Farm, PBC has the strongest latest improvement at +24.5 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

Investor read: Darling Ingredients Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
JBS N.V. has the lowest PEG among the 30 Packaged Foods companies compared here, at 0.16×. Central Garden & Pet Company is next at 0.25×. Herbalife Ltd. has the lowest P/E at 6.46×, so level and change sit with different companies. 15 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: JBS N.V. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.16×, 36% below Central Garden & Pet Company. Only 15 of 30 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

Coverage15/30 companies · 83 observations
Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.
PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

10 · before the conclusion, check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Packaged Foods comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 18 of the 30 companies report on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so their ranks are marked stale. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
- A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
- A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
- The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
- An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
- 18 companies have older fundamental reporting dates than the sector’s freshest reporters; their ranks carry a stale marker.

How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 30 Packaged Foods companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Sep 2026 and market data through 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Packaged Foods company comparison FAQs
These 22 answers restate the Packaged Foods comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 30 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Sep 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-08-04. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Is the Packaged Foods sector outperforming S&P 500?
Packaged Foods has underperformed S&P 500 by 20.3% over 52 weeks and 6.6% over 13 weeks. 8 of 28 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 12 of 28 beat the sector itself.
Which Packaged Foods company is largest by revenue?
JBS N.V. leads with revenue of $88,267 million, based on 25 of 30 comparable companies through Mar 2026.
Which Packaged Foods company is growing fastest?
Once Upon A Farm, PBC has the fastest current revenue growth at 48.6%, across 24 of 30 comparable companies.
Which Packaged Foods company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?
Seneca Foods Corporation ranks first at 65.4/100 with 59.9% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.
Which Packaged Foods company has the lowest comparable PEG?
JBS N.V. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.16, among 15 of 30 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.
How much history does this Packaged Foods comparison include?
The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Sep 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.
How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?
The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.
Which Packaged Foods company is the biggest?
JBS N.V. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $88,267 million, ahead of The Kraft Heinz Company at $24,990 million. That covers 25 of 30 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Packaged Foods company has the best profit margins?
The J. M. Smucker Company has the highest operating margin at 19.6%, from 29 of 30 comparable companies. The J. M. Smucker Company shows the biggest recent improvement, at +47.5 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Packaged Foods company makes the most profit?
JBS N.V. earns the most, at $1,915 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 25 of 30 comparable companies. Seneca Foods Corporation has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Packaged Foods company earns the highest return on capital?
Darling Ingredients Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 12%, across 30 of 30 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Packaged Foods stock is the cheapest?
On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — JBS N.V. screens cheapest at 0.16×. Only 15 of 30 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Is the Packaged Foods sector beating the market?
Packaged Foods has underperformed S&P 500 by 20.3% over the last 52 weeks and 6.6% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 8 of 28 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Packaged Foods stock has the strongest price momentum?
Westrock Coffee Company has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Packaged Foods company scores highest for research priority?
Seneca Foods Corporation scores 65.4 out of 100 with 59.9% evidence confidence, from 22.9 points on growth and earnings, 10.8 on capital efficiency, 15.7 on valuation and 16 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Packaged Foods companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 30 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Sep 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
What is the total market cap of the Packaged Foods sector?
The 30 Packaged Foods companies on this page carry $199,272 million of combined market value. The Kraft Heinz Company is the largest at $31,589 million, about 16% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-04.
What is the Packaged Foods sector's P/E ratio?
The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 30 Packaged Foods companies on this page is 13.8×, measured on the 28 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-04.
How is the Packaged Foods sector performing?
8 of the 28 covered Packaged Foods companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 20.3% behind S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-04.
How many Packaged Foods stocks are listed in the US?
This comparison covers 30 listed Packaged Foods companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Sep 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
