Megan Alexander has given her Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest strong future performance for JM Smucker. The company is expected to report higher-than-consensus earnings per share for the fourth quarter, driven by improved organic sales growth, particularly in the coffee segment. This growth is supported by accelerating scanner sales data in the US, which indicates a positive trend in consumer demand.
Additionally, despite challenges such as coffee inflation and tariffs, JM Smucker is positioned to achieve solid earnings growth in FY26. The company benefits from several tailwinds, including momentum in its base business, productivity improvements, and synergies from recent acquisitions. These factors, combined with potential interest expense savings, provide a strong foundation for future profitability, justifying the Buy rating.
According to TipRanks, Alexander is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 6.5% and a 59.09% success rate. Alexander covers the Consumer Cyclical sector, focusing on stocks such as Vail Resorts, SharkNinja, Inc., and Topgolf Callaway Brands.
In another report released on June 2, Wells Fargo also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $135.00 price target.
