of 100 · stored research reading
Stored Quality research reads 70 of 100, an above-average reading in the covered universe. Some underlying measurements are stronger than others.
Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

In the company’s own words
The Company: The J. M. Smucker Company ("Company," "registrant," "we," "us," or "our"), often referred to as Smucker’s (a registered trademark), was established in 1897 and incorporated in Ohio in 1921. We operate principally in one industry, the manufacturing and marketing of branded food and beverage products on a worldwide basis, although the majority of our sales are in the United States ("U.S."). Operations outside the U.S. are principally in Canada, although our products are exported to other countries as well. Net sales outside the U.S., subject to foreign currency translation, represented 4 percent of consolidated net sales for 2026. Our branded food and beverage products include a strong portfolio of trusted, iconic, market-leading brands that are sold to consumers primarily through retail outlets in North America.
We have five reportable segments: U.S. Retail Coffee, U.S. Retail Frozen Handheld and Spreads, and U.S. Retail Pet Foods (the "U.S. Retail reportable segments"), Sweet Baked Snacks, and Away From Home. During the fourth quarter of 2026, the Away From Home operating segment met the reportable segment criteria under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280. For additional information on our reportable segments, see Note 5: Reportable Segments.
On March 3, 2025, we sold certain Sweet Baked Snacks value brands to JTM Foods, LLC ("JTM"). The transaction included certain trademarks and licenses, a manufacturing facility in Chicago, Illinois, and approximately 400 employees who support the business. Under our ownership, these Sweet Baked Snacks value brands generated net sales of approximately $48.4 and $30.0 in 2025 and 2024, respectively, which were included in the Sweet Baked Snacks reportable segment.
On December 2, 2024, we sold the Voortman business to Second Nature Brands ("Second Nature"). The transaction included products sold under the Voortman brand, inclusive of certain trademarks, a leased manufacturing facility in Burlington, Ontario, and approximately 300 employees who supported the business. Under our ownership, the Voortman business generated net sales of approximately $86.3 and $65.0 in 2025 and 2024, respectively, which were included in the Sweet Baked Snacks reportable segment.
