B&G Foods Set to Release Q1 Earnings: Key Insights for Investors
Read MoreHide Full Article
B&G Foods, Inc. (BGS - Free Report) is likely to register a decline in both top and bottom lines when it reports first-quarter 2025 earnings on May 7, after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $461 million, indicating a 3% drop from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus mark for earnings has remained unchanged in the past 30 days at 14 cents per share, which implies a 22.2% decrease from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter. BGS delivered a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 11.3%, on average. (Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.)
B&G Foods’ first-quarter 2025 results are likely to be impacted by the continued challenging consumption environment. The company noted on its last earnings call that January began on a softer note, as retailers pulled back on holiday and seasonal merchandising earlier than expected. These dynamics have contributed to weaker shipments and reflected broader industry-wide demand softness.
The company has been experiencing subdued sales trends over recent quarters, caused by macroeconomic pressures including persistent food inflation and shifts in consumer spending behavior. BGS expects volume headwinds to continue into the first half of 2025, as cautious consumers remain sensitive to elevated prices. This, in turn, is likely to have put pressure on the company’s volumes in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, B&G Foods’ portfolio reshaping, focus on high-margin segments and cost-saving initiatives are likely to have provided some cushion. Key efforts like innovation in spices and Mexican meals, and operational efficiencies are likely to have supported consumer demand and profitability to some extent.
