Jim Cramer Says Conagra Brands’ High Dividend Is on “Historically an Unsustainable Level”

Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:CAG) was among the stocks Jim Cramer highlighted, along with his latest game plan as the oil-shock-driven sell-off continues. Cramer was bearish on the stock, as he said:

Wednesday brings another report from another food stock that is hurting and that is Conagra. Now, here’s the stock that typifies what’s been happening to the whole group, an endless multiple shrinkage where the market pays less and less for pretty much the same boring earnings. Conagra yields 9%. That is historically an unsustainable level. The company has stood by the dividend and talks positively about its frozen foods and its protein specialties. But the stock says the portfolio, as much as it’s curated by the company, is simply not delivering what the market wants. And that’s how you have to view it. It’s not personal.
