		<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[Stocks in the Consumer Staples sector carried out their traditional defensive role as the broader equity markets came under pressure over concerns about the prolonged weak US economy and the debt crisis in Europe. But the group has been a laggard as momentum returned to the market over the last three months. In 2011, the sector index grew 10.5% versus a flat finish for the S&#38;P 500 index. The group’s defensive attributes stem from its ability to buck sluggish economic growth as food, beverage, household products and cosmetics companies that manufacture and market non-durable consumables are considered essential to daily life, such as food, drink, toothpaste, deodorants, toilet paper, etc. Although staples’ top-line is expected to continue the uptrend of the last few quarters going forward, margins will remain under ]]></description>

(RAH), setting a deadline for the proposal, which was previously rejected by Ralcorp without a dialogue with ConAgra Foods, on August 12, 2011. ConAgra Foods has sent an ultimatum of a week’s time to Ralcorp Holdings for negotiating on its takeover proposal and thereby announced that it would withdraw its $5.2 billion offer for Ralcorp Holdings, unless the maker of Post cereal and store-brand foods enter negotiations by September 19, 2011. Anticipating Ralcorp’s focus on separating business, evident from continuous negotiation refusal, ConAgra sent a presentation to Ralcorp&#8217;s board of directors, emphasizing the value and certainty of the takeover proposal. Since March, Ralcorp has rejected several bids from ConAgra, including turning down ]]></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>

For FY11, EPS was reported at $1.75, up from $1.74 in the previous year. Revenues Net revenues improved 5.3% from the year-earlier quarter to $3,210 million, primarily driven by increased revenues from the Commercial Foods segment.

		<description><![CDATA[Income-oriented investors have yet another reason to be upset with the bond markets. Junk bond yields fell to a record low a few days ago and are staying near those levels. As of Wednesday evening, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield index yielded a mere 6.68%, which isn&#8217;t much when you consider the risk of default. These low yields are just one sign of the bond market&#8217;s cheery mood. Corporations are finding plenty of buyers for their debt, and many offerings have been completed this week. Among the investment-grade companies selling bonds are Google (GOOG), Norfolk Southern (NSC) and Walt Disney (DIS). Included in this week&#8217;s near-record level of junk bond offerings is beleaguered Chrysler, which is refinancing its loan package. Taking advantage of the low interest rates is good ]]></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[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Monday, October 18, 2010 At first glance, the food and drug industries have very little in common. One is a relatively slow and safe business, the other a high-risk, high-reward venture. Yet these days, they seem to be moving in a common direction… straight towards the clinical nutrition and nutraceuticals business. Broadly speaking, clinical nutrition and nutraceuticals offer a wide range of products. They make foodstuffs and non-prescription medications that slow or prevent illnesses. Basically, nutraceuticals take the fortified food market – worth an expected $175 billion worldwide this year – up to the next level. About five years ago, energy drinks mainstreamed the sector, but it still has a lot more to grow. Knowing that, who can blame multinational food companies and the ]]></description>
