Campbell Soup stock (ISIN US1344291091) was last at USD 19.00 on Nasdaq on October 6, 2026, down 1.55 percent for the session. The latest fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 figures point to a tougher operating year ahead, with management guidance below the consensus cited by Yahoo Finance.

Sales decline in fiscal Q4

According to Yahoo Finance on October 5, 2026, fiscal fourth-quarter net sales fell 8 percent to USD 2.1 billion, below the USD 2.15 billion analyst consensus. Adjusted net income fell 25 percent to USD 242 million, while adjusted EPS of USD 0.39 matched expectations.

The comparison is important because the earnings result held at consensus while revenue missed it. Campbell Soup therefore enters fiscal 2027 with weaker top-line momentum, even before the company works through cost pressure and demand challenges.

Guidance points to another decline

Campbell Soup expects fiscal 2027 net sales to decline 2 percent to 4 percent from fiscal 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. Adjusted EPS guidance is USD 1.65-1.80, compared with the USD 1.90 analyst consensus cited in the report.

The company also reset its quarterly dividend to USD 0.25 per share from USD 0.39, a 36 percent reduction. That change preserves cash during the adjustment period but removes part of the income appeal that has traditionally supported Campbell Soup shares.

Stock remains near yearly low

Campbell Soup stock was USD 0.10 above its 52-week low of USD 18.90 and USD 18.87 below its 52-week high of USD 37.87 on October 6, 2026. The same quote carried a volume of 14,199,365 shares, while market capitalization stood at USD 5.7 billion.

A consensus overview published by Paasa lists a Hold rating from 29 analysts, with 1 Buy, 17 Hold and 11 Sell ratings. The median target is USD 20.00, while the high and low targets are USD 22.00 and USD 18.00; the consensus target is USD 19.54.

Campbell Soup stock stays under pressure

Campbell Soup stock was last at USD 19.00 on Nasdaq on October 6, 2026. The market picture combines a price close to the yearly low with fiscal 2027 guidance that is below consensus, making the next sales trend and adjusted earnings delivery central to the valuation.
