Campbell Soup Shares Dip as $210M Trade Volume Ranks 450th Amid Earnings Downturn

On August 28, 2025, Campbell Soup Company (CPB) shares declined 1.40% with a trading volume of $0.21 billion, ranking 450th in market activity. Analysts anticipate the company’s Q4 earnings report on September 3 will show a 9.5% year-over-year drop in earnings per share to $0.57, though revenue is forecasted to rise 1.8% to $2.33 billion. The downward revision in earnings estimates over the past 30 days highlights shifting investor sentiment.

Business performance remains mixed. The Meals & Beverages segment is projected to grow 2.2% in net sales to $1.23 billion, driven by the integration of Sovos Brands and brands like Rao’s and Prego. However, the Snacks division faces challenges, with analysts expecting a 4.5% organic sales decline due to shifting consumer trends and competitive pressures. Operating earnings for both segments are forecasted to dip slightly, reflecting ongoing cost pressures and inflationary headwinds.

Despite these challenges, Campbell has made progress in cost-savings initiatives, including network optimization and SG&A efficiencies. Management has also flagged rising core inflation in the second half of fiscal 2025, though full-year inflation is expected to remain in the low single digits. The Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) assigned to CPB underscores concerns about near-term underperformance relative to the broader market.
