Dernières nouvelles pour Campbell Soup (NASDAQ:CPB) Stock

Campbell Soup

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 (which closed in March 2024). Around 90% of its revenue results from the US and the remainder from Canada and Latin America.

Piper Sandler analyst Michael S. Lavery upgraded Campbell Soup Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) to Overweight from Neutral, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CPB/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">raising the price forecast from $47 to $56.</a>
The analyst upgraded Campbell Soup due to improved long-term growth prospects from its Rao&#8217;s brand and better sales trends in the U.S. (excluding SOVO brands).
Despite better trends, the stock has had a 15% pullback since mid-September. The analyst sees this as a good buying opportunity.
Lower steel costs (down 25%) and secured contracts for 2025 further support growth.
The analyst raised 2025 and 2026 earnings per share (EPS) estimates slightly, from $3.20 to $3.21 and $3.37 to $3.38, respectively.
Per the analyst, the stock is considered well-positioned among large-cap food stocks.

Campbell Soup has agreed to sell its Noosa yogurt business for an undisclosed amount, with the deal expected to close in first quarter of 2025. The company acquired Noosa as part of its SOVO purchase in March 2024.
The analyst assumes the sale will be finalized on January 1, 2025, with proceeds of around $250 million.
Per the analyst, the divestiture is expected to reduce sales by approximately $177 million annually and will slightly lower F25 earnings per share (EPS) by $0.01.
However, this impact is expected to be more than offset by higher revenue growth expectations.
The analyst raised the 2025 EPS estimates from $3.20 to $3.21 and the 2026 EPS expectations from $3.37 to $3.38.
Price Action: CPB shares are trading higher by 1.16% to $44.79 at last check Thursday.

Campbell Soup Company (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) (Campbell's) today announced that it was awarded $3.4 million in funding through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)'s <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nrcs.usda.gov%2Fprograms-initiatives%2Frcpp-regional-conservation-partnership-program&amp;esheet=54143074&amp;newsitemid=20241028969733&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Regional+Conservation+Partnership+Program&amp;index=1&amp;md5=305f406e5566fef7e3da62c0c0cbef0d">Regional Conservation Partnership Program</a> (RCPP) to support California processing tomatoes.

The project's goal is to reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, while building soil health, supporting water stewardship, and strengthening the profitability and resilience of tomato farms.

Looking into the current session, Campbell Soup Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) shares are trading at $48.48, after a 0.47% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 5.33%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 22.70%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1729260914_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Campbell Soup P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 33.69 in the Food Products industry, Campbell Soup Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 25.77. 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/2024/1729260914_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.
