Campbell Soup
About: Over the past 150-plus years, Campbell has evolved into a leading packaged food manufacturer in North America, with a portfolio that extends beyond its iconic red-and-white labeled canned soup. In fiscal 2024, snacks accounted for nearly half of its revenue, followed by soup (28%), other simple meals (17%), and beverages (7%). Outside its namesake, its brands include Pepperidge Farm, Goldfish, Snyder's of Hanover, Swanson, Pacific Foods, Prego, Pace, V8, and recently acquired Rao's (a deal that closed in March 2024). Around 90% of its revenue results from the US and the remainder from Canada and Latin America.

The Campbell's Company: Still Struggling To Improve Organic Growth
I reiterate my hold rating for Campbell's stock due to continued struggles with organic growth and weak core business performance. CPB's 2Q25 results show a 2% decline in organic sales, with gross margin contracting and EBIT margin falling, leading to a downward revision of FY25 guidance. Structural issues persist in both the Snacks and Meals & Beverages segments, with ineffective promotions and declining margins despite cost optimizations.
