		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview – Week of May 21st It will be a relatively quiet week on the earnings front, as there are only a few reports left before we close the books on the first quarter earnings season. This turned out to be a positive reporting season, with the growth rate, surprises and percentage of beats coming ahead of pre-season expectations. We will get reports from about 100 companies this week, including 17 companies in the S&#38;P 500, which will take the complete tally of S&#38;P 500 results to 495 by the end of the week. The economic calendar this week is on the light side as well, which means that headlines from Europe will likely continue to drive market activity on a day-to-day basis. We will get reports on New ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The global manufacturer and marketer of high-quality foods and simple meals, Campbell Soup Company (CPB), have underlined a series of initiatives to enhance its supply chain efficiency and reduce overhead costs. Under its new restructuring plan, the company will make new investments, outsource and close some operations. Campbell is expected to eliminate a total of approximately 770 positions across the organization by incurring total pre-tax costs of approximately $75.0 million. This represents about 4% of the company&#8217;s global workforce of 18,400. The company is planning to cut jobs by the end of July 2011. These initiatives are expected to generate annual pre-tax savings of approximately $60.0 million in fiscal 2012 and $70.0 million in fiscal 2014. The company has planned to invest approximately $40.0 million over a period of 18-months ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining a long-term &#8216;Neutral&#8217; recommendation on Campbell Soup Company (CPB) with a target price of $35.00 per share. Moreover, the company has a Zacks #3 Rank, implying a short-term &#8216;Hold&#8217; rating on the stock. Campbell Soup is one of the world&#8217;s leading manufacturers of convenience food products. Furthermore, a strong portfolio of well-established brands, including Campbell&#8217;s, Erasco, Liebig, Pepperidge Farm, V8, Pace, Prego, Swanson, and Arnott&#8217;s offer a competitive edge to the company and strengths its well-established position in the market. Moreover, management has been stimulating growth in the U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages business segment through investments in product quality, convenient packaging and introduction of new products. The company has also upgraded its marketing efforts and improved retail execution. These initiatives will facilitate in boosting the company&#8217;s ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks in the Consumer Staples sector have traditionally performed better than the stock market, and especially cyclical companies, during market declines. We are seeing evidence of this at present &#8212; consumer staple stocks have started shining again as concerns about the economy’s growth momentum have taken center stage. The fundamental explanation for this behavior is that food, beverage, household products and cosmetics companies manufacture and market brand name consumable products, most of which are considered essential to daily life, such as food, drink, toothpaste, deodorants, toilet paper, etc. Since product demand is relatively stable, the companies generally report earnings in line with expectations. Beverage companies, however, are able to grow faster at the high single-digit to low double-digit rate given growing penetration rates. But, cosmetics companies can grow earnings a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have downgraded our rating from &#8216;Neutral&#8217; to ‘Underperform’ on Campbell Soup Co. (CPB) as the company recorded yet another weak operating performance in the second quarter of 2011. The company’s earnings per share inched down 4% to  71 cents per share from 74 cents per share in the year-ago period primarily due to contraction in top line and operating margin, resulting from adverse product mix, rising commodity cost and increased advertisement and promotional expenses. We have a target price of $30.00 per share on the stock. The U.S. market continued to remain sluggish throughout the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Despite maintaining strong advertising and promotional support, volumes declined for the company’s products. Moreover, the company’s initiatives to change the product mix and reposition the business in the U.S. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Campbell Soup Co. (CPB) reported fiscal 2011 second-quarter adjusted earnings of 71 cents per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, quarterly earnings fell short of the year-ago results of 74 cents per share. Campbell’s net sales during the quarter declined by 1.0% year over year to $2,127 million, also missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2,150 million. The decline was primarily caused by a 2% spike in promotional spending, partially offset by favorable currency translations of 1%. Segment Analysis Sales at the U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages division fell 4% year over year as sales of condensed, ready-to-serve soups and beverage sales declined 7%, 4% and 1%, respectively. However, the decrease in segment sales was partially countered by a 7% growth in broth. Campbell’s Baking and Snacking ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks fell for a second consecutive week as persistent worries about the economy continued to weigh on investor sentiments. Concerned that the economy would slide back into recession, investors chose to stay away from stocks and flew to the safety of government debt. The Dow industrials and the Standard &#38; Poor’s 500-stock index dropped on Friday but the Nasdaq managed to pull off a tepid advance. Absence of catalysts further eroded volume on Friday, which already has fallen to a record low this month. The Dow average fell 57 points, or nearly 0.6%, to close at 10213. The S&#38;P 500 index dropped 0.4% to 1072. The Dow average has re-entered the negative territory for the year.

		<description><![CDATA[I spent most of this week at the 2010 CFA Institute Annual Conference, attending several great presentations and panels. Many of the topics centered around strategy, though the regulatory environment and Europe came up frequently during Q&#38;A sessions. In terms of strategies for dealing with the uncertainty, valuation and diversification were stressed constantly. Seth Klarman, president of the Baupost Group and author of the book &#8220;Margin of Safety,&#8221; opined that &#8220;price is an essential determinant of valuations&#8221; and emphasized that buyers should be focused on their entry points. Jeremy Grantham, co-founder of investment firm GMO and known for calling market bubbles, suggested altering portfolio allocations as the risk environment changes. (John Bogle, founder of mutual fund giant Vanguard, said later in the conference that his personal bond allocation is equivalent ]]></description>
