Campbell Soup stock (Campbell Soup Company, ISIN US1280301048) was last at USD 19.37 on Nasdaq on September 25, 2026, down 2.42 percent from the prior close of USD 19.85. The pressure follows fiscal 2026 results and a weaker outlook for the packaged-food maker.

Fiscal 2027 guidance cuts the bar

According to The Campbell's Company on September 3, 2026, fiscal 2027 guidance calls for net sales to decline 4 percent to 2 percent and adjusted EPS of USD 1.65 to USD 1.80. The company also set a cost-savings target of USD 500 million through fiscal 2030.

The guidance follows a difficult fiscal fourth quarter ended August 2, 2026. Net sales fell 8 percent to USD 2.137 billion, while adjusted EPS declined 37 percent year over year to USD 0.39 from USD 0.62, according to The Campbell's Company.

Snacks remain the central test

The segment split explains why the outlook matters. Fiscal fourth-quarter Snacks sales fell 12 percent to USD 950 million, and segment operating earnings dropped 34 percent to USD 101 million. Meals and Beverages sales fell 4 percent to USD 1.187 billion, while operating earnings declined 12 percent to USD 181 million, the company reported on September 3, 2026.

For the full fiscal year ended August 2, 2026, net sales fell 5 percent to USD 9.744 billion from USD 10.253 billion. Adjusted EBIT declined 21 percent to USD 1.181 billion, while adjusted EPS fell 27 percent to USD 2.17, putting the valuation debate on cash generation and margin repair.

Analyst target stays near the market

As Yahoo Finance reported on September 4, 2026, Jefferies cut its Campbell Soup price target to USD 20.00 from USD 22.00 and retained a Hold rating. The new target lies 3.25 percent above the September 25 price, leaving the forecast close to the current market level.

The next scheduled checkpoint is December 9, 2026, when Campbell Soup is listed to report first-quarter fiscal 2027 results, according to Investing.com. The key measure will be whether Snacks volume improves enough to offset inflation and the lower earnings range.
