B&G Foods, Inc. (BGS) Risks & Opportunities Analysis (2026)

Invetso Score: 5.8/10 — Balanced · Last Updated: 2026-08-01

Overall Score

Financial Risk

Leverage remains very high with net debt to EBITDA at 14.6x and debt to equity at 6.5x, keeping balance-sheet risk elevated.

Interest coverage is still thin at 1.19x and pretax margin remains negative, indicating limited cushion if operating conditions weaken.

Liquidity is adequate for now with a current ratio of 1.62x and quick ratio of 1.09x, but the capital structure remains stretched.

Operational Risk

Operating margin is only 10.2% and EBITDA margin 7.7%, suggesting modest operating efficiency for a consumer packaged goods business.

Inventory days remain elevated at 101.8 and the cash conversion cycle is 101.7 days, which ties up working capital.

Revenue quality is mixed, with operating cash flow conversion still modest despite positive free cash flow generation.

Valuation Opportunity

The stock screens inexpensive on sales and cash flow with EV/sales at 1.29x and price/free cash flow at 4.19x.

Price/book is low at 0.74x and price/fair value is also 0.74x, implying the market is discounting the asset base.

However, negative earnings and weak profitability limit how much valuation support can be attributed to current fundamentals.
