Conagra Brands, Inc. (CAG) reported $11.2B in revenue over the twelve months to Aug 30, 2026, down 1.8% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
The business remains cash-generative, but FY2026 shows shrinking sales, thinner margins, and a balance-sheet contraction behind a severe accounting loss.
FY2026 paired a net loss of$1.9B with operating cash flow of$1.4B . With free cash flow at$979M versus$1.3B in FY2025, that separation indicates cash conversion relied on non-earnings items and timing rather than current-period profitability; cash and earnings were moving in opposite directions.
