BGS div now yields 7.4% so that may/could get cut as another way to get that debt lower.
Any chance you've done any analysis of when the debt comes due, and whether they may be able to refinance, or not, or whether the large debt position is expected to cause a dividend cut?
Oh never mind, looks like they just declared the dividend again.....
I looked at their Q3 2018 report, and $350m of their debt is short term, with $1.7b long term. And they had $200m cash, But I think they sold something called Pirate Booty to Hershey for $420m cash late last year.
I wonder if they can just refinance their long term debt as it come due, or whether it's really an issue?
