The article reports that high gas prices are hurting impulse snack sales, and notes that Smucker's Sweet Baked Snacks sales fell 7% from a year earlier in the latest quarter.
Why it matters — A drop in Sweet Baked Snacks sales indicates weaker demand in one of Smucker's key snack segments, which could pressure overall company performance.
Jim Cramer warned that the snack business is struggling, citing Campbell's weak quarter, but two packaged food companies reported stronger results and raised their dividends. The item notes Mondelez and Smucker diverged from the broader negative category outlook.
Why it matters — A SJM watcher would care because the piece signals Smucker performed better than the broader snack category caution and backed its outlook with a dividend increase.
Zacks Investment Research highlights The J. M. Smucker Co. (SJM) as a top-ranked value stock based on its Zacks Style Scores system. The article discusses how investors can use the Style Scores framework to identify strong, market-beating stocks.
