Wang & Lee Group board approves 250-to-1 reverse share split
On Monday, Jefferies analysts adjusted their outlook on Campbell Soup stock (NASDAQ: CPB), reducing the price target to $34 from $37 while maintaining a Hold rating. The stock currently trades at $34.21, near its 52-week low, though InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock may be slightly undervalued based on its Fair Value model. The adjustment follows Campbell Soup’s performance in its fiscal third quarter, where the company surpassed expectations partly due to a shipment timing benefit in its Meals & Beverages (M&B) segment and an improvement in Snacks margins.
Despite these positive elements, Campbell Soup’s management indicated a more cautious profit outlook for fiscal 2025, citing challenges in the Snacks segment as a key concern. The company also highlighted the potential impacts of tariffs beginning in the fourth quarter, which may necessitate increased marketing efforts.
Jefferies analysts noted that while the M&B segment showed relative consumption strength, this was more than offset by other challenges, leading to the revised price target. The analysts reiterated their Hold rating, reflecting a balanced view of the company’s current situation.
Campbell Soup’s management is closely monitoring these factors as they navigate the evolving market conditions. The company is considering strategic adjustments to address the anticipated challenges in the upcoming quarters.
