Manufactures and distributes shelf-stable and frozen foods. Offers a wide range of products including vegetables, cooking oils, cereals, and sauces. Now — the numbers.
That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.
The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.

Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 31 buys and 23 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
It pays out $0.67 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
A loss of $43.3M against $1.8B in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts about 1.3 years. After that, the company needs to find new money.
On our five-subject report card, BGS sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: BGS’s sales are going backwards, and it closed last year at a loss. The road back runs through both.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
