Campbell's Q3 Sales Drop 4% on Volume Weakness, Adjusted EPS Plunges 32%
CPB is trading near its 52-week low of $19.555 (14% above the low).
Summary
Campbell's reported a 4% drop in Q3 net sales, primarily due to volume weakness in its Meals & Beverages and Snacks segments. This operational decline contributed to a significant 32% plunge in adjusted EPS, despite the company's adjusted earnings of $0.50 per share narrowly beating analyst estimates. The results reflect ongoing challenges from cost inflation and tariffs impacting gross profit. Despite the sales and actual EPS decline, Campbell's reaffirmed its full-year fiscal 2026 guidance.
