Company Report

Despite Some Strong Brands, Smucker Lacks a Moat and Is Vulnerable to Ongoing Economic Headwinds

Smucker has leading share in some categories, especially its Uncrustables brand, but we don’t think it has enough pricing power or entrenched retailer relationships to create an economic moat. Its long-term strategy targets low-single-digit sales growth, mid-single-digit adjusted operating income growth, and high-single-digit adjusted EPS growth. However, we expect it will fall short and deliver mid-single-digit adjusted EPS growth.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Even after paring back its pet exposure, Smucker has retained ownership of its strongest pet brands, which could allow it to benefit from the continued trend of increased pet ownership and spending.

Bears

Paying a full price for Hostess Brands has increased the difficulty for Smucker to create value from the acquisition while also significantly adding to its debt load.

Company Profile

J.M. Smucker is a packaged food company that primarily sells through the US retail channel (75% of fiscal 2026 revenue came through its retail pet foods, coffee, and frozen handheld/spreads segments), with the remaining share consisting of sweet baked snacks (through the Hostess acquisition), away from home, and international (primarily Canada). Retail coffee is its largest category (37% of sales) with brands Folgers, Dunkin’, and Cafe Bustelo. Pet foods (18% of sales) holds leading brands like Milk-Bone and Meow Mix. Of its remaining, approximately 20% comes from frozen handhelds and spreads, through brands Jif, Smucker’s, and Uncrustables. The company acquired Hostess Brands in fiscal 2024 to boost its snack and convenience store presence.
