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.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Give Their Take On 3 Defensive Stocks With Over 4% Dividend Yields

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer said MicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) is a Bitcoin play and he prefers to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSTR/analyst-ratings">actually own </a>Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
MicroStrategy announced it completed its previously announced offering of its 0% convertible senior notes due 2029. MicroStrategy said the aggregate principal amount of the notes sold in the offering was $3 billion, which includes $400 million aggregate principal amount of notes issued pursuant to an option to purchase.
When asked about Oscar Health, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OSCR#NYSE">OSCR</a>), he said, &#8220;Until I saw that Mark Bertolini is the CEO, I didn't really have much in store for this. But Bertolini's a winner and a hitter.&#8221;
On Nov. 7, Oscar Health reported a quarterly loss of 22 cents per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of a loss of 19 cents per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $2.42 billion which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $2.34 billion.
CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNH#NYSE">CNH</a>) is a &#8220;second-rater,&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;I want to go with best of breed, and best of breed is John Deere (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DE#NYSE">DE</a>).&#8221;
On Nov. 7, CNH Industrial reported worse-than-expected third-quarter EPS results and also lowered FY24 adjusted EPS outlook.
&#8220;The former, BGS, is a total loser and has been a loser for many, many years,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about B&amp;G Foods, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BGS#NYSE">BGS</a>).
On Nov. 5, B&amp;G Foods reported worse-than-expected third-quarter financial results and issued FY24 net sales guidance below estimates.
When asked about Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>), he said, &#8220;It's moth to flame, but I don't know how close the moth is to the flame.&#8221;
On Nov. 19, Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak maintained Rocket Lab with a Neutral and raised the price target from $5 to $12.
Price Action:
<ul>
<li>Oscar Health shares fell 4.1% to settle at $16.31 on Thursday.</li>
<li>CNH Industrial shares gained 4.6% to close at $11.92.</li>
