Oct 2 (Reuters) - Conagra Brands ( CAG ) posted a
bigger-than-expected drop in first-quarter sales on Wednesday as
budget-conscious consumers prioritized shopping for lower-priced
alternatives over the company's higher-priced pantry staples.
The company's quarterly net sales fell 3.8% to $2.79
billion. Analysts had expected a decline of 2.1% to $2.84
billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.
