On Wednesday, Campbell Soup Co. (NYSE:CPB) shares edged slightly higher after reporting its most recent quarterly results. The company announced its fiscal first-quarter results before markets opened, beating analyst expectations on earnings. However, Campbell Soup’s FQ1 revenue failed to match Street expectations.
The company posted FQ1 non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.89, outperforming the consensus for analyst expectations of $0.81. On the other hand, its GAAP EPS of $0.86 exceeded the estimate of $0.81, while revenue for the quarter declined by 4.3% from the same quarter last year to $2.24 billion, missing expectations by $40 million.
Campbell Soup reinstated its full-year 2022 revenue and earnings guidance despite the mixed FQ1 report.
The stock has fallen by nearly 15% this year, making it an intriguing option for investors.
Is Campbell Soup undervalued?
The processed food and snack maker’s shares trade at exciting trailing 12-month and forward P/E ratios of 12.43 and 14.00, respectively, thus making it a compelling option for value investors.
In addition, analysts expect its EPS to grow by nearly 70% this year before rising by a further 6.41% next year.
Therefore, the stock could also gain the attention of growth investors.
