On August 26, JM Smucker rose 5.5% in regular trading, trading at $132.24/share, with turnover of $22.24 million. The surge was driven by the company's FY2027 Q1 earnings release before market open, which massively exceeded expectations.
JM Smucker reported adjusted EPS of $3.24, beating the consensus estimate of $2.22 by approximately 46% and representing a 70.53% year-over-year increase. Revenue came in at $2.219 billion, also surpassing the $2.131 billion estimate. The company simultaneously raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $10.50-$11.00, well above the prior FactSet consensus of $10.07, with corresponding free cash flow projected at $1.1 billion. Key growth drivers included the coffee segment, where net sales surged 13% on both pricing and volume improvements, and the Uncrustables brand, which posted record quarterly sales with household penetration reaching 27%. However, the company lowered its full-year net sales guidance due to declining net price realization.
Within the Packaged Foods sector, JM Smucker significantly outperformed peers, with Kraft Heinz down 3.0%, ConAgra down 1.11%, Campbell Soup down 0.64%, Mondelez down 0.13%, and General Mills flat at 0.03%.
