The consensus mark for earnings has remained unchanged at 11 cents per share in the past 30 days. The consensus estimate indicates a decrease of 15.4% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. BGS delivered a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 37.3%, on average.
Factors to Consider Ahead of BGS’ Upcoming Results
B&G Foods has been witnessing soft sales for the past few quarters. During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, B&G Foods experienced declining sales across all major business segments, reflecting ongoing challenges in consumer demand, pricing pressures and elevated promotional activity.
Cost headwinds have further strained performance. Elevated raw material prices —particularly for key ingredients such as spices, canned vegetables and cooking oils, along with higher selling, general and administrative expenses — have limited margin expansion opportunities. This combination of sluggish sales and ongoing cost inflation poses a risk to profitability for the quarter under review.
Nevertheless, management’s efforts to counteract these challenges through targeted productivity initiatives and disciplined cost control may have provided some cushion. B&G Foods’ ongoing focus on operational efficiencies, innovation and portfolio optimization — particularly its shift toward more profitable, shelf-stable categories —could help partially offset the impact of weaker volumes and input cost volatility.
