J.M. Smucker

J. M. Smucker reported adjusted Q1 earnings of $3.24 per share (expectation $2.21) and revenue of $2.2 billion (expectation $2.12 billion), after which the stock rose about 4.2% in premarket trading to $130.70. Results were partly helped by tariff refunds of $0.84 per share; management is reinvesting part of that into marketing and production preparation for the McCalla plant. Uncrustables remains the main growth driver, now expected to grow in the high single-digit percentage range, and the company reached its 3x debt target earlier than planned, creating room for share buybacks. » More on de.investing.com
