McCormick & company, incorporated (nyse: mkc) is a global leader in flavor and one of the most respected and familiar names in the industry. in business for more than 125 years, mccormick manufactures, markets and distributes spices, seasoning mixes, condiments and other flavorful products to the entire food industry—retail outlets, food manufacturers and food service businesses. the mccormick name represents a trusted source of flavor in millions of kitchens around the globe—in homes and in restaurants.
MKC has a market cap of $21B, a yield of 2.2%, historically low to mid-single digit sales and earnings growth rates, and forward earnings margin estimates are quite positive. Its balance sheet is strong, free cash flows are healthy, and its debt levels have been coming down over the years. Over the past 20 years, it has a roughly 10% total return CAGR, and while it has largely been flat over the past several years, we feel that in the coming years it can help an investors' portfolio with downside protection. We would be comfortable holding, or slowly averaging into MKC here.
