ConAgra also announced plans to increase its dividend by a penny to 25 cents per share.

And the company now says predicts adjusted earnings of $2.03 to $2.06 per share, up from its previous forecast of $1.95 to $1.99 per share.

ConAgra’s shares gained more than 6 percent Thursday and set a new 52-week high at $27.75.
