Question 8

What are Wall Street analysts saying about J M Smucker stock?

Answer

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about J M Smucker stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Smucker, which has underperformed the industry in the past six months, reported dismal first-quarter fiscal 2019 results, wherein both top and bottom lines missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The results were impacted by higher freight costs, which may weigh on the company’s margins as it expects freight headwinds to linger into 2019. Also, its coffee, and International and Away from Home segments’ sales were hurt by lower net price realization. Further, interest expenses have remained high in the past few quarters, which remains a matter of concern. Nevertheless, the company’s Uncrustable brand and K-Cup business are performing well with significant sales growth. Also, Smucker’s recent acquisition of Ainsworth is likely to continue strengthening its pet’s snacks portfolio. Additionally, Smucker launched Right spend program to maintain cost discipline and remains on track to realize savings of $80 million in 2019." (9/11/2018)
2. Barclays PLC analysts commented, "We attended MPWR AD Thurs., June 7. Meeting was bullish as CEO/founder Michael Hsing shared his vision for continued outsized organic growth and revenue acceleration. Mgmt raised 2Q outlook and detailed plan to achieve $1B revenues by 2021 at GM/OM 57.5%/36%, suggesting ~$7.50 of earnings power. With an expanding $17B-plus TAM and solid position in sizable nascent growth vectors including automotive, cloud/server, motion control and eCommerce, we view this target imminently achievable and are raising estimates and PT. With shares up 450% over past five years (>2x SOX), we believe investors underappreciate potential for growth acceleration and see $2B top-line organically attainable within five to six years. We like mgmt’s record of consistent execution and MPS’ long-term growth/GM story. We’d remain buyers with a new $150 PT (from $130)." (6/11/2018)
3. Jefferies Financial Group Inc analysts commented, "3Q18 operating results and implied guidance is in-line with consensus (slightly below our estimate). Sales were better than expected (in line with our BSM thesis) and EBIT was better than feared in light of the increases in freight costs that the industry is experiencing. At the segment level, Coffee was a positive stand-out, while Pet results disappointed." (2/16/2018)
