Campbell Soup on the Big Money Menu

And the iconic food and beverage company could rise even more due to strong demand and a healthy dividend. But another likely reason is Big Money lifting the stock.

Big Money Likes Campbell Soup

So, what’s Big Money? Said simply, that’s when a stock goes up in price alongside chunky volumes. It’s indicative of institutions betting on the shares.

Smart money managers are always looking for the next hot stock. And Campbell Soup has many fundamental qualities that are attractive.

This sets up well for the stock going forward. But how the shares have been trading points to more upside. As I’ll show you, the Big Money has been consistent in the shares.

You see, fund managers are always looking to bet on the next outlier stocks…the best in class. They spend countless hours sizing up companies, reading reports, speaking to analysts…you name it. When they find a company firing on all cylinders, they pounce in a big way.

That’s why I’ve learned how critical it is to gauge Big Money demand for shares. To show you what I mean, have a look at all the Big Money signals CPB has made the last year. As sentiment has turned bearish, CPB has been bought up.

The last few weeks have seen Big Money activity too. Each green bar signals big trading volumes as the stock ramped in price:

In the last year, the stock attracted 10 Big Money buy signals. Generally speaking, recent green bars could mean more upside is ahead.

Now, let’s check out technical action grabbing my attention:

Outperformance is important for leading stocks.

Campbell Soup Price Prediction

The Campbell Soup rally could have further to go. Big Money buying in the shares is signaling to take notice. Shares could be positioned for further upside, plus it pays a current dividend of more than 3.2%. Given the historical gains in share price and strong fundamentals, this stock could be worth a spot in a diversified portfolio.
