Today's conference is being recorded.
The Campbell's Company's Q3 earnings beat estimates, but weak guidance and ongoing debt concerns keep me cautious despite shares trading below my prior target. The Rao's acquisition adds growth potential, yet high leverage and slow EBITDA growth mean capital returns beyond dividends are years away. Snacking division underperforms with market share losses and margin pressure, offsetting relative strength in meals, beverages, and soup segments.
Campbell's (CPB) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.73 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.65 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.75 per share a year ago.
The Campbell's Company (CPB) on Monday reported fiscal third-quarter results that topped estimates, but warned that its full-year profit would likely come in at the low end of its previous forecast.

Campbell (CPB) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.
CPB's third-quarter results are likely to show strength in Meals & Beverages segment, while weakness in Snacks segment raises concerns.
The Campbell's Company's organic growth has turned from slow to negative, accelerated by a slow snacks segment. The surge in GLP-1 drug usage is pressuring industry-wide snack sales. The Q3 report is likely to continue Campbell's worrying organic sales decline. Profitability should gain from cost savings, but benefits are offset by weak pricing and cost inflation. Based on lower estimates, CPB's fair value is approximately $44.9. The fair value estimate comes with a profitability caveat, though.
Campbell (CPB) has an impressive earnings surprise history and currently possesses the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely beat in its next quarterly report.
