Investing.com -- Fitch Ratings has downgraded The Campbell’s Company’s Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and senior unsecured rating to ’BBB-’ from ’BBB’ on Wednesday. The rating agency also lowered Campbell’s Short-Term IDR and commercial paper ratings to ’F3’ from ’F2’, while maintaining a Stable outlook.

The downgrade reflects Fitch’s expectation that Campbell’s leverage will remain elevated above 3.5x for an extended period due to ongoing weak operating performance. Fitch projects EBITDA could decline by 13% to $1.6 billion in fiscal 2026, driven by weak sales, higher input costs, and continued business reinvestment.

Following the Sovos acquisition in March 2024, Campbell’s leverage increased to 3.8x in fiscal 2024 from 2.7x in fiscal 2023, and remained high at 3.7x in fiscal 2025. Fitch expects leverage to reach approximately 4.2x in fiscal 2026 before improving to the high 3x range in fiscal 2027, assuming free cash flow is used for debt reduction.

Campbell’s operating performance has weakened, with EBIT margins declining from 15.7% in fiscal 2024 to 14.6% in fiscal 2025. Fitch projects a further decline to around 12.7% in fiscal 2026. The company’s organic sales fell 1% in fiscal 2025, primarily due to volume declines in its Snack segment.

For fiscal 2026, Fitch expects Campbell’s net revenue to decrease by approximately 4%, reflecting the reversal of benefits from a 53rd week in fiscal 2025 and revenue losses from the Pop Secret and noosa yogurt business divestitures.

The U.S. packaged food industry faces significant consumer pressures due to inflation and macroeconomic challenges, resulting in increased focus on value. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Campbell’s experienced a 3% volume decline in both its Meals & Beverages and Snacking segments.

Fitch projects annual free cash flow after dividends to be around $200 million in fiscal 2026 and $300 million in fiscal 2027, lower than Campbell’s three-year pre-acquisition average of approximately $350 million annually. The company is expected to pay down $200 million to $350 million of debt over fiscal 2026 and 2027.

Despite these challenges, Campbell’s maintains strong market positions with three brands generating over $1 billion each: Campbell’s, Goldfish, and Pepperidge Farm. The company holds leading market shares in key categories including soup, Mexican sauce, Italian pasta sauce, pretzels, crackers, and kettle chips.

During its September 2024 Investor Day, Campbell’s outlined a long-term growth algorithm targeting 2% to 3% organic net sales growth, which Fitch views as aspirational given current performance trends.
