The J.M. Smucker Company (SJM) has been experiencing a turbulent period as it faces significant market pressure. Despite this, Retirement Systems of Alabama has maintained its $2.96 million stake in the company. Furthermore, JM Smucker has recently boosted its dividend for the 22nd consecutive year. However, its stocks have been a mix of falls and rises, despite outperforming the market on certain days.
There are speculations of unpleasant surprises for SJM shares, even as the company declares a dividend and announces the date of its annual shareholders meeting. SJM has recently undergone layoffs and has seen its enterprise value discussed. With increased scrutiny on SJM stock, questions about whether it's currently undervalued have arisen.
The company has also had institutional involvement from First Trust Direct Indexing L.P. and Atria Wealth Solutions Inc., both making moves on SJM shares. Recent moves also include the acquisition of Hostess Brands and the divesting of fermented food condiment brands in Canada.
As the fiscal 2024 Q2 earnings report and mixed results amid brand divestitures and acquisitions roll out, the company remains in the spotlight. The recent purchasing of SJM shares by Director Tarang Amin and the recent score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign's 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index signify positive strides. Still, there are concerns about the company's debt and subsequent risks.
