Argus Downgrades Campbell Soup (CPB) to Hold

Argus downgraded Campbell Soup (NYSE: CPB) from Buy to Hold on a weaker near-term outlook.

"Although we have a favorable view of Campbell’s efforts to focus on healthier foods, we expect relatively slow growth in the Campbell Fresh division, which posted lower sales in fiscal 4Q16," the analyst said.
