Campbell's Co shares fell 3.24%, hitting a 20-day low, amid news of an investigation into potential fiduciary duty violations by its directors and officers.
The Rosen Law Firm announced the investigation following a lawsuit regarding offensive comments made by a Campbell's executive about the company's products. This has raised concerns among investors about the company's governance and reputation.
The ongoing scrutiny could have broader implications for Campbell's Co, potentially affecting investor confidence and future business operations.
