Things to Consider
B&G Foods has been battling cost inflation for a while now. On its last-quarter earnings call, the company stated that it expects inflation to continue. It had anticipated increased pressure on prices of tomatoes and glass among others. The company further cited that it continues to see increased prices of core commodities such as soybean oil, wheat and corn, to name a few. These factors raise concerns for the quarter under review.
B&G Foods has been on track to mitigate the impacts of inflation by undertaking cost-saving initiatives and increasing list prices. Apart from these, B&G Foods’ brand strength bodes well. The company is focused on solidifying its brand portfolio through acquisitions of complementary branded businesses, developing new products and utilizing its multiple-channel sales and distribution system. Prudent buyouts like Crisco, spices & seasonings, Cream of Wheat, Clabber Girl, Ortega and Maple Grove Farms have been yielding well for BGS.
