RBC Capital analyst David Palmer writes in his research note titled "Weathering the Storm" that Conagra is executing and surpassing its own expectations at a time when some U.S. food companies are breaking from their long term growth trends to stabilize their sales declines. Palmer acknowledges that Conagra is facing some profit headwinds for Q3 due to higher freight costs and lighter volumes after a weather-related stock-up in Q2, but also points to accelerating base sales and volume growth in the frozen foods segment. The analyst keeps his Outperform rating and $45 price target on Conagra.
