Valuing ConAgra Foods stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of ConAgra Foods's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
ConAgra Foods's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 26x. In other words, ConAgra Foods shares trade at around 26x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).
ConAgra Foods's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.828. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into ConAgra Foods's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like ConAgra Foods is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).

Dividend payout ratio: 49.9% of net profits
Recently ConAgra Foods has paid out, on average, around 49.9% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.48% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), ConAgra Foods shareholders could enjoy a 3.48% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In ConAgra Foods's case, that would currently equate to about $1.285 per share.
While ConAgra Foods's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that ConAgra Foods may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
ConAgra Foods's most recent dividend payout was on 1 March 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 26 January 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
ConAgra Foods's shares were split on a 1285:1000 basis on 9 November 2016. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1285 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your ConAgra Foods shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 22.2% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for ConAgra Foods shares which in turn could have impacted ConAgra Foods's share price.
Over the last 12 months, ConAgra Foods's shares have ranged in value from as little as $29.246 up to $41.3. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while ConAgra Foods's is 0.5738. This would suggest that ConAgra Foods's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
