About J.M. Smucker

J.M. Smucker makes and sells packaged food and beverage products that reach households through grocery stores, club and discount chains, online retailers, pharmacies, military commissaries and mass merchandisers, among other outlets. Its offerings span coffee in roast, ground, single-serve and premium forms, peanut butter and fruit spreads, cooking oils and shortening, frozen sandwiches and snacks, and pet food and treats, along with hot beverages, portioned foodservice items and flour supplied to restaurants and institutions. The company is perhaps most associated with household names such as Jif, Smucker's, Folgers, Dunkin', Café Bustelo, Milk-Bone, Meow Mix and Rachael Ray Nutrish.

Internally, the business is split into three U.S. retail segments covering pet foods, coffee, and general consumer foods, each built around its own set of brands. Products reach customers through a mix of direct sales teams and broker relationships, giving Smucker access to a wide range of retail and specialty channels rather than a single type of buyer.

The company traces its founding back to 1897 and runs its operations from Orrville, Ohio. Its shares trade on the NYSE under the ticker SJM.

Last earnings call, Jun 9, 2026 AI summary

What they said
SJM reported a strong fiscal Q4 2026 with positive momentum across its portfolio. Coffee brand Bustelo surpassed $0.5 billion in sales, a significant milestone. The company expects mid-single-digit deflation driven by green coffee costs, partially offset by low single-digit inflation in packaging, ingredients, and transportation. Management expressed confidence in their branded coffee position and overall portfolio cohesion.
Guidance
Full year outlook includes mid-single-digit deflation primarily from green coffee, with low single-digit inflation elsewhere. Revenue guidance points to flat Q1 sales followed by a full-year decline of 3-4%. Management is taking a prudent approach to modeling volume elasticities amid cautious consumer sentiment.
