Conagra’s tough. I never buy a stock just for its yield. Conagra’s got a big yield, but I don’t want to go there.

Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:CAG) makes packaged foods, including pantry staples, frozen meals, and snacks. Some of its well-known brands include Marie Callender’s, Slim Jim, Birds Eye, and BOOMCHICKAPOP. Cramer mentioned the stock during the March 12 episode and said:

Conagra’s been a nightmare of a stock, even as the company’s put together a terrific family of brands, navigated a tough situation as best it could. At the same CAGNY conference I just referenced, Conagra reaffirmed guidance, but still said it sees full year sales at +1 to -1%. Not enough to get anyone excited. A year ago, Conagra was a $26 stock. Now, it’s a $16 stock. Sure, it has an 8.25% yield, but only because the stock’s been beaten down to such a low level, not because it keeps boosting its payout by leaps and bounds.
