J.M. Smucker (SJM) Meets Q3 Earnings; Sales Lag Estimates
Read MoreHide Full Article
The J. M. Smucker Company (SJM - Free Report) engages in the manufacture and marketing of branded food products worldwide. The company’s primary products include coffee, peanut butter, fruit spreads, shortening and oils, baking mixes and ready-to-spread frostings, and canned milk.
Strong organic sales growth, product innovation and constant efforts to expand through acquisitions have remained the company’s strong points over the past several quarters. While sales were hurt due to the divestiture of its US canned milk brands, but it will allow the company to focus on the key brands and growth opportunities. However, the recent increase in coffee prices will negatively impact the coffee volumes. Heightened competition in the pet food business in the near term also remains a concern.
Earnings Estimate Revision: The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter portrays a downtrend in the last 30 days. J. M. Smucker’s performance in the trailing four quarters (including the quarter under review) gives a positive picture. The company outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by an average of 19.2% in the trailing four quarters.
