The industry's average sentiment score rose from 4.43 to 5.29, with three companies moving up and none moving down, even as inflation outlooks got hotter. Negative cost-pressure themes fell from 6 to 3 companies, but that count measures tone, not costs. Six of the seven companies described inflation as deteriorating in their macro signals: General Mills (GIS) guided net inflation of 4 to 5% for fiscal 2027, Campbell's (CPB) pointed to 5% to 6% inflation into next year, and McCormick (MKC) said it is tracking toward the high end of its cost inflation guide at about 6%. Negative pricing or competitive themes held at 4 companies in both quarters.
