Analysis
The J. M. Smucker Company (SJM) currently trades at $118.80, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $82.40, implying the stock looks roughly 30.6% overvalued today. We read business quality at 60/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, The J. M. Smucker Company generated revenue of $8.9B at a net margin of -14.1%. Revenue grew 7.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -20.7%. Net debt stands at $7.0B. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $46.67 (bear case) to $132.61 (bull case); at $118.80, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 36% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -3% fair-value upside, at -31%, SJM screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 12 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($82.97) versus Multiples ($1.40). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
