News

Fresh Del Monte Produce Clarifies It Is Not Affiliated With Del Monte Foods Inc.; Fresh Del Monte Says It Is Unaffected By Recent Litigation, Chapter 11 Proceedings Of Del Monte Foods

Del Monte Foods, a 138-year-old titan in canned fruits and vegetables, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 1 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, aiming to restructure its finances and pursue a sale of its assets.
What Happened: The company, known for brands like Del Monte, Contadina, and College Inn, secured $912.5 million in debtor-in-possession financing, including $165 million in new funds, to maintain operations during this process, according to a press release
The company's struggles stem from a combination of heavy debt, shifting consumer preferences, and macroeconomic pressures. 
A CNN Business <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/02/food/del-monte-foods-bankruptcy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> indicates that consumers are increasingly favoring healthier, preservative-free alternatives, reducing demand for Del Monte's core products.
While competitors adapted to trends like plant-based fresh foods and innovative packaging, Del Monte's flat sales of $2.4 billion in fiscal 2024 and a $127 million net loss reflect its failure to pivot effectively.
Greg Longstreet, the president and CEO of Del Monte Foods, said that the company &#8220;faced challenges intensified by a dynamic macroeconomic environment.&#8221; 
Additionally, the 2014 acquisition by Del Monte Pacific Limited saddled the U.S. subsidiary with over $1.2 billion in secured debt, exacerbated by rising interest rates, as <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-02/canned-food-producer-del-monte-foods-files-for-bankruptcy">noted </a>by Bloomberg. 
&#8220;This is a strategic step forward for Del Monte Foods. After a thorough evaluation of all available options, we determined a court-supervised sale process is the most effective way to accelerate our turnaround and create a stronger and enduring Del Monte Foods,&#8221; added Longstreet.

Earnings Scheduled For April 30, 2025

As of April 24, 2025, two stocks in the consumer staples sector could be flashing a real warning to investors who value momentum as a key criteria in their trading decisions.

Top 2 Defensive Stocks You May Want To Dump This Quarter

Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDP#NASDAQ">FDP</a>), a global producer, marketer and distributor of fresh produce, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44492470/fresh-del-monte-acquires-majority-stake-in-avolio-an-avocado-oil-producer-to-further-its-commitmen">has acquired Avolio</a>, Uganda's leading provider of bulk crude and edible avocado oil.
Through this move, Fresh Del Monte will secure a majority ownership stake in Avolio, further advancing its strategic goal of expanding into high-value specialty ingredients.
The acquisition enables Fresh Del Monte to capitalize on Avolio&#8217;s advanced avocado oil extraction technology, converting avocados into high-quality oil.

This move is intended to drive growth within the company's Specialty Ingredients and Innovation sector. Since avocados are one of the few fruits that yield oil from the pulp, Fresh Del Monte can create value from avocados that cannot be sold whole. 
The company plans to scale Avolio&#8217;s technology, which can process up to 140 metric tons of avocados per day. Fresh Del Monte held<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/25/02/43910591/fresh-del-monte-stock-falls-as-q4-sales-earnings-miss-expectations"> $32.6 million in cash and equivalents </a>as of December 27, 2024.
&#8220;Acquiring Avolio is a strategic step aligned with our long-term vision to extract greater value across our supply chain while advancing our commitment to sustainability,&#8221; said chairman and CEO Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh.
&#8220;It complements our newest business division — biomass and specialty ingredients — through which we are transforming agricultural byproducts into high-impact solutions that enhance soil health, support human wellness, and create new applications for a circular economy.&#8221;
The avocado oil market is growing rapidly. It is currently valued at $1.2 billion and, according to Fortune Business Insights, will grow at an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% to 10%.
As part of its strategy to capture a larger share of this market, Fresh Del Monte plans to increase production capacity and develop additional facilities to meet the rising global demand for avocado oil.
Price Action: FDP shares traded higher by 0.27% at $29.28 at last check on Wednesday.

Fresh Del Monte Acquires Avolio To Expand Into Avocado Oil Market

Fresh Del Monte Produce Acquires Majority Stake In Avolio, Uganda's Leading Supplier Of Bulk Crude And Edible Avocado Oil; Financial Terms Not Disclosed

Consumers will likely get a reprieve from the Trump Administration&#8217;s tariffs at least until the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44149833/trump-delays-ford-gm-stellantis-from-from-tariffs-on-mexico-canada-for-one-month">first week of April</a>. Still, the scattershot tariffs, combined with weakening economic data, seem to have spooked investors.
We won&#8217;t know what happens next for a while, but Mexico <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44092335/trumps-tariffs-threaten-canada-mexico-china-and-american-wallets">continues to be a target</a> of the Administration&#8217;s tariff policies.
We&#8217;re already starting to see the effects of this on imports like vehicle parts, electronics and apparel. But the even bigger hit may land on food and beverages. Berries, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, avocados and many more perishables are all imported to the U.S. from Mexico at high rates, especially during the off-season.
Tariffs and uncertainty are already impacting these imports, and more will likely follow. Companies that rely on these imports will struggle to pass on the added costs to their customers.
Let&#8217;s take a look at four food stocks you&#8217;d be wise to avoid.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. </h2>
Let&#8217;s start with the obvious one. Chipotle (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NASDAQ">CMG</a>), whose stock has taken hits from multiple directions over the last few months. For starters, fears of an economic slowdown have shifted how Americans eat, and restaurant sales are beginning to sag as more people choose to eat at home. And now, the promise of tariffs on Mexico threatens to drive up prices for the casual fast-dining chain, which sources many crucial products from Mexico, especially its famous guacamole.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcx4_iWwYRKwRtJVxI0R_h-7vkMzPD-2Y-jY-z-6qiVyqiMneTBS_-ddOVRCiLp-GgBiCtx3YyIrdf7o_NvrpVNzJ5sNHKP9Z7fXXIgKesqmb5sKm1NpMsAdsXbSrtB4-vWRfMAqA?key=t0qZDK9I7zAEqr3n0pxiRKSh" alt="" /></figure>
Chipotle could see severe price increases on its menu items, which source many ingredients like lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, fresh peppers and spices from Mexico. And while Chipotle's margins are strong compared to competitors like Wendy's or Domino's, gross margins have declined for three consecutive quarters. The stock's valuation is pretty lofty as well, with a 42.7 price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, 2.36 PEG ratio, and a 5.7 Price-to-Sales (P/S) rate. CMG's latest earnings release disappointed investors as the company matched EPS estimates but missed on revenue. Benzinga Edge gives the stock only a 28.28 score for Momentum and 16.29 for Value.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Calavo Growers Inc. </h2>
One of the largest growers of avocados in the world, Calavo Growers (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVGW#NASDAQ">CVGW</a>) would face significant pressure from Mexico tariffs. Calavo sells avocados, tomatoes and fresh papaya to grocery stores, food distributors, clubhouse wholesalers and food service industries. In a sector with already razor-thin margins, Calavo has limited ability to absorb price increases and also limited negotiating power with its clients, who also have thin margins, like grocery stores and wholesalers. 
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXf4CgppD4UCDFy-OLP1UK6Zoo1pwE_kEWSlYIEg3Sv6Tta0rwJcu6l80DFSzEMuo-tN3SDPM9roeEuYMNB0kE2zPKrydnLW2ATcb-HzNxxcM0PhfwoOsrySF_8OBXww71svyGPF?key=t0qZDK9I7zAEqr3n0pxiRKSh" alt="" /></figure>
Calavo recently broke a string of 12 consecutive quarters with negative net margins. Still, its valuation remains elevated as the stock trades at 30 times earnings, two times book value and 19.5 times free cash flow. It also grades poorly in two crucial Benzinga Edge metrics: 22.73 in Momentum and 35.38 in Growth. In its most recent earnings release on March 12, the company beat on EPS estimates but missed on revenue. Analysis of CVGW is sparse, with only one firm updating its view so far in 2025. Lake Street analyst Ben Klieve has maintained the stock at Buy but lowered his price target to $35 from $40.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">US Foods Holding Corp. </h2>
Another fresh food distributor with consistent revenue and earnings declines recently is US Foods Holding Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USFD#NYSE">USFD</a>), which distributes perishable, non-perishable, and non-food products to restaurants, schools, hospitals, government offices and grocery stores. Customers can get fresh, frozen, or dry food delivered from 70 different locations. The firm lists over 250,000 establishments as clients. US Foods has better profit margins than Calavo, but it&#8217;s still in a very slender range. The company saw its net profit margin shrink in the most recent Q4 earnings release, which was the first margin decline in nearly two years.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfO8JwghAwbl-G6W1wyRtknHgo7u-cNJih9zo4EPIdm6fBkczpmpbeWxxNq9pKodml-sbbMQF7Fl_agiUQ2GPaEjVlbslLCuQWKVOOmJvPibajMxs3SCR75tSfk4kCD_9t1I0vj?key=t0qZDK9I7zAEqr3n0pxiRKSh" alt="" /></figure>
US Foods could suffer from tariffs and declining restaurant foot traffic in the coming months. USFD earnings have been evaporating for three straight quarters and its valuation has gotten stretched. The stock currently trades at 32.7 times earnings, and despite its margin growth, the company still lags behind competitors like Sysco and Mission Produce in turning revenue dollars into actual profit.
Benzinga Edge isn't too fond of the stock's short-term future either, with just a 29.24 Value score and 43.19 Growth score. Some analysts defended the stock in February with price target hikes despite a Q4 revenue. However, EPS and revenue projections for the Q1 report on May 8 are lower than in the three previous quarters.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. </h2>
Don't let the enticing dividend fool you &#8211; Fresh Del Monte Produce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDP#NYSE">FDP</a>) could struggle in the coming months if tariffs take a bite out of the company's profits. Fresh Del Monte produces and distributes fresh fruit and vegetables, including pineapples, melons, avocados, bananas, non-tropical fruits and other prepared foods. However, alarm bells began to sound in February thanks to a disastrous Q4 earnings report, which saw the company miss EPS estimates by nearly 30% and revenue by almost 2%.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXf8D0roez_0diA0WBOEcZ8vW9dUoFGyGLNFFNctpfV8pr38sF3lRyYTChq_-uhOzGiBSjLDwVAj8kxZMVZCxQfBV-JUvdQ85aJqF1RVk985RfG83XFgqnqKWfJnYLuLJb34NXJj?key=t0qZDK9I7zAEqr3n0pxiRKSh" alt="" /></figure>
Fresh Del Monte posted a 3.3% profit margin in the most recent quarter, which is stronger than food giants like Tyson Foods or Archer Daniels but still less attractive than smaller competitors like Cal-Maine Foods and Vital Farms. The stock trades at just 10 times forward earnings with a 0.34 Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio, but Benzinga Edge has poor short-term views for FDP shares thanks to a 52.13 Quality score and a paltry 4.48 Growth score.
