As of October 17, 2026, Campbell Soup Co scores 4.4 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of mixed quality. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is Campbell Soup Co’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Ranked with the 71 Consumer Staples companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 21st percentile, among the weakest quarter of its peers. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.8 and a company needs 6.8 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Campbell Soup Co below the median.
Profitability scores 3.9 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 71 Consumer Staples companies is 4.7, so Campbell Soup Co is below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 33rd percentile. Low margins and returns leave little cushion, so a downturn or a cost increase reaches the bottom line quickly.
Campbell Soup Co’s solvency score is 3.1 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 6.9 among 65 Consumer Staples companies, that is well below the group and the 9th percentile. Weak solvency means debt is heavy relative to earnings or cash flow, which makes the business more sensitive to interest rates and to any fall in profits.
On growth, Campbell Soup Co scores 1.5, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.0 across 67 Consumer Staples companies, which places it well below them, at the 17th percentile. A low growth score is common for large, established companies and is not a verdict on quality on its own, but it limits how the business can compound.
On efficiency, Campbell Soup Co scores 7.6, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.7 across 68 Consumer Staples companies, which places it above them, at the 75th percentile. Efficiency at this level means the company needs comparatively little capital to produce what it sells.
On predictability, Campbell Soup Co scores 6.8, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.1 across 71 Consumer Staples companies, which places it above them, at the 73rd percentile. Middling predictability suggests some volatility in the record, enough to read the other pillars with a little caution.
The gap between Campbell Soup Co’s best and worst pillar is wide: efficiency at 7.6 against growth at 1.5, 6.1 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with efficiency points to disciplined use of capital, a strength that compounds quietly. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is solvency. If it rose to the median of Consumer Staples companies, 6.9, Campbell Soup Co’s overall score would go from 4.4 to about 5.2. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Campbell Soup Co has a reading on every pillar.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
