Excluding items, the company earned US77c a share in the second quarter ended January 27, beating the average analyst estimate of 70c, according to Refinitiv data. Campbell’s shares jumped 5% in premarket trading. Like other packaged-food companies, Campbell has been struggling to attract young, increasingly health-conscious consumers. It has tried to make its portfolio healthier and launched a cost-cutting and divestment plan in August.
Campbell said on Tuesday it expects to name buyers for Bolthouse and its international business by the end of its financial year in July. The company also said it had agreed to sell salsa maker Garden Fresh Gourmet to a unit of Fountain of Health USA, which makes hummus, dips and prepared salads. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
