Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 27 weeks running.

This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

B&G Foods, Inc. paid $0.67 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.10 for Jul 2026. At today's price of $2.57 that is a yield of 26.07%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast.

A dividend is cash paid out for each share. The 12-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

B&G Foods is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list.

B&G Foods, Inc. posted a net loss of $4.0 M in the Jul 2026 quarter. The full FY26 year was a loss of $43.3 M. That loss is 1.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $9.8 M. 8 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

B&G Foods, Inc. reported $383 M of revenue in the Jul 2026 quarter, −9.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown −2.9% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $1.8 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.8 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

FY26 revenue was $1.8 B, −5.4% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −6.1% on average, against −2.9% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −4.9%, against −5.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising).

B&G Foods, Inc.'s operating margin was 12.0% in the Jul 2026 quarter, 2.3 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 9.2% and 12.3%. The latest quarter is within that range.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +2.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.8 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

B&G Foods, Inc.'s cash-flow history is too short to judge how much of its profit turns into cash. In FY26 it brought in $101 M of operating cash against −$43.3 M of profit. After $30.6 M of spending on assets, $70.7 M was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

B&G Foods, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $84.0 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 1.5% of FY26 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $84.0 M over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

B&G Foods, Inc. has no P/E right now, because its earnings are negative. The revenue and margin sections are where a turn would show first. Measured against sales instead, the market values B&G Foods, Inc. at 0.1× its FY26 revenue of $1.8 B. The P/E comes back here once profit turns positive.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

B&G Foods, Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction.

One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result.

There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the stock price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

B&G Foods, Inc. earned a ROE of −10% in FY26. That is up from a low of −48% in FY24. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 3.2 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a −2.4% net margin and 0.65× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. We do not have the full capital split, so ROE is the longest history we can draw here.

Why the return is what it is (FY26): a −2.4% net margin × 0.65× asset turnover × 6.26× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −9.8% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it.

The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 8.2% − 5.0% = +3.2 percentage points. The 5.0% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error.

B&G Foods, Inc. has total debt of $2.6 B against shareholder equity of $395 M as of Jul 2026, so its debt is 6.52× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 2.54 in FY22 to 4.42 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page.

Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Lower is safer, and the direction matters as much as the level.

17.7% of B&G Foods, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 5.9 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead.

There is no quarter-by-quarter list of owners here, so we look at short interest: the share of tradable shares held in short positions, which gain if the price falls.

It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history.

Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who has the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story.

For B&G Foods, Inc., the Z-score is 1.12. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure.
