Campbell Soup Company, listed as NASDAQ:CPB, is a well-known American food company famous for its canned soups, Pepperidge Farm cookies, and V8 juice. As CPB prepares to release its quarterly earnings on December 9, 2025, Wall Street anticipates earnings per share (EPS) of $0.73 and revenue of approximately $2.66 billion.
CPB has a history of surpassing earnings estimates, with an average earnings surprise of 10.54% over the past two quarters. In the most recent quarter, CPB reported an EPS of $0.62, exceeding the expected $0.57, marking an 8.77% surprise. The previous quarter saw a 12.31% surprise, with an EPS of $0.73 against a $0.65 estimate.
Despite this strong track record, analysts from Zacks Investment Research predict a decline in earnings for the quarter ending October 2025, attributed to lower revenues. The anticipated EPS of $0.73 represents an 18% decline from the same period last year, while the projected revenue of $2.66 billion indicates a 4.1% year-over-year decrease.
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised downward by 0.5% over the past month, reflecting analysts' reassessment of their initial projections. This adjustment is crucial for predicting potential investor reactions, as trends in earnings estimate revisions often correlate with short-term stock price performance.
CPB's financial metrics include a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 14.51 and a price-to-sales ratio of 0.85. The enterprise value to sales ratio is 1.54, and the enterprise value to operating cash flow ratio is 13.84. The company's debt-to-equity ratio is 1.85, and the current ratio is 0.77, indicating its ability to cover short-term liabilities.
