The net profit margin of ConAgra Foods Inc has exhibited considerable fluctuations over the analyzed period, reflecting changing profitability levels across different fiscal quarters. Starting from a low of approximately 1.42% as of August 31, 2022, the margin demonstrated a positive trend, reaching a peak of approximately 11.50% on February 28, 2023. This upward trajectory suggests improved profitability and operational efficiency during this period.

Subsequent quarters showed some variability, with the margin declining to around 6.38% by May 31, 2023, indicating a moderation in profitability following the earlier peak. The margin figures for August 2023 reflect a stable yet slightly declining trend, maintaining around 6.19%, which may imply stabilization post-growth phase.

In late 2023 and early 2024, the net profit margin increased again, reaching approximately 10.09% on November 30, 2023, before experiencing a slight reduction to around 9.72%-9.91% in early 2024. These fluctuations point to ongoing adjustments in profitability, possibly influenced by changes in revenue, costs, or operational efficiency.

However, a notable deterioration appears in mid-2024, as the margin turns negative, reaching approximately -4.44% on May 31, 2024, and worsening further to around -3.11% by August 31, 2024. This decline indicates the company encountered significant profitability challenges during this period, potentially due to increased costs, competitive pressures, or adverse market conditions.

The negative trend persisted into late 2024, with margins around -3.28% as of November 30, 2024. Yet, a reversal is observed with positive margins resuming in early 2025, notably reaching approximately 2.80% on February 28, 2025, and significantly increasing to about 9.92% by May 31, 2025. This recent upward movement suggests a recovery in profitability and operational performance.

Overall, the net profit margin trends of ConAgra Foods Inc illustrate cycles of growth, stabilization, deterioration, and recovery, highlighting the company's ongoing efforts to manage profitability amidst varying market and operational conditions.
