THE CAMPBELL'S COMPANY

Campbell Soup

Campbell`s

Over the past 150-plus years, Campbell has evolved into a leading packaged food manufacturer in North America, with a portfolio that extends beyond its iconic red-and-white labeled canned soup. In fiscal 2024, snacks accounted for nearly half of its revenue, followed by soup (28%), other simple meals (17%), and beverages (7%). Outside its namesake, its brands include Pepperidge Farm, Goldfish, Snyder's of Hanover, Swanson, Pacific Foods, Prego, Pace, V8, and recently acquired Rao's (a deal that closed in March 2024). Around 90% of its revenue results from the US and the remainder from Canada and Latin America.

RBC Capital Markets analyst Nik Modi slashed the price forecast for The Campbell&#8217;s Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) from $44 to $38 while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CPB/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintaining a Sector Perform rating</a>.
What Happened: The canned soup company reported third-quarter sales of $2.475 billion. It beat the consensus estimate of $2.43 billion, while the adjusted EPS of 73 cents <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the consensus estimate of 66 </a>cents.
Campbell&#8217;s now expects adjusted EPS to be at the low end of the guided range of $2.95 – $3.05. Compare that to the consensus estimate of $2.98 owing to the slower-than-anticipated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recovery in the Snacks business.</a>
Assuming current tariffs hold steady, the company estimates that the net incremental headwind on adjusted EPS could be up to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 3 cents to 5 cents per share</a>.
Modi says that despite beating quarterly EBIT and EPS estimates, management now projects lighter full-year profitability. The company&#8217;s snacks segment did not recover and estimates could drop further if <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">tariffs remain in place</a>.
As for what&#8217;s more expensive:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Canadian soup</li>
<li>Tinplate and aluminum, and </li>
<li>Rao&#8217;s finished goods and raw materials from Italy.</li>
</ul>
Taking about key positives, the analyst notes that management cited that softening consumer sentiment is driving a preference for home-cooked meals and ingredients that stretch tight food budgets.
These factors significantly boosted Meals &amp; Beverages (M&amp;B), especially for condensed cooking soups, broth, and Italian sauces, adds the analyst.
Nevertheless, Modi writes that while shifting consumer sentiment aided the M&amp;B segment, it pressured CPB&#8217;s discretionary Snacks categories, leading to a 3% consumption decline in the division.
The analyst maintained the FY25 organic growth estimate to be just below the midpoint of guidance at -1.2% while reducing the EBIT growth estimate to +1.4% (from +3.2%) and EPS growth to -5.6% (from -3.6%).
The estimates revision reflects the analyst&#8217;s assumptions that tariffs will remain in effect throughout the quarter.
The analyst says that their FY26 numbers are also recalibrated lower, anticipating continued profitability pressure into next year.
Also, Bank of America Securities analyst Peter Galbo maintained an Underperform rating and cut the price forecast from $37 to $33.
The analyst adjusted FY25 estimates downward to reflect softer trends in the Snacks division (expected to have an extended recovery into FY26), a roughly 3-point headwind for M&amp;B in the fourth quarter due to shipment timing, and a four-cents-per-share impact from tariffs in the fourth quarter.
The analyst adds that Campbell&#8217;s has strong snacking brands, but the category struggles with finding optimal value price points.
Galbo says that this challenge exists because snacking, being a more discretionary purchase, needs to feel &#8220;worth it&#8221; to consumers.
Acknowledging the volatile tariff environment, the analyst slashed the FY25 adjusted EPS estimate to $2.91 (from $2.98). This reflects a weaker-than-anticipated exit rate into FY26.
Also, the analyst reduced the FY26 adjusted EPS estimate to $2.65 (from $3.00). That&#8217;s assuming a similar per-share impact from tariffs through the first three-quarters of FY26.
Apart from this, these analysts also made <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/06/45746840/campbells-analysts-slash-their-forecasts-after-q3-earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">changes to their price forecast:</a>

The Campbell's Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) posted better-than-expected third-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/cpb/earnings">results on Monday</a>.
The company reported third-quarter sales growth of 4% year over year (Y/Y) to $2.475 billion, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $2.43 billion. Adjusted EPS of $0.73 beat the consensus estimate of $0.66.
For FY25, Campbell reiterated net sales growth of 6% to 8%&nbsp; and adjusted EBIT growth of 3% to 5%. The company reaffirmed adjusted EPS guidance of $2.95 – $3.05 vs. the consensus estimate of $2.98.
Excluding the impact of tariffs, the company now expects adjusted EBIT and adjusted EPS to be at the low end of the guided range owing to the slower-than-anticipated recovery in the Snacks business. Assuming current tariffs hold steady, the company estimates that the net incremental headwind on adjusted EPS could be up to $0.03 to $0.05 per share.
Mick Beekhuizen, Campbell&#8217;s President and CEO said, &#8220;We delivered solid third quarter results that exceeded our expectations partially due to favorable shipment timing. In Meals &amp; Beverages, we are seeing improved consumption across all consumer income groups. Consumers are cooking at home at the highest levels since early 2020 and turning to our brands for value, quality, and convenience. Within Snacks, performance was mixed across the portfolio, and while we&#8217;re benefiting from some strong innovation launches, we are adjusting our plans to make sure we&#8217;re competitive across our full brand portfolio. Our overall performance reflects our strong execution and disciplined cost management in what remains a dynamic operating environment. We continue to evolve our organization and capabilities to better leverage our scale for growth and drive long-term value creation.&#8221;

Insights From Analysts:
As the S&amp;P 500 index rebounded from its April slump, Adam Turnquist, LPL Financial's chief technical strategist, pointed to strong indicators of a genuine recovery, noting the index&#8217;s reversal of its short-term downtrend and a doubling of its uptrend during this period.
A chart from LPL Financial illustrates this shift: on April 8, the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s uptrend accounted for just 29.4%, with downtrends at 70.2%. By May 29, however, the index had swiftly recovered, with uptrends doubling to 60% and downtrends decreasing to 39%.
LPL Financial attributed this change to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45739065/sp-500-reverses-short-term-downtrend-after-april-lows-technical-evidence-shows-recovery-is-real-and-not-a-bull-trap-or-bear-market-rally">significant technical progress</a> throughout May. He explained, "The index has reversed a short-term downtrend and continues to hold above its recent price gap above the 200-day moving average (dma)."
Turnquist suggests that a close above the May high of 5,969 points could pave the way for the index to retest its previous high of 6,144 points.
He emphasized, "There is a growing list of technical evidence that suggests this recovery is real, and not a ‘bull trap' or ‘bear market rally.' For investors, this means dips above support should be used as buying opportunities."
This positive outlook follows a strong May for the broader market, which saw a 6.2% gain—its best month since November 2023 and its strongest May since 1990. Turnquist also noted that historically, when the index rallies 3% or more in May, a month often associated with the &#8220;Sell in May and Go Away&#8221; adage, year-end returns average 8.9%, with positive returns in 73% of such periods.
Meanwhile, the Senior Economist at WisdomTree and former professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Jeremy Siegel, said, &#8220;I remain bullish on equities presuming tariffs remain in the 10% for all, 30% for China, range.&#8221;
Highlighting that Trump has doubled the tariffs on steel and aluminum, Seigel added, &#8220;If he goes no further, the current upward trend can continue. The market's resilience, despite noise on tariffs, inflation, and politics, tells me that investors see the same economy I do: strong productivity, solid consumer spending, and stabilizing inflation.&#8221;

US Stocks Likely To Open Lower: Expert Highlights Technical Analysis Showing S&P 500's 'Recovery Is Real' And Not A 'Bull Trap' Or 'Bear Market Rally'

The snacks business of Campbell&#8217;s Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) may be facing headwinds in recent months, but one particular brand is bucking the trend.
What Happened: During the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45720002/campbells-brews-up-strong-q3-beats-estimates-as-home-cooking-sector-simmers">third quarter earnings</a> call on Monday, Campbell&#8217;s CEO, Mick Beekhuizen, highlighted the standout performance of its Milano Cookies brand, which defied the broader slowdown in the company&#8217;s snacks segment.
The segment as a whole posted a 5% year-over-year decline in sales, but Milano premium cookie was up, and while the company does not disclose the actual sales figures for the brand, it does say that the product line &#8220;had the strongest household penetration gains&#8221; during the quarter.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45740017/tsmc-ceo-tells-trump-100-billion-us-chip-expansion-will-take-time-amid-tariff-pressures-surging-ai-demand">TSMC CEO Tells Trump $100 Billion US Chip Expansion Will &#8216;Take Time&#8217; Amid Tariff Pressures, Surging AI Demand</a>
Beekhuizen credits this to a &#8220;touch of premium indulgence&#8221; that continues to resonate with selective consumers, amid &#8220;tighter food budgets&#8221; and a broader shift towards &#8220;value.&#8221;
&#8220;Consumers are being more intentional with their discretionary snack purchases,&#8221; Beekhuizen notes, favoring products that either don&#8217;t stretch household budgets or deliver enough perceived value to justify a splurge.
The outperformance contrasts sharply with other snack brands in Campbell's portfolio, including Goldfish crackers and Snyder's of Hanover pretzels, both of which faced year-over-year sales declines. 
The company's broader snack strategy is being reworked with a focus on core brand relevance, innovation, and price-pack architecture, rather than across-the-board promotions. Executives say that while inflation and consumer caution are pressuring the segment, targeted wins like Milano reinforce the case for premium offerings.
Why It Matters: The company mentioned during the call that consumers were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/06/45738876/americans-are-cooking-at-home-more-than-ever-since-covid-and-they-want-ingredients-that-stretch-their-budget">turning to its brands</a> for &#8220;value, quality, and convenience,&#8221; while also &#8220;favoring ingredients that help stretch tighter food budgets,&#8221; in light of the prevailing macro conditions. 
Milano, nonetheless, stood out, highlighting the split in consumer behavior between value and luxury in recent quarters, especially as economic conditions tightened.
During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45720002/campbells-brews-up-strong-q3-beats-estimates-as-home-cooking-sector-simmers">third quarter results</a>, the company reported $2.47 billion, up 4% year-over-year, and ahead of consensus estimates at $2.43 billion.

'Touch of Premium Indulgence,' Says Campbell's CEO, As 'Splurge-Worthy' Milano Cookies Defy Snack Slump

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Monday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Monday, with the Nasdaq Composite gaining more than 100 points during the session.
Wall Street closed on a positive note last month, with the S&amp;P 500 gaining more than 6.2% in May and the Nasdaq jumping 9.6%. Both indices recorded their strongest months since November 2023. The Dow surged 3.9% for the month.
President Donald Trump announced over the weekend that tariffs on steel and aluminum imports will be doubled to 50% starting June 4, reigniting trade tensions with China. Beijing responded by accusing Washington of seriously violating trade agreements and pledged to take strong measures to defend its interests. The renewed dispute ignited a rally in precious and industrial metals.
Campbell's Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) posted better-than-expected third-quarter results. Lyra Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYRA#NASDAQ">LYRA</a>) shares jumped over 310% on Monday after the company announced its ENLIGHTEN 2 Phase 3 trial of LYR-210 met its primary endpoint.
On the economic data front, the ISM manufacturing PMI declined to 48.5 in May compared to 48.7 in April, also missing market estimates of 49.5. U.S. construction spending declined by 0.4% month-over-month to an annual rate of $2,152.4 billion in April following a revised 0.8% fall in March.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with energy, communication services and information technology stocks recording the biggest gains on Monday. However, industrial stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 35 points to 42,305.48 on Monday. The S&amp;P 500 gained 0.41% to 5,935.94, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.67% at 19,242.61 during Monday's session.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 62.3, the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Monday, versus a prior reading of 61.6.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Nasdaq Surges Over 100 Points Despite Renewed Trade Concerns: Investor Sentiment Improves, Fear Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

Americans are firing up their stovetops at the "highest levels since early 2020," Campbell's Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) chief executive Mick Beekhuizen told analysts on Monday.
What Happened: Beekhuizen declared in a post-earnings conference call that consumers are "turning to our brands for value, quality, and convenience" and "favoring ingredients that help stretch tighter food budgets."
Sales of condensed soup and broth — pantry staples that anchor low-cost meals — jumped 15% in Campbell's latest quarter, helping overall revenue beat Wall Street estimates even as the snacks division fell 5% on an organic basis.
The wallet shift comes as eating out grows pricier. Government data <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm">show</a> the food-away-from-home index rose 3.9% in April from a year earlier, while prices for food at home slipped 0.4% on the month, widening the savings gap for households that choose their kitchens over restaurants.
Why It Matters: Fast-food giants are already feeling the heat. McDonald's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) CEO Christopher Kempczinski said visits from low-income diners were down "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45336128/a-divided-economy-mcdonalds-ceo-says-rich-keep-dining-out-but-average-income-consumers-feeling-economic-anxiety">nearly double digits</a>" in the first quarter and middle-income consumers fell nearly as much. According to Reuters, Burger King&#8217;s parent, Restaurant Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45292609/burger-king-parent-restaurant-brands-q1-earnings-miss-comparable-sales-drop-and-more">missed sales expectations</a> after noting that customers were steering inflation-hit dollars toward groceries. Chipotle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) cut its sales outlook too, blaming persistent inflation and economic uncertainty that keep guests at home.

Broader metrics also flash caution. The University of Michigan's consumer-sentiment gauge sank to a three-year low in May as households braced for higher prices.
Campbell Soup Company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45720002/campbells-brews-up-strong-q3-beats-estimates-as-home-cooking-sector-simmers">third-quarter sales</a> of $2.475 billion, up 4% year-over-year and ahead of analyst expectations. Meals &amp; Beverages sales jumped 15%, offsetting an 8% decline in Snacks, while adjusted EPS of $0.73 beat the $0.66 consensus. The company also expanded operating cash flow to $872 million over nine months, delivered $110 million in cost savings, and continues to return capital through dividends and share buybacks.
Price Action: Campbell&#8217;s Co. shares closed 0.62% up at $34.25 on Monday.

Americans Are Cooking At Home More Than Ever Since COVID—And They Want Ingredients That Stretch Their Budget

After delivering its strongest monthly performance since November 2023, Wall Street entered June on a cautious note, with mounting geopolitical tensions and new trade tariffs clouding investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/45722678/magnificent-seven-closed-a-blockbuster-may-added-nearly-2-trillion-in-market-value">appetite for risk assets.</a>
President Donald Trump announced over the weekend that tariffs on steel and aluminum imports will be doubled to 50% starting June 4, reigniting trade tensions with China. Beijing responded by accusing Washington of seriously violating trade agreements and pledged to take strong measures to defend its interests.
The renewed dispute ignited a rally in precious and industrial metals. Aluminium prices climbed 2.5%, copper gained 3%, and silver soared 4.6%, marking its best daily performance since September 2024. Gold also caught a bid, rising 2.8% to $3,327 per ounce, its highest level since May 8, as investors sought safe-haven protection.
Russia's war with Ukraine escalated over the weekend, with Ukrainian drones striking airfields deep inside eastern Siberia. Moscow responded with one of its largest missile and drone barrages yet.
The geopolitical flare-up sent oil prices up 3.5% to $64 a barrel, shrugging off OPEC+'s announcement of a 411,000 barrels-per-day production hike starting in July.
Meanwhile, U.S. natural gas prices spiked 7% as traders priced in a potential increase in LNG demand from Europe.
On the macro front, the Institute for Supply Management's Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) revealed a deeper-than-expected contraction in May. Price pressures remained elevated, hovering near their highest<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45724821/trumps-manufacturing-narrative-weakens-as-may-data-shows-sharper-contraction-stubborn-inflation"> levels in three years.</a>
Selling pressure resumed in the Treasury market, with the yield on the 30-year U.S. bond rising 6 basis points to 4.98%. 
The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) dropped 1.5%, reflecting losses in long-duration bonds. At the same time, the U.S. dollar softened, with the dollar index falling to 98.7, its lowest in over a week.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell 1.3% to $104,000, continuing its pullback from recent highs.

Dow Dips Over 300 Points; Campbell's Posts Upbeat Earnings

Canned soup products maker&nbsp;The Campbell's Company&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) shares are&nbsp;trading <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45717977/campbells-reports-third-quarter-fiscal-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">higher in the premarket&nbsp;on Monday</a>.
The company reported&nbsp;third-quarter&nbsp;sales growth of 4%&nbsp;year over year (Y/Y) to&nbsp;$2.475 billion, beating the analyst&nbsp;consensus estimate of&nbsp;$2.43 billion.
The benefit from the Sovos Brands acquisition drove the increase. Organic net sales rose 1% Y/Y to $2.3 billion, led by favorable volume/mix (+2%).

Meals &amp; Beverages net sales in the quarter increased&nbsp;15% Y/Y,&nbsp;driven by the benefit of the acquisition. Snacks net sales in the quarter decreased 8% Y/Y in the quarter.
Adjusted gross margin contracted 110 basis points to 30.1%. This is mainly due to cost inflation and other supply chain costs, and the impact of the acquisition.
Adjusted EBIT of&nbsp;$362&nbsp;million&nbsp;increased by&nbsp;2%&nbsp;Y/Y in the quarter, aided by the contribution of the acquisition.
Adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$0.73 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the consensus estimate of&nbsp;$0.66.</a>
The company held&nbsp;$143 million&nbsp;in cash and equivalents as of April 27, 2025. Operating cash flow for nine&nbsp;months totaled&nbsp;$872&nbsp;million.
The company has paid&nbsp;$343&nbsp;million&nbsp;in cash dividends and repurchased around $60&nbsp;million&nbsp;in common stock year-to-date.
As of the end of the third quarter, Campbell had around $200 million remaining under its anti-dilutive share repurchase program. It also had about $301 million remaining under its September 2021 strategic share repurchase program.
The company delivered about $110 million of savings under the $250 million cost savings program announced in September 2024.
Campbell&#8217;s CEO Mick Beekhuizen said, &#8220;In Meals &amp; Beverages, we are seeing improved consumption across all consumer income groups.&#8221;
Beekhuizen adds that consumers are &#8220;cooking at home at the highest levels since early 2020&#8221; and that Campbell&#8217;s is &#8220;adjusting&#8221; its plans to ensure it stays competitive.
FY25&nbsp;Outlook: Campbell&nbsp;reiterated net sales growth of&nbsp;6%&nbsp;to&nbsp;8%&nbsp; and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">adjusted EBIT growth of&nbsp;3%&nbsp;to&nbsp;5%</a>.
The company reaffirmed adjusted EPS guidance of&nbsp;$2.95&nbsp;–&nbsp;$3.05 vs. the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44140506" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of&nbsp;$2.98</a>.
Excluding the impact of tariffs, the company now expects adjusted EBIT and adjusted EPS to be at the low end of the guided range owing to the slower-than-anticipated recovery in the Snacks business.
Assuming current tariffs hold steady, the company estimates that the net incremental headwind on adjusted EPS could be up to $0.03 to $0.05 per share.
Also, Campbell stated that FY25 comprises 53 weeks, and the extra week is estimated to add about 2 points of growth to reported net sales and adjusted EBIT, plus roughly $0.05 to adjusted EPS.
Price Action: CPB shares are up 2.14% at $34.77 premarket at the last check on Monday.

U.S. stock futures fell on Monday after a mixed close on Friday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading lower in premarket.
After the Federal appeals court temporarily reinstated Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs, he accused <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/05/45683326/trump-tariffs-temporarily-preserved-as-appeals-court-pauses-lower-ruling">China of violating an agreement</a> with the U.S. to ease tariffs in his Truth Social <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114596705340367716">post</a>. 
However, Trump did not specify the details of this violation. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday clarified that China was withholding critical minerals it agreed to release in a trade deal the country signed with U.S. negotiators last month in Geneva.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.44% and the two-year bond was at 3.92%.

Insights From Analysts:
According to Bob Elliott, the CIO of Unlimited Funds, there was a "consensus" among the market participants that TACO trade or Trump Always Chickens Out' trade is priced in, meaning investors anticipate Trump's tariff retreats, especially now that he is embroiled in the legal battle over the validation of his levied tariffs.
He implied that TACO could pave the way for a "Run It Hot" economic environment, characterized by growth-oriented policies and sustained stimulus, further fueling market optimism.
Elliott's post signaled a widespread belief that Trump&#8217;s possible tariff rollbacks or extensions are not only predictable but also conducive to a pro-growth economic stance.

Meanwhile, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, Tom Lee, stated that a "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45715677/tom-lee-bets-on-a-new-bull-market-as-trumps-tariff-retreat-fuels-taco-trade-a">new bull market</a>" has emerged following the spike in the volatility gauge in April. &#8211;
"I think we had what was a miniature bear market, but has essentially rebirthed the new bull market," he <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/30/tom-lee-says-the-april-selloff-rebirthed-a-new-bull-market-.html?__source=twitter%7Cpro&amp;taid=6839dcb51dc732000173796f&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_content=pro&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">told</a> CNBC as he expects "pretty shallow" dips from here, advising investors to consider small-cap stocks other than the Magnificent 7
"As I look at the second half, I think the small caps really have a strong case to be made, because as long as we move towards a tariff resolution, or the markets feel that way, then I think investors can actually start putting flows back into stocks other than the Mag Seven,&#8221; Lee said.
