CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a global manufacturer and marketer of branded, packaged, consumer foods and operates in the consumer foods industry. It also supplies branded and unbranded food products to the foodservice and commercial baking industries.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Food stocks are a safe bet in recessions. They are spread well over the food industry from breakfast foods like cherrios to the many products under the betty crocker name. Large amount of different brands and products, definitely a good bet for growth

Mostly adding from the standpoint of short-term diversification in an ugly market. If you had to pick a company in the food industry, this one appears to be effectively executing. Debt is a bit higher than I'd like, so not sure if this will be a long-term growth candidate.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
