Hostess Addition Is Decent, but Lofty Price Sets a High Bar for Value Creation for Smucker
Business Strategy and Outlook
Smucker has the leading brand in some categories, but we don’t think it enjoys pricing power or entrenched retailer relationships to create an economic moat. Its long-term strategy is to turn low-single-digit sales growth into mid-single-digit adjusted operating income growth, leading to high-single-digit adjusted EPS growth—but we expect mid-single-digit growth as likely.
