66 Campbell Soup Co. has been one of the worst
performing food companies over the past two years.
If a quick way out is available, the family members
who control the firm should give it serious
consideration...
[An attempted turnaround] will be a long and
drawn-out process with uncertain prospects for
success. Campbell's ability to invest for growth will
also be constrained by the imperative to reduce its
debt overhang... Against that backdrop, an outright
sale starts to look more appealing...

condensed soup over 120 years ago. For his
descendants, it may finally be time to move on. 99
