CEO Retires as B&G Foods Faces 6.7% Revenue Drop in Q2 Forecast
BGS is trading near its 52-week low of $3.42 (2.9% above the low).
Summary
CEO Kenneth Keller retired effective August 7, with Robert Mills named as the new CEO. The departure comes as consensus estimates point to a tough Q2: EPS of $0.07 on revenue of about $395.95 million, a 6.7% decline from last year. This follows a May dividend cut and a $475 million debt refinancing at 11%, underscoring ongoing financial strain. The stock is trading near its 52-week low of $3.42, reflecting market skepticism. The new CEO's strategy will be critical to reversing the sales slide.
