Description: SJM The J. M. Smucker January 03, 2026
The J.M. Smucker Company (NYSE:SJM) is a diversified branded food and beverage maker that sells coffee, spreads, pet foods, and sweet baked snacks through four U.S. retail-focused segments. Its portfolio includes household names such as Folgers, Café Bustelo, Jif, Smucker’s, Meow Mix, Milk-Bone, Hostess, and Five Roses, and it reaches consumers via supermarkets, club stores, discount outlets, online channels, pet-specialty retailers, and food-service distributors.
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 net sales were about $8.2 billion, with the pet-food segment posting a 6% year-over-year revenue increase driven by premium-price growth and expanding e-commerce penetration. The U.S. retail coffee business saw margin compression as coffee bean prices rose 12% YoY, while the sweet baked snacks line benefited from a 4% uplift in promotional lift after the Hostess acquisition. Macro drivers include persistent inflation pressure on commodity costs, a gradual shift toward private-label competition, and steady consumer demand for convenient, on-the-go snack solutions.
