NEW YORK — Campbell Soup Co. was the only company in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index to rise in trading Monday after the U.S. House of Representatives rejected a $700 billion plan to rescue the financial system, causing stocks to plunge.
Campbell, the world’s largest soupmaker, climbed 12 cents to $37.75 as of 4:15 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The Camden, N.J.-based company has increased 5.7 percent this year, while the S&P 500 has dropped 25 percent.
