The Zacks Consumer Staples sector has been stronger than most in 2022, down 5% and outperforming the S&P 500 by a notable margin.

Companies in the sector have the advantageous ability to generate revenue in the face of many economic situations, helping explain why it’s been a brighter spot in a dim market.

A widely-recognized company in the realm, The J.M. Smucker Co. SJM, is slated to unveil Q2 earnings on November 21st, before market open.

The J.M. Smucker Company is a leading marketer and manufacturer of consumer food and beverage products and pet food and pet snacks in North America.

Currently, the company carries a favorable Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) paired with an overall VGM Score of a B.

How does everything else stack up heading into the report? Let’s take a closer look.

SJM’s top-line is in better health; the Zacks Consensus Sales Estimate of $2.2 billion suggests an improvement of more than 5% from year-ago quarterly sales of $2.1 billion.

Quarterly Performance

Just in its latest release, the company penciled in a 33.6% bottom-line beat paired with a 1.3% sales surprise. Below is a chart illustrating the company’s revenue on a quarterly basis.

Putting Everything Together

SJM shares are well in the green year-to-date but have slightly underperformed relative to the S&P 500 over the last month.

The company’s forward earnings multiple is above its five-year median and below its Zacks sector average.

Analysts have been bullish in their earnings outlook over the last several months, with estimates indicating a Y/Y decline in earnings but an uptick in revenue – likely a reflection of margin compression.

The company has repeatedly exceeded quarterly estimates, chaining together a long streak of positive earnings and revenue surprises.

Heading into the release, The J.M. Smucker Company SJM carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Hold) paired with an Earnings ESP Score of -0.5%.
