$220M chicken facility expansion; Q2 organic sales -6.8%; dividend yield 7.36%

Conagra Brands is investing $220M to add capacity to a chicken processing facility amid strong demand for a recently introduced fried chicken product, while navigating a 6.8% decline in net Q2 FY2026 net sales and a -20.1% operating margin. The stock fell 5.7% after peer Campbell's reported disappointing results, with Wells Fargo downgrading the stock on challenges ahead. The current dividend yield of 7.36% and Q3 FY2026 earnings are due April 1, 2026, with analysts watching for margin recovery signs.
