Pro Investor Academy research

Research data through Oct 29, 2026. Research is updated periodically, not in real time.

Quality

42

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 42 of 100, in the weaker band of the covered universe. This is a research reading about business durability, not a view on the share price.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

What this company does

The terms "B&G Foods," "our," "we" and "us," as used in this report, refer to B&G Foods, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, except where it is clear that the term refers only to the parent company. Throughout this report, we refer to our fiscal years ended December 30, 2023, December 28, 2024, January 3, 2026 and January 2, 2027 as "fiscal 2023," "fiscal 2024," "fiscal 2025" and "fiscal 2026," respectively. Typically, our fiscal years and fiscal quarters consist of 52 and 13 weeks, respectively, ending on the Saturday closest to December 31 in the case of our fiscal year and fourth fiscal quarter, and on the Saturday closest to the end of the corresponding calendar quarter in the case of our other fiscal quarters. As a result, a 53rd week is added to our fiscal year every five or six years. Fiscal 2026 contains 52 weeks, fiscal 2025 contained 53 weeks, and fiscal 2024 and 2023 each contained 52 weeks. Each quarter of fiscal 2026 will contain 13 weeks, and the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 and each quarter of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 contained 13 weeks. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 contained 14 weeks. When we refer to a "quarter" in this report, we are referring to a fiscal quarter.

B&G Foods manufactures, sells and distributes a diverse portfolio of branded, high-quality, shelf-stable and frozen food and household products across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Many of our branded products have leading regional or national market shares. In general, we position our products to appeal to the consumer desiring a high-quality and reasonably priced product. We complement our branded product retail sales with institutional and foodservice sales and private label sales.

B&G Foods, including our subsidiaries and predecessors, has been in business for over 130 years. We were incorporated in Delaware on November 25, 1996 under the name B Companies Holdings Corp. On August 11, 1997, we changed our name to B&G Foods Holdings Corp. On October 14, 2004, B&G Foods, Inc., then our wholly owned subsidiary, was merged with and into us and we were renamed B&G Foods, Inc.

Our company has been built upon a successful track record of both organic and acquisition-related growth. Our goal is to continue to increase sales, profitability and cash flows through organic growth, disciplined acquisitions of complementary branded businesses and new product development. Since 1996, we have successfully acquired and integrated more than 50 brands into our company.
