Factors to Consider

The company’s brand strength and pricing actions are aiding growth. Campbell Soup benefits from strength in the Snacks business and a focus on innovation. On its last earnings call, management highlighted that it recently announced the new Kettle Brand air-fried potato chips and was impressed with the initial customer and consumer response to the launch. These upsides bode well for the quarter under review.

However, cost inflation is a concern. On its last earnings call, management highlighted that it expects inflation in the low teens for fiscal 2023. Elevated marketing and selling expenses have also been a downside. Nonetheless, the company’s saving and pricing actions augur well.
