While soup is a staple, investors may be wise to take a deep look at this stock. The stock is down, but sales have continued to grow. This fiscal year will see growth of around 1% and is looking for 1.5% for next year. Analysts are expecting EPS growth of 2% this fiscal year and 4% next fiscal year. Those growth numbers are below the industry average, but that could bring activists into this name.
