Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. paid $1.51 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.38 for Aug 2026. At today's price of $56.60 that is a yield of 2.67%, 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.

Lamb Weston Holdings is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list.

Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. earned $29.1 M of net profit in the Aug 2026 quarter, −54.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was $290 M. Over 5 years profit has grown 1.7% a year on average. That is 1.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $64.3 M.

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

1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

For the full year, FY26 profit was $290 M (−18.8% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +0.7% on a year earlier and the margin moved −2.5 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −42.1% and revenue +2.6%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. reported $1.7 B of revenue in the Aug 2026 quarter, +0.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 7th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 5 years it has grown 12.5% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $6.6 B.

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

The last four reported quarters add to $6.6 B.

FY26 revenue was $6.6 B, +2.5% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +2.6% on average, against 12.5% 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 +2.6%, against +1.3% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −13.4%, against −35.8% a year (accelerating).

Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc.'s operating margin was 9.5% in the Aug 2026 quarter, 2.5 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 years it has been between 10.8% and 16.9%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period.

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 −2.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.9 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 190% of Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $943 M of operating cash against $290 M of profit. After $403 M of spending on assets, $540 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.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

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

Lamb Weston Holdings, 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 $2.0 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 9.9% 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: $2.0 B 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.

Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc.'s P/E is 30.9×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 87% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 21.6×, over 4.7 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

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.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −16.8% while the price moved −9.3%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range.

Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved −15.6% a year; about −35.8% a year came from earnings growth and about +20.2 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple.

In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc.'s business is getting worse. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking: profit growth is −13.4% in the latest quarter, against +137.3% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE falling at 11.0%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures.

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.
