Campbell Soup Company (CPB) has experienced varied reactions from market players following its
Q1 2026 results. With analysts cutting price targets and Barclays standing by their sell rating, the soup company has nevertheless seen a bullish valuation gap due to margin gains. Tariffs have deterred sales, but the company met revenue estimates despite this. Its stock price has slumped, hitting a 52-week low and leading some to question whether it's now a bargain. A potential turnaround could be in the works, with Campbell doubling down on Rao's and strong performance from premium brands.
The strategic purchase of La Regina stake suggests a possible shift in brand strategy. On a less positive note, a VP was put on leave due to controversial remarks and an alleged lawsuit. Campbell also reaffirmed its earnings guidance for 2026, continued to pay a dividend of $0.39, and saw investment by various companies. However, ongoing sales concerns and reduced analyst earnings forecasts persist, making the company a show-me story, albeit with potential for those betting on underdogs.
