Description: SJM The J. M. Smucker October 31, 2025
The J. M. Smucker Company (NYSE:SJM) manufactures and markets a broad portfolio of branded food and beverage products worldwide, organized into four operating segments: U.S. Retail Coffee; U.S. Retail Frozen Handheld and Spreads; U.S. Retail Pet Foods; and Sweet Baked Snacks. Its well-known brands include Folgers, Café Bustelo, Dunkin’, Jif, Smucker’s, Meow Mix, Milk-Bone, Hostess, and Five Roses, among others, and the company reaches consumers through a mix of direct sales, brokers, and a wide array of retail channels from supermarkets to online platforms.
Key recent metrics indicate that Smucker generated approximately $8.5 billion in net sales for FY 2023, with the Pet Foods segment delivering the strongest growth-about 7 % year-over-year-driven by premiumization trends and higher pet-owner spending. Conversely, the Coffee segment faced margin pressure due to rising coffee bean prices and inflationary input costs, a sector-wide challenge reflected in a 3 % decline in operating margin. A broader industry driver is the ongoing shift toward private-label and value-oriented products, which pressures branded snack margins, while the “snackification” of meals continues to support demand for the company’s frozen handheld and baked snack lines.
