BGS
B&G Foods, Inc. (BGS) Business Model Analysis (2026)
Overall Score
Revenue Quality
Revenue remains supported by a low EV/Sales multiple of 1.29x, suggesting the market is pricing in limited growth.
Gross margin is 20.8%, indicating a modest but not high-quality margin profile for a branded food business.
Profitability
Operating margin is 10.2%, but net margin remains negative at -4.0% due to below-the-line pressure.
Return on equity is -16.5% and return on assets is -2.1%, showing the business is still not generating attractive accounting returns.
Cash Flow
Free cash flow remains positive, with FCF yield at 23.9% and FCF/EV at 32.5%, indicating strong cash generation relative to valuation.
Capex intensity is low at 1.1% of revenue, supporting cash conversion despite weak earnings quality.
Balance Sheet
Leverage remains elevated with net debt to EBITDA at 14.6x and debt to equity at 6.5x, limiting financial flexibility.
Current ratio of 1.62x and cash ratio of 0.79x provide some near-term liquidity support, but the balance sheet is still highly levered.
Valuation
The stock screens inexpensive on sales and book value, with P/S at 0.17x and P/B at 0.74x.
However, the low valuation is offset by negative earnings and high leverage, which keep the overall valuation case from looking compelling.
