Conagra, Mondelez and Penske: 3 US dividend stocks for a higher-for-longer rate climate

With Federal Reserve officials signalling that borrowing costs may stay higher for longer, with rates near 3.9% and inflation above target, a Simply Wall St screen has picked three US large-cap value stocks for income investors. Conagra Brands, a $6.4 billion packaged foods group, is funding Project Catalyst, a process and technology overhaul. Most financial benefits are expected from fiscal 2028 onward. Mondelez International, valued at $77.1 billion, kept its pricing actions after earlier cocoa cost spikes. Management calls the cocoa market structurally oversupplied in 2026, which may steady input costs. Penske Automotive Group, a $12.9 billion transportation services group, is growing higher-margin service and parts income. Retail Automotive brings in about $27.9 billion of its revenue.
