Campbell’s has the brand portfolio needed to stage a successful turnaround. 10 stocks we like better than Campbell's › In November 2024, Campbell's (NASDAQ: CPB) changed its official name from Campbell Soup Company to The Campbell's Company. The move was an effort to blend its 155-year history with an expanded portfolio that goes far beyond its flagship soup line, with brands like Goldfish, Pepperidge Farm, Cape Cod, Kettle, Rao's pasta sauce, Prego, and more. Despite being a broader business, Campbell's market capitalization is now less than $7 billion -- making it one of the three smallest S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) components and putting the company at risk of being kicked out of the iconic index.

A snack slowdown Campbell's fell 7.1% on March 11 in response to weak second-quarter fiscal 2026 results and reduced full-year guidance. The snacks segment is largely to blame for the guidance cut, as sales declined 6% compared to a 4% drop for meals and beverages. But snacks produced just $67 million in quarterly operating earnings on $914 million in revenue (a 7.3% operating margin) compared to $252 million in meals and beverages operating earnings on $1.65 billion in revenue (a 15.3% operating margin). The company is paying the price for its woeful 2018 acquisition of Snyder's-Lance, as snacks are currently the worst-performing part of the business.

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said he was “pretty surprised” by the US-Israel war on Iran , adding that he did not see any “rationality” in the military campaign. Prabowo , a retired general who now heads the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, said in an interview that Iran recently told him they were wary of entering into negotiations with the US to stop the war because they felt “basically they have been tricked” twice. In an asymmetrical war, he added, “they really just have to survive”. “We are all confused,” Prabowo, 74, said of the war. “And I’m saddened. I don’t feel there’s any rationality in this.” Advertisement Prabowo, who has offered himself as a mediator, has faced criticism within Indonesia for joining US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace”. The Indonesian leader said a plan to send peacekeeping troops to Gaza was now on hold. “Every policy will have pros and cons,” Prabowo said on Saturday, referring to the board. “If we are inside BOP, we can still influence and work towards a lasting solution, which in our view is an independent Palestine – a two-state solution,” he added. Advertisement Prabowo also questioned whether the US strategy of bombing Iran would be able to lead to regime change. “It’s very difficult to conduct these operations just purely from the air,” he said, adding it would take “indiscriminate bombing” to achieve their goals.

Guido Mieth/DigitalVision via Getty Images Since I made the decision to upgrade shares of First Commonwealth Financial Corporation ( FCF ) from a ‘hold’ to a ‘buy’ in December of last year, the stock has drifted slightly lower. It's trading 1.3% below what it was at that moment. The good news is that this has resulted in it outperforming the S&P 500, which is down 2.9% as of this writing. And considering that I view a ‘buy’ candidate as one that should outperform the market for the foreseeable future, I would say that things are going decently enough. From a purely fundamental standpoint, the picture for the business is quite solid. Margins are expanding, and the balance sheet continues to grow. Asset quality is robust. And moving forward, there is a real opportunity for continued improvement, absent any major external shocks. This is not to say that everything is going great. Shares of the business are a bit more expensive than I would typically like them to be. But on the whole, this is an attractive prospect for bank-oriented investors. The Key Components to Success Are There Author - SEC EDGAR Data The first thing that I noticed when revisiting First Commonwealth Financial Corporation is the fact that margins are moving up nicely. For the latest quarter, which is the final quarter of the 2025 fiscal year, net interest margin came in at 3.98%. That's well above the 3.54% that the company reported a year earlier. And for the year as a whole, the 3.84% reading that the company achieved exceeded the 3.55% reported the year before that. Author - SEC EDGAR Data This is fantastic to see because, as the chart above illustrates, it has a big positive impact on net interest income for the institution. That has grown year over year for the final quarter and for 2025 in its entirety compared to 2024. I wish that I could say that non-interest income had risen, but it did ultimately dip a bit. Still, this improvement in net interest income was instrumental in pushing net prof...
Jadon Sancho will be absent when Manchester United take on Aston Villa in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday. That is no surprise.

Jadon Sancho will be absent when Manchester United take on Aston Villa in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday. That is no surprise. Premier League rules prevent loan players appearing against their parent club, so Sancho is not allowed to be part of Unai Emery's squad for the trip to the north-west. Yet, in another sense, it just extends a sequence neither Sancho nor United can look back on with any fondness. Not playing at Old Trafford has been a common occurrence for a player who joined United on a five-year contract in 2021. "A dream come true" was how Sancho described his move from Borussia Dortmund at the time. The reality has turned out to be anything but. The last time Sancho played at Old Trafford was on 26 August 2023, when he came on as a second-half substitute in a comeback victory against Nottingham Forest. In total, he has made 30 Premier League appearances at Old Trafford. He completed the full 90 minutes on only 10 occasions. Aside from one seven-minute substitute appearance in the 2024 Community Shield, Sancho will spend the last two and a half years of his time at United playing elsewhere - Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea and now Villa. No wonder minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe was aghast to learn how much of Sancho's fee United still had to pay, as he told BBC Sport in March 2025: "Sancho now plays for Chelsea and we pay half his wages. We're paying £17m to buy him in the summer." Looking back, there are four key moments in Sancho's United story.

The company is paying the price for its woeful 2018 acquisition of Snyder's-Lance, as snacks are currently the worst-performing part of the business. But management expressed confidence in brands such as Cape Cod and Kettle, which are differentiated enough from the competition to win over the long term. The company's meal portfolio remains fairly strong, with Rao's surpassing $1 billion in trailing 12-month sales compared to around $6 billion in total trailing 12-month meals and beverage sales. By far the best aspect of Campbell's business is its brands used in cooking, rather than snacks and meal replacements. On the earnings call, management noted that a little over half of its condensed soup portfolio is growing, especially cooking soups like cream of mushroom and cream of chick...
