The J.M. Smucker Company’s Financial Performance and Acquisition Impact

Add to Favorite
Added to Favorite


The J.M. Smucker Company (NYSE:SJM) reported a revenue of $2.27 billion, a 17.2% increase year-over-year, slightly above the estimated $2.26 billion.
Despite a negative EPS of -$0.23 for the quarter ending November 2024, Smucker’s actual EPS of $2.76 in the previous quarter exceeded expectations.
Smucker’s acquisition of Hostess and its diverse product portfolio have significantly contributed to its revenue growth and financial performance.

The J.M. Smucker Company, listed on the NYSE under the symbol SJM, is a well-known player in the food industry, offering a range of popular brands like Uncrustables, Meow Mix, Café Bustelo, and Jif. The company recently acquired Hostess, which has contributed to its impressive financial performance. Smucker operates in the competitive Zacks Food – Miscellaneous industry.

On November 26, 2024, Smucker reported an earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.23, which was below the estimated EPS of $2.50. However, the company generated a revenue of $2.27 billion, slightly surpassing the estimated $2.26 billion. This revenue figure represents a 17.2% increase compared to the same period last year, highlighting the company’s growth.

Despite the reported negative EPS, Smucker’s performance in the quarter ending October 2024 was strong, with an actual EPS of $2.76, exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.51 by 9.96%. This marks an increase from the $2.59 EPS reported in the same quarter last year. Such earnings surprises are crucial for investors as they indicate the company’s ability to outperform expectations.

Smucker’s revenue of $2.27 billion for the quarter slightly exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.19%. This growth is largely attributed to the acquisition of Hostess and the strong performance of its diverse product portfolio. Over the past four quarters, Smucker has consistently outperformed consensus EPS estimates, achieving this feat four times and exceeding revenue estimates twice.

Financial metrics such as a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 24.29 and a price-to-sales ratio of 1.45 provide insight into Smucker’s valuation. The company’s enterprise value to sales ratio is 1.55, and its enterprise value to operating cash flow ratio is 9.73. With a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.13, Smucker demonstrates conservative debt usage, though a current ratio of 0.58 may indicate potential liquidity concerns.
