But what she's saying is likely to sound a lot like what she's said before. Plus, Campbell Soup reports its second-quarter earnings today and it is already warning that it expects those numbers to be down given the strong dollar. The well-known brand recently reorganized shifting its central focus from its familiar soups, which have faced lukewarm sales of late, to bigger moneymakers like the baby food Plum Organics.
