Less than a month after giving terrible FY19 guidance,
Campbell gave investors another negative update
■
■
-
Campbell, in its FY18 10-K, disclosed that "cost increases,
shipment delays, and weather-related issues" would have a
"negative impact" on fiscal 1919
In follow up conversations with leading sell-side analysts,
Campbell confirmed these headwinds create risk to FY19 guidance
On the back of this incremental bad news, the stock fell another
6% to $36.63 over the next two days
66
Each of these developments is unfortunate and places management's full-year guidance at risk, in our view.
The risk to earnings has obvious flow through implications to the company's cash flow,
which adds to concern given the company's already challenged liquidity and balance sheet profile.
