Campbell Soup

At the Barclays conference, Campbell’s unveiled a comprehensive realignment plan that includes price increases (averaging 2.5–3% on roughly 60% of the portfolio), plant optimizations and a $500 million cost-savings program through 2030. Management expects fiscal 2027 to be a challenging year with organic sales down 2–4%, EBIT down 7–12% and EPS down 17–24%. Meals & beverages (notably Rao’s) remain the growth driver, while the snacks business continues to be under pressure; Goldfish is showing early signs of stabilization. The goal is to expand gross margin in the second half of the year and to reduce net leverage to about 3x within three to four years. » Mere på de.investing.com

Campbell Soup Company is prioritizing a return to core fundamentals in Snacks and accelerating innovation via a new Growth Office while targeting households with kids for Goldfish and national campaigns for Pepperidge Farm. The company announced a $500 million enterprise cost‑savings program through fiscal 2030, a dividend reset and consideration of a hybrid bond to refinance a $500 million maturity. Management expects FY2027 organic sales to trough in Q1 with margins improving in H2 after pricing actions, and projects modest Snacks improvement but continued volume pressure as price increases of about 4–5% are rolled out on 60% of the portfolio. » Mere på finance.yahoo.com

Campbell's was dropped from the S&P 500 during the June rebalancing, joining Pool Corp in moving to the S&P SmallCap 600. The stock now yields north of 7% after a share-price decline driven by weak volumes, costs from the Sovos Brands deal and an ERP conversion. The company has paid a dividend for 51 years, with a payout ratio around 76% and solid cash-flow coverage, and recent moves include a 49% stake in La Regina to expand Rao's production. Dividend growth has been minimal, making Campbell's a high-yield, low-growth income play rather than a growth compounding stock. » Mere på finance.yahoo.com
