CPB - Campbell Soup Company Stock Performance Guide

All calculations assume all dividends are reinvested to purchase additional shares. Taxes and commissions are not factored into calculations. Data is property of 1stock1 and written permission must be granted before redistributing any data (in part or in whole).

Campbell Soup Company (CPB) has produced a steady stream of dividends over the years. In fact, until 2001 the household name soup company had a very long string of rising dividends. As you can see from Campbell's (CPB) stock performance guide, a $5,000 investment at the beginning of 1981 would have been worth nearly $200,000 by the end of 2006. On March 31, 1998 Campbell Soup had a spinoff of Vlasic Foods (VFI). Unfortunately, Vlasic was very heavily leveraged in debt resulting in bankruptcy filings in January 2001. As a result, the VFI shares create no additional value above the Campbell Soup Company shares.
