Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Campbell Soup Company stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Campbell Soup has lagged the broader industry in the last three months. The company is bearing the brunt of a tough macroeconomic scenario in the food industry, with soft consumption patterns. This, along with intense competition from e-commerce giants dented top-line in the third quarter. Also, continued softness in C-Fresh due to lingering constraints from the Bolthouse Farms product recall remains a concern. These factors led to a tweaked sales view for the fiscal. Estimates have been stable ahead of the fourth quarter earnings release. However, the company is on track with its strategic growth initiatives, through its focus on acquisitions aimed at strengthening its brand portfolio. Its strategy of concentrating on supply chain efficiencies, along with cutting costs is likely to drive growth. Campbell has generated solid results from its three-year cost savings program. This led management to raise the lower end of its EPS and EBIT views." (7/19/2017)
• 2. Credit Suisse Group analysts commented, "With Model 3 rollout nearing, we assess how it will impact the company’s Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) and ambitions around machine learning. We believe Model 3 is critical to TSLA’s ADAS position for two reasons. First, TSLA’s ability to accelerate learning cycles related to characterizing driving behavior is facilitated by high volume rollout of Model 3, but the ability to process that data and create driving applications appears nascent and the challenge is extensive. Second, we believe leveraging consumer balance sheets for its technology development is an underappreciated aspect of the business." (5/24/2017)
• 3. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "Campbell reported 2Q17 EPS of $0.91 which was up $0.04 (5%) versus the prior year which outpaced our consensus matching estimate by $0.04. The outperformance was driven by a lower tax rate ($0.05) and underlying sales remain weak with declines in each segment. With a lower tax rate and heavier savings for the year ($85 million now), the company maintained EPS guidance for the year. These tailwinds offset weaker trends at C-Fresh and softer sales growth overall. We continue with our Hold rating." (2/21/2017)
• 4. Royal Bank Of Canada analysts commented, "We are increasing our estimates and price target ahead of fiscal 2Q17 earnings to reflect a bounce-back in Chunky soup sales (up 12%) after last year's merchandising execution issues. This has led to the sequential improvement in the company's overall US sales despite a meaningful pull-back in promotional activity, which suggests gross margin upside this quarter. Given improving trends, we would not be surprised to see a step up in EPS guidance on Friday." (2/15/2017)
