Wells Fargo resumed coverage on Campbell Soup (NYSE: CPB) with a Market Perform rating and a price target of $33 to $35.

"As CPB contends with prolonged U.S. soup weakness and macro softness in key global markets, it is revving its innovation engine and seeking a fine-tuned marketing approach to reconnect with consumers," said analyst John Baumgartner.

"August 2012's acquisition of Bolthouse Farms expands long-term health and wellness opportunities," added Baumgartner.

He says near term, lingering pressures limit upside risks to EPS, but muted expectations similarly limit negative risks to valuation.
