Campbell's reported second quarter fiscal 2026 results for the quarter ended February 1, 2026, with net sales down 5% to $2.6 billion and adjusted EPS down 31% to $0.51. The company lowered its full-year fiscal 2026 guidance, now expecting adjusted EPS of $2.15 to $2.25 versus the prior $2.40 to $2.55, citing its Snacks business and a more cautious view for the rest of the year. The lower guidance reduces the earnings outlook for shareholders.
