Conagra Brands (CAG) Reports September 30 at 7:30 AM ET: What to Watch
As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on September 30, 2026.

Investors have a narrow window to position before Conagra Brands reports earnings on September 30 at 7:30 AM ET, with consensus set at $0.28 in earnings per share and store brands pressuring the packaged-food aisle.
The private-label threat is the central question heading into this report. If store brands are still pulling shoppers away from Conagra's name-brand products, management will have a difficult time explaining a path to growth, and the $0.28 consensus leaves almost no room to absorb a shortfall.
Conagra has beaten expectations in three of the last four quarters, but past beats do not insulate a stock when the category trend is working against it. A miss here, or cautious forward commentary, carries more weight than the headline earnings figure itself.
Investors watching the 7:30 AM ET release should pay close attention to any language around market share and volume trends in the retail grocery segment, since those details will signal whether the store-brand headwind is stabilizing or still intensifying.
