Near Six-Year Lows, Campbell's Still Isn't Particularly Appetizing
Mar. 22, 2025
Summary
Campbell's has struggled to grow its revenues or net income for decades now.
Shares are once again trading at a low valuation, but the market's skepticism is understandable.
I'm not impressed with the company's capital allocation track record.
Campbell's stock looks cheap and probably outperforms the market if a recession hits, but I'm not too upbeat longer term.
Packaged foods company Campbell's (NASDAQ:CPB) delivered a mixed earnings a couple of weeks ago. Shares briefly bounced on the results but have since slumped once again and are now just a hair above multi-year lows.

Kraft Heinz considering split to unlock value - Wall Street Journal
Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) is reportedly breaking into two units to address sluggish sales in its processed foods division and unlock value as separate businesses.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) is planning to split off its grocery business into an entity valued at ~$20B, and its sauces and spreads business into another. Although the board has not finalized a separation strategy, and continues to consider other options, sources cited by WSJ say a transaction could be finalized in the coming weeks.
In May, CEO Carlos Abrams-Rivera confirmed the company was considering “potential strategic transactions,” and Berkshire Hathaway would no longer hold board seats “consistent with its other non-controlled investments.” After a modest gain on the news, Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) shares continued to lose ground, ending up at a 5-year low at the end of June.
The two entities were joined together in 2015 as part of a deal between Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B) and Brazilian private-equity firm 3G Capital Partners. As part of the deal, Heinz shareholders would own 51% of the combined company, while Kraft Foods shareholders would own 49% and receive a special dividend of $16.50 per share.
At the time, the combined company was expected to have revenue of around $28B thanks to the popularity of brands like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, Heinz Ketchup, and Maxwell House Coffee. However, according to the company’s most recent Q4 results, Kraft Heinz (KHC) reported 2024 sales of $25.85B, down 3% from a year ago, and expected to drop another 3.4% in 2025, weighed down by lackluster sales in processed foods and Maxwell House Coffee.

In an attempt to refine its portfolio, the company recently sold off its Italian infant and specialty businesses, the majority of its nuts business to Hormel (HRL), and its natural cheese business to Groupe Lactalis.

The news launched shares of Kraft Heinz to a near two-month high

Citi warns that Kraft Heinz may disappoint with its earnings report
Apr. 04, 2025 10:50 AM


Citi downgraded Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) to a Sell rating as the firm took a cautious view of the upcoming Q1 earnings report. Analyst Thomas Palmer pointed to risks that the food company's organic sales growth will fall below the consensus estimate for the quarter.

"KHC’s measured takeaway growth continues to struggle, driven by share losses. And other channels and geographies, could face sales pressure, as well," warned Palmer.

Palmer and his team also expressed concern about worsening food service trends and warned that Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) might eventually need to reset its margin structure lower to drive volume.

Citi lowered its price target on Kraft Heinz (KHC) to $27 from $28 to account for the lower earnings outlook

Shares of Kraft Heinz (KHC) are up slightly for the week as the packaged food sector has attracted attention from investors as a defensive play. The dividend yield for new buyers of the stock is 5.2%.

"Dividend Yield as of March 3: 5.12%

"The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:KHC) is an Illinois-based multinational food company. It has faced challenges in establishing a strong position in recent years, relying on cost-cutting measures to boost net income. While this strategy has yielded short-term gains—such as a nearly 21% increase in net income in 2023—earnings declined in 2024. However, sustained profit growth becomes difficult without meaningful revenue expansion. As a result, the company may not appear particularly attractive to investors at the moment.

"Kraft Heinz (NasdaqGS:KHC) Launches 77-Calorie Crystal Light Vodka Refreshers For US$10.
KHC

Kraft Heinz saw its share price rise by 3.8% last month, a period marked by the launch of their Crystal Light Vodka Refreshers, a move aligned with consumer preferences for lower-calorie alcoholic beverages. This product introduction underscores Kraft Heinz's focus on tapping into the expanding market for hard seltzers, which could amplify investor interest. Concurrently, the company's full-year earnings report highlighted a significant increase in net income despite a drop in sales, which might have reassured investors regarding its profitability. Meanwhile, the broader market, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average, experienced volatility amidst tariff discussions and fluctuating economic data, but Kraft Heinz's price gain stood out against a backdrop of a 3.1% market decline. Additionally, their initiative to introduce HEINZ Flavor Tour Condiments reflects a diversification strategy that may be positively influencing investor perception.
Over the past five years, Kraft Heinz has delivered a total shareholder return of 58.76%, highlighting its relatively strong performance. Notably, the company completed significant share buybacks, repurchasing 32.07 million shares amounting to US$1.10 billion, which likely buoyed the stock's value. Additionally, efforts to tap into renewable energy with initiatives like the renewable green hydrogen agreement reflect a commitment to sustainability, which can enhance investor confidence.

Amerikaanse voedingsmiddelenbedrijven gaan op dealjacht nu de pandemische groei afneemt
Amerikaanse bedrijven in verpakte voedingsmiddelen zijn op weg naar een stortvloed van deals in een poging om hun merkenportfolio's te vernieuwen nu hun fortuin uit het pandemie-tijdperk afneemt en de voordelen van prijsverhogingen beginnen te verminderen.
Vorige maand sloot Campbell Soup een deal van $2,7 miljard voor Rao's sausmaker Sovos Brands. Unilever kocht Yasso, een diepvriesyoghurtmerk in Noord-Amerika, terwijl Snickers-maker Mars de maker van gezonde voeding Kevin's Natural Foods overnam.
"Er is een mooie opleving geweest in M&A (fusies en overnames) in de voedingsmiddelenindustrie in de eerste helft van het jaar," zei Michael Milani, uitvoerend managing director en principal bij adviesbureau Baker Tilly.
"Het is een groot thema geweest, en we verwachten dat dit in de tweede helft van 2023 en begin 2024 zal aanhouden."
Dit ondanks hogere financieringskosten die bedrijven die op zoek zijn naar overnames onder druk zetten.
De waarde van de deals in de Amerikaanse voedingsmiddelen- en drankenindustrie daalde dit jaar met bijna 3% tot ongeveer $10,39 miljard, volgens gegevens van LSEG. Maar de volumes stegen met 17,5% tot 248 per 1 september, waardoor de sector een lichtpuntje is op het gebied van deals.
Het totale aantal deals in alle industriële sectoren daalde in dezelfde periode met 4%, zo bleek uit de gegevens. "Grote voedingsbedrijven moeten meer nieuwe concepten, nieuwe smaakprofielen en nieuwe voedingsmiddelen toevoegen omdat hun oude merken - hoewel ze nog steeds groeien - niet op een zinvolle manier groeien," zei Milani.
De stijging van het aantal deals komt doordat het verkoopvolume bij bedrijven als Kraft Heinz en Campbell de afgelopen zes kwartalen is gedaald als gevolg van een zwakke vraag, terwijl ook de voordelen van prijsverhogingen afnemen.
"Ik verwacht dat het aantal fusies en overnames zal blijven toenemen," zei Sarah Henry, managing director en portefeuillebeheerder bij Logan Capital Management, dat aandelen heeft in PepsiCo en Mondelez International.
Bedrijven in verpakte voedingsmiddelen "worden nu geconfronteerd met een aantal moeilijke vergelijkingen op het gebied van organische (omzet) en zijn op zoek naar enkele strategische, categorie-specifieke M&A-doelwitten die hen door de komende jaren zullen loodsen," zei Henry.
Cheerios graanproducent General Mills heeft fusies en overnames aangemerkt als een belangrijk doel voor de komende jaren, waarbij leidinggevenden zeggen dat het op dit moment een "goed klimaat voor fusies en overnames" is.
Voor Mondelez zijn bolt-on overnames de manier om te gaan, zei Luca Zaramella, financieel directeur van de Oreo-maker, onlangs op een Barclays-conferentie.
Vorige maand meldde Reuters dat Twinkies-snackgebakmaker Hostess Brands een verkoop aan het onderzoeken was en dat Mondelez en Hershey mogelijk in de race waren om het te kopen.
Analisten van J.P. Morgan zeiden dat ze een oogje zouden kunnen hebben op Hostess om buiten Noord-Amerika uit te breiden.
"De meeste grote bedrijven in verpakte voedingsmiddelen hebben ... ijverig hun schulden verminderd en hun balans verbeterd (door de pandemie) ... dus ze hebben de risicocapaciteit en risicobereidheid om grootschalige overnames na te streven," zei analist Arun Sundaram van CFRA Research.
"Deze bedrijven in verpakte voedingsmiddelen moeten manieren blijven vinden om relevant te blijven ... En een van de gemakkelijkste manieren om dat te doen is door middel van fusies en overnames."

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) Campbell Soup heeft een bod gedaan op Sovos Brands ter waarde van ongeveer 2,7 miljard dollar. Dit maakten beide bedrijven maandagmiddag bekend.
Campell Soup wil 23,00 dollar per aandeel in contanten betalen en verwacht ongeveer 50 miljoen dollar aan synergievoordelen te realiseren.
Met deze strategische overname wil het bedrijf de divisie Campbell's Meals & Beverages verder diversifiëren. Sovos Brands is vooral bekend van Rao’s pastasaus, maar ook van merken zoals Michael Angelo’s en Noosa.
De transactie zal naar verwachting na twee jaar bijdragen aan de aangepaste winst per aandeel, exclusief eenmalige integratiekosten en kosten om de synergieën te realiseren.
Campbell is van plan de overnameprijs te financieren door middel van de uitgifte van nieuwe leningen.
De transactie moet nog worden goedgekeurd door de aandeelhouders van Sovos Brands. Ook moeten de toezichthouders groen licht geven.
Campbell Soup denkt de transactie voor het jaareinde te kunnen afronden.
Het aandeel Sovos Brands sloot vrijdag op 18,02 dollar en lijkt bij opening 25 procent te stijgen. Het aandeel van Campbell lijkt bijna 2 procent lager te openen.
