The J. M. Smucker Company is expected to report a decline in both top and bottom-line figures for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The consensus estimate for revenues is set at $2.19 billion, indicating a 0.8% drop from the previous year's reported figure. The earnings consensus mark has remained unchanged at $2.25 per share, implying a 15.4% decrease from the year-ago quarter. Despite these challenges, SJM has delivered an average trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 11.7%.

The company is navigating a challenging consumer landscape marked by inflationary pressures and reduced discretionary spending. These factors are particularly impacting categories like sweet baked goods, where recovery has been slower than anticipated. Management has lowered expectations for the sweet baked snacks business in the fiscal fourth quarter, raising concerns about near-term performance. Additionally, SJM is incurring high selling, distribution, and administrative costs, with SD&A expenses expected to increase by roughly 8% in fiscal 2025. While these investments are crucial for sustaining brand engagement, the disproportionate rise in SD&A relative to revenues introduces margin risks.

On the last earnings call, management indicated that the coffee segment might encounter its highest cost basket in the fiscal fourth quarter. Although performance in the fiscal third quarter exceeded expectations, margin compression is anticipated in the fiscal fourth quarter. Pricing actions might not fully offset the impact of commodity inflation and elasticity pressures, heightening the risk for SJM’s to-be-reported quarter. However, the resilience of its categories and the effective execution of key growth strategies have been aiding amid a dynamic landscape. SJM’s strategic priorities include focusing on growing volume and net sales, operating with excellence, and prioritizing resources to capitalize on the fastest growth opportunities. The company is also concentrating on integrating and delivering on the acquired Hostess Brands business. Solid execution of these initiatives is likely to have supported performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
