Read MoreHide Full Article

Campbell Soup Company (CPB - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise nearly 6% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $36.73 to $39.25 in the past one-month time frame.

The move came after the company reported better-than-expected first-quarter fiscal 2019 results (ended Oct 28, 2018).

The company has seen one negative estimate revision in the past few weeks, while its Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter has also moved lower over the past few weeks, suggesting there may be trouble down the road.
