Conagra Brands has been removed from the S&P 500 and related indices as part of an index rebalancing, while simultaneously being added to smaller cap indices. The stock is down 17.1% year to date and 25.8% over the past year, though it has gained 4.1% over the past week and 11.5% over the past month. The company also rolled out a wide range of new frozen and shelf-stable products across brands like Banquet, Healthy Choice, and Marie Callender's, targeting convenience, higher protein, and value price points. The index change may affect how some passive funds hold the stock, and the upcoming departure of director Emanuel Chirico, who is not standing for reelection, removes an experienced voice as the company adjusts to its new index status and leans into brand rollouts.
