The J. M. Smucker Company delivered a modest Q4 beat thanks to cost cuts, but sales growth was very disappointing. Higher coffee prices, increased pet food competition, and pressures from GLP-1 drugs will make the next 12 months difficult, and guidance appears too optimistic. At over 12x earnings, shares are not compelling, and I expect SJM to be dead money. Investors should look elsewhere for better opportunities.
