Campbell’s (CPB) Stock Hits 52‑Week Lows After Q1 2026 Earnings and Fitch Downgrade – Is the 5.5% Dividend Worth the Risk?
Campbell’s shares hit a new 52-week low of $28.13 on December 10, dropping further after a post-earnings slide. Fitch downgraded the company’s credit rating to BBB- with a Stable outlook, citing high leverage and weak trends. Q1 fiscal 2026 results showed sales down 3% and adjusted EPS down 13%, but both slightly beat analyst estimates. Margins fell as tariffs and inflation drove costs higher.
