Campbell Soup Company Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Campbell Soup has been benefiting from its growing Snacks business. This business has been tapping incremental sales, backed by strength in power snacks brands and higher innovation. The segment formed 43.5% of the company’s top line in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, with sales of power brands up 21%. Inflation-driven pricing and sales allowances were drivers. The continuation of these upsides bodes well for the quarter under review.
Campbell Soup has been struggling with cost inflation for a while. On its last earnings call, management highlighted that it expects to keep witnessing cost inflation throughout fiscal 2023. That said, the company has been undertaking pricing actions, among other efforts, to mitigate the impact of inflation.
Campbell Soup has also been progressing well with its cost-savings plan. Management is on track to deliver savings worth $1 billion by the fiscal 2025-end. These factors, along with Campbell Soup’s prudent investment and strategic efforts toward product innovation and brand building, bode well for the quarter under review.
