The Campbell's (NASDAQ:CPB) Bolsa

THE CAMPBELL'S COMPANY

Campbell Soup

Over the past 150-plus years, Campbell's has evolved into a leading domestic packaged food manufacturer, with a portfolio that extends beyond its iconic red-and-white labeled canned soup. In fiscal 2024 (July year-end), 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.

Amazon.com Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) has subtly increased prices on everyday items in a move that is in stark contrast to the company&#8217;s earlier promise to maintain prices despite the tariffs.
What Happened:&nbsp;Amazon has raised prices on a range of low-cost products by an average of 5% since the initial tariff announcement by President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;in February,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/amazon-price-hikes-essentials-60a7c7f3?mod=hp_lead_pos8">reported</a>&nbsp;The Wall Street Journal. This increase is despite Amazon&#8217;s previous commitment to price stability in April.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/KO" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AMZN stock here</a>.
A Wall Street Journal analysis of nearly 2,500 items found that while Amazon raised prices on 1,200 of its most affordable household products such such as deodorant, protein shakes, competitor Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) reduced prices on the same items by nearly 2%. The contrasting pricing strategies highlight how major retailers are navigating the uncertainty around tariffs and adjusting their pricing in response.
Amazon struggles to profit from these items due to high shipping costs, vendor consultant Corey Thomas told the publication, while Walmart can absorb losses since in-store shoppers often buy higher-margin products.
The e-commerce giant, however, has refuted the Journal&#8217;s findings, stating that the products analyzed do not accurately represent the overall pricing of the company. &#8220;We&nbsp;have not seen the average&nbsp;prices of products offered in&nbsp;our store change up or&nbsp;down appreciably,&#8221; Amazon said in a statement.
Manufacturers of several products that saw price hikes on Amazon said they had not increased their retail prices. Even U.S.-made items like soups from Campbell Soup (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) were affected. The sharpest single-day price jump for low-cost goods on Amazon happened on February 15, just two days after Trump suggested tariffs could extend to most U.S. trading partners.

Why It Matters: This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46434330/economists-on-june-cpi-numbers-the-absence-of-bad-news-is-good-news-but-fed-unlikely-to-sway-on-interest-rates">price hike </a>comes in the context of a broader economic landscape. In June, economists noted that inflation was largely in line with expectations, despite growing tariff-related pressures. However, Amazon&#8217;s decision to raise prices subtly may be seen as a response to these pressures.
Earlier in May, Amazon had planned to list U.S. tariff costs on its website, a move that was<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45194656/amazon-drops-plan-to-list-tariff-costs-on-site-after-trump-administration-calls-the-move-a-hostile-and-political-action"> later scrapped </a>following a call from President Trump who earlier called it a &#8220;Hostile, Political Act.&#8221; In contrast, Walmart responded to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45536218/walmart-responds-to-trumps-eat-the-tariff-remark-worked-to-keep-our-prices-as-low-as-possible-and-we-wont-stop">Trump&#8217;s tariffs </a>by striving to keep prices as low as possible.
The differing strategies of these retail giants highlight the varied approaches to navigating the complex tariff landscape.

Amazon Quietly Hikes Prices On Everyday Essentials Despite Pledge To Hold Steady Amid Tariff Turmoil: Report

The Campbell's's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NYSE">CPB</a>) short percent of float has risen 8.47% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 23.47 million shares sold short, which is 12.17% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.7 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752771628_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for The Campbell's has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing The Campbell's's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, The Campbell's's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.05%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

In a market increasingly defined by innovation and shifting consumer preferences, the recent recommendations from financial guru Jim Cramer on CNBC reflect broader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jim-cramer">trends in technology and finance.</a>
On Thurday&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Cramer recommended buying SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>).
SoFi Technologies shares rose on Tuesday following a report suggesting it will allow retail clients to invest in companies including SpaceX, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SOFI">OpenAI and Epic Games</a>.
Cramer said although he likes Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKTA#NASDAQ">OKTA</a>), but he would rather own CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>).
Okta, on May 27, reported first-quarter revenue of $688 million, beating analyst estimates of $680.25 million. The company reported adjusted earnings of 86 cents per share, beating analyst estimates of 77 cents per share.
American Express Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) goes &#8220;higher,&#8221; Cramer said.
Supporting his view, Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analyst Sanjay Sakhrani, on Wednesday, maintained American Express with an Outperform rating and raised the price target from $360 to $371, while Truist Securities maintained the stock with a Buy and raised the price target from $335 to $340.
When asked about Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FICO#NYSE">FICO</a>), he said. &#8220;I'm going to stick my neck out and say that I think FICO is ok here.&#8221;
Lending support to his choice, BMO Capital analyst Ryan Griffin, on Thursday, initiated coverage on Fair Isaac with an Outperform rating and announced a price target of $2,000.
Cramer recommended waiting for a pullback in Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LECO#NASDAQ">LECO</a>) shares.
On the earnings front, Lincoln Electric will release its second quarter results on Thursday, July 31, before the opening bell.
&#8220;I think you're fine to be able to buy some,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about The Campbell&#8217;s Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>).
Supporting his view, Campbell's Company posted better-than-expected third-quarter results on June 2.
Price Action:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>SoFi shares gained 3.7% to settle at $20.97 on Thursday.</li>
<li>Okta shares fell 4.8% to close at $94.41.</li>

Market veteran Warren Buffett, famous for his value investing, is indirectly invested in high-dividend yield stocks via Berkshire Hathaway Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRA#NYSE">BRA</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) subsidiary New England Asset Management.
What Happened: In 1998, Berkshire Hathaway acquired General Re Corp., which in turn owned New England Asset Management (NEAM).
Therefore, NEAM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. While Buffett doesn&#8217;t directly oversee NEAM&#8217;s investment decisions, the portfolio managed by NEAM is considered part of Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s overall holdings.
Thus, according to its 13F filings, NEAM holds at least nine stocks that have a dividend yield ranging from 5% to 10.5%.
While most of these nine stocks constitute less than 1% of NEAM&#8217;s 122 holdings as of the end of the first quarter of 2025, only Kraft Heinz Co. is common between Berkshire and NEAM&#8217;s portfolio.

Warren Buffett's Quiet Dividend Play: 9 High-Yield Stocks Held By A Berkshire Subsidiary

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.

Del Monte Foods Files Chapter 11 Bankruptcy: Here's Why The Canned Foods Maker Struggled While Its Rivals Are Going Strong

The most oversold stocks in the consumer staples sector presents an opportunity to buy into undervalued companies.
The RSI is a momentum indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down. When compared to a stock&#8217;s price action, it can give traders a better sense of how a stock may perform in the short term. An asset is typically considered oversold when the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/rsi">RSI is below 30</a>, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Here's the latest list of major oversold players in this sector, having an RSI near or below 30.

Top 3 Risk Off Stocks That Could Blast Off This Month

The Campbell's's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NYSE">CPB</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.01% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 19.10 million shares sold short, which is 9.91% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.93 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for The Campbell's has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing The Campbell's's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, The Campbell's's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.99%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around The Campbell's?

In the current session, The Campbell's Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) is trading at $34.26, after a 0.03% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 3.45%, and in the past year, by 20.62%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749585644_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing The Campbell's P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 29.98 in the Food Products industry, The Campbell's Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 22.85. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749585644_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

The Aluminium Association of Canada (AAC) has condemned the U.S. government's move to impose a 50% tariff on Canadian <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aluminum" rel="noreferrer noopener">aluminum</a>, calling it a protectionist misfire that risks destabilizing North America's integrated manufacturing base and driving higher inflation across key sectors.
"A 50% tariff on Canadian aluminum will suppress demand across the continent — whether the metal is produced in Canada or the U.S.," Jean Simard, AAC's president and CEO, <a target="_blank" href="https://aluminium.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/AAC_PRESS-RELEASE_US-Tariffs_50_June-3-2025_FINAL.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in a press release.
"It will impact workers on both sides of the border and disrupt key sectors including defense, construction, and automotive," he stated.
The tariff, enacted last Wednesday following an executive order from President Donald Trump, effectively prices Canadian exports out of the U.S. market at $1,349.50 per metric ton. Simard warned that the move may force Canadian producers to reorient trade toward the European Union and away from their most critical industrial partner.
Food packaging is among the industries most exposed to these tariffs, as large companies such as Campbell Soup (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) and Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) heavily rely on aluminum for their products.
The domestic Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) also responded to Trump's decision, pointing out how aluminum and tinplate steel tariffs would hurt American families.
"Doubling the steel tariff will further increase the cost of canned goods at the grocery store," CMI president Robert Budway <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cancentral.com/can-manufacturers-institute-opposes-president-trumps-doubling-of-steel-tariffs/" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> on May 30. "These metal tariffs put our nation's food security at risk."
Nine domestic mill production lines have closed since the original 2018 tariffs on tin mill steel, leaving only three operational facilities. Thus, the domestic industry relies on roughly 80% of tin mill steel imports and a significant portion of aluminum.
Canada annually ships 2.7 million metric tons of aluminum to the U.S., much of which is transformed into beverage cans, canned food containers, and consumer packaging.
That raw material supports over 700,000 American manufacturing jobs, while Canada's aluminum sector directly employs 9,500 workers. Combined, the binational aluminum value chain contributes more than $228 billion annually to the U.S. economy.
Thanks to its abundant hydropower, Canada produces low-carbon aluminum at a cost and emissions profile that is far below that of many of its global competitors. That energy benefit is enormous — equivalent to 40 million megawatt-hours per year, or the annual output of four Hoover Dams.
Simrad noted that the Canadian industry supports the U.S. goal of increasing domestic aluminum production capacity from 50% to 80% of national demand, but added that tariffs undermine the investment certainty needed to build that capacity.
"Even if U.S. output doubles, it will still be a net importer," he said.
Instead, the AAC and CMI urge the U.S. to target the real threat: subsidized overcapacity from China. Canada already leads the world in aluminum traceability and anti-dumping enforcement. "Canadian aluminum is not — and will not be — a backdoor for unfair trade," Simard stated. "Undermining a trusted partner only weakens the foundation we both stand on."

US Aluminum Tariffs Risk Supply Chain And Food Security, Industry Insiders Warn

RBC Capital Markets analyst Nik Modi slashed the price forecast for The Campbell&#8217;s Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) from $44 to $38 while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CPB/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintaining a Sector Perform rating</a>.
What Happened: The canned soup company reported third-quarter sales of $2.475 billion. It beat the consensus estimate of $2.43 billion, while the adjusted EPS of 73 cents <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the consensus estimate of 66 </a>cents.
Campbell&#8217;s now expects adjusted EPS to be at the low end of the guided range of $2.95 – $3.05. Compare that to the consensus estimate of $2.98 owing to the slower-than-anticipated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recovery in the Snacks business.</a>
Assuming current tariffs hold steady, the company estimates that the net incremental headwind on adjusted EPS could be up to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 3 cents to 5 cents per share</a>.
Modi says that despite beating quarterly EBIT and EPS estimates, management now projects lighter full-year profitability. The company&#8217;s snacks segment did not recover and estimates could drop further if <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">tariffs remain in place</a>.
As for what&#8217;s more expensive:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Canadian soup</li>
<li>Tinplate and aluminum, and </li>
<li>Rao&#8217;s finished goods and raw materials from Italy.</li>
</ul>
Taking about key positives, the analyst notes that management cited that softening consumer sentiment is driving a preference for home-cooked meals and ingredients that stretch tight food budgets.
These factors significantly boosted Meals &amp; Beverages (M&amp;B), especially for condensed cooking soups, broth, and Italian sauces, adds the analyst.
Nevertheless, Modi writes that while shifting consumer sentiment aided the M&amp;B segment, it pressured CPB&#8217;s discretionary Snacks categories, leading to a 3% consumption decline in the division.
The analyst maintained the FY25 organic growth estimate to be just below the midpoint of guidance at -1.2% while reducing the EBIT growth estimate to +1.4% (from +3.2%) and EPS growth to -5.6% (from -3.6%).
The estimates revision reflects the analyst&#8217;s assumptions that tariffs will remain in effect throughout the quarter.
The analyst says that their FY26 numbers are also recalibrated lower, anticipating continued profitability pressure into next year.
Also, Bank of America Securities analyst Peter Galbo maintained an Underperform rating and cut the price forecast from $37 to $33.
The analyst adjusted FY25 estimates downward to reflect softer trends in the Snacks division (expected to have an extended recovery into FY26), a roughly 3-point headwind for M&amp;B in the fourth quarter due to shipment timing, and a four-cents-per-share impact from tariffs in the fourth quarter.
The analyst adds that Campbell&#8217;s has strong snacking brands, but the category struggles with finding optimal value price points.
Galbo says that this challenge exists because snacking, being a more discretionary purchase, needs to feel &#8220;worth it&#8221; to consumers.
Acknowledging the volatile tariff environment, the analyst slashed the FY25 adjusted EPS estimate to $2.91 (from $2.98). This reflects a weaker-than-anticipated exit rate into FY26.
Also, the analyst reduced the FY26 adjusted EPS estimate to $2.65 (from $3.00). That&#8217;s assuming a similar per-share impact from tariffs through the first three-quarters of FY26.
Apart from this, these analysts also made <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/06/45746840/campbells-analysts-slash-their-forecasts-after-q3-earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">changes to their price forecast:</a>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Barclays analyst Andrew Lazar maintained an Underweight rating and lowered the price forecast from $40 to $35.</li>
<li>Morgan Stanley analyst Megan Alexander maintained an Equal-Weight rating and trimmed the price forecast from $40 to $35.</li>
<li>Citigroup analyst Thomas Palmer maintained a Sell rating and lowered the price forecast from $33 to $32.</li>
</ul>
Price Action: CPB shares are down 0.76% at $33.99 at the last check Tuesday.

Evercore ISI Group Maintains In-Line on The Campbell's, Lowers Price Target to $39

The Campbell's Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) posted better-than-expected third-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/cpb/earnings">results on Monday</a>.
The company reported third-quarter sales growth of 4% year over year (Y/Y) to $2.475 billion, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $2.43 billion. Adjusted EPS of $0.73 beat the consensus estimate of $0.66.
For FY25, Campbell reiterated net sales growth of 6% to 8%&nbsp; and adjusted EBIT growth of 3% to 5%. The company reaffirmed adjusted EPS guidance of $2.95 – $3.05 vs. the consensus estimate of $2.98.
Excluding the impact of tariffs, the company now expects adjusted EBIT and adjusted EPS to be at the low end of the guided range owing to the slower-than-anticipated recovery in the Snacks business. Assuming current tariffs hold steady, the company estimates that the net incremental headwind on adjusted EPS could be up to $0.03 to $0.05 per share.
Mick Beekhuizen, Campbell&#8217;s President and CEO said, &#8220;We delivered solid third quarter results that exceeded our expectations partially due to favorable shipment timing. In Meals &amp; Beverages, we are seeing improved consumption across all consumer income groups. Consumers are cooking at home at the highest levels since early 2020 and turning to our brands for value, quality, and convenience. Within Snacks, performance was mixed across the portfolio, and while we&#8217;re benefiting from some strong innovation launches, we are adjusting our plans to make sure we&#8217;re competitive across our full brand portfolio. Our overall performance reflects our strong execution and disciplined cost management in what remains a dynamic operating environment. We continue to evolve our organization and capabilities to better leverage our scale for growth and drive long-term value creation.&#8221;
Campbell's shares fell 1.9% to trade at $33.61 on Tuesday.
