Published on 08/19/2026 at 09:06 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
J.M. Smucker (ISIN US8326964058) has a market cap of $12.66 billion, and the shares opened at $118.67 on August 19, 2026. The latest earnings note points to Q1 2027 results before the market opens on August 26, 2026, with analysts looking for $2.21 in EPS and $2.1301 billion in revenue.
Valuation and timing
The same update says the company reported $2.77 in EPS in the prior quarter, beating the $2.64 consensus by $0.13, while revenue came in at $2.27 billion versus $2.26 billion expected. On a year-over-year basis, that quarter compared with $2.31 in EPS in the same period a year earlier, a small but concrete gap that keeps the next print relevant for investors.
Another read-through stands out: the company has set FY 2027 guidance at 9.750 to 10.250 EPS, which gives traders a current benchmark against the coming quarter and the broader earnings path. The stock also carries a buy rating with a $139.00 price target in recent coverage, leaving the gap to the opening price visible in plain numbers.
What the numbers say
The market view is not just about the next release. With a $12.66 billion market cap, a $118.67 opening print and a $139.00 target, J.M. Smucker stock is being judged on whether earnings momentum can keep pace with the valuation reset.
For context, the company still has a branded food and beverage profile built around products such as Jif peanut butter, which remains one of the best-known names in its portfolio. That matters because investors tend to weigh shelf strength, pricing power and guidance together when a consumer staples name is trading against consensus.
Jif and the portfolio
Jif is the kind of product that can move the conversation quickly when brand strategy shifts, because it sits at the center of Smucker's consumer-facing mix. The current debate is less about the label on the jar and more about whether the broader portfolio can support the 9.750 to 10.250 EPS guidance range for FY 2027.
Price view
J.M. Smucker stock traded at $118.67 as of August 19, 2026. The combination of a $12.66 billion market cap and a $139.00 target leaves the next earnings update as the clearest near-term test.
