Thanks in advance for lending me your attention!

So how do you lose $393 million dollars in 3 months?

Step 1. Run social justice ads that don’t work in the consumer staples space, and –
Step 2. Spend more money to put the same poor product in refrigerated and other higher-cost space.

How do you make things even worse?

Step 1. Say your profits are going to fall, and instead of being honest –
Step 2. Disseminate fake news blaming steel tariffs, rather than holding the company accountable for unpopular advertising and not producing legit, good quality products – and then paying up for higher-cost space.

Bonus points: Have your CEO abruptly step down.

That’s what Campbell’s did, and as a result, stock price was down over 12% on 5/18. Campbell’s future is uncertain and there’s likely still some downside momentum from a short-term technical perspective in addition to a longer, drawn out descent in price as CPB struggles to salvage its brand.

💰✨Remember… Every single person is their own trusted expert and seeking to promote yourself in that role is vital today, now more than ever.
