PARTIAL BUY
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

SJM is a $10B company with a cheap valuation of 10.3X forward earnings, a high yield of 4.6%, but forward earnings growth for FY2026 is expected to decline about 9%. Analyst earnings estimates dropped significantly following its latest results, as it is seeing declining volumes, higher input costs, and it raised prices to protect margins, but consumers are trading down. Due to these concerns, it is expected to see margin compression in the coming year(s). Its valuation has been compressing over the past decade, and for an income investor, we think it is OK and can eventually recover, but we would not be overly interested in the name here.

SELL ON STRENGTH

Packaged treat business in general is challenged. Aside from tariffs, input costs are rising around the world due to normal inflation over the years. Growth rate's weaker than what he looks for. Only 3.3% earnings growth rate, though PE is cheap at 10x. Below 200-day MA, and moving lower. Value stocks can always get worse.

Showing 25 RSI, indicating oversold. Wait to see if it recovers. If he held it, he wouldn't 6-18 months from now. Nice yield of 4.5%, should be fairly safe.

DON'T BUY

They report Tuesday, and he doubts they can escape packaged food purgatory. Pays a 4% dividend, not enough to help the secular decline in this sector.

COMMENT

They report Tuesday. Shares have stalled lately, because Wall Street has lost faith in the defensives. If SJM reports a beat, money may flow back into this sector.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 08/20, Up 23.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with SJM is progressing well. We now recommend trailing up the stop (from $103) to $130.
DON'T BUY
Used to own it but sold it around 3 years ago when they had little product growth and declining sales. Their dependance on coffee was hurting them and people are buying less jams and jellies. Probably going to continue to suffer based on their ability to drive profitability.
WEAK BUY

It should capitalize on restaurant closures in the current lockdown, but this stock is wildly inconsistent. SJM holds a curious assortment of products. He thinks SJM is ready to catch up, but prefers Hormel.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We are being rewarded for our patience as this was a buy on weakness target. The company best known for jam, also provides pet foods, coffee and much more. Its recent earnings were so strong the company has increased its guidance for 2021. Management projects $8.20-$8.60 EPS, up from $7.90-$8.30 for next year. Recent earnings of $2.37 per share beat estimates of $1.67. It pays a good dividend with a 51% payout ratio. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $103. Yield 3.06% (Analysts’ price target is $117.40)

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly The company best known for jam, also provides pet foods, coffee and much more. Its recent earnings were so strong the company has increased its guidance for 2021. Management projects $8.20-$8.60 EPS, up from $7.90-$8.30 for next year. Recent earnings of $2.37 per share beat estimates of $1.67. This caused share prices to pop recently, so we would be looking to buy on a pullback towards $115. It pays a good dividend with a 51% payout ratio. Yield 2.96%
HOLD

They have a large proportion of their business is coffee. They just made a big pet food acquisition. Debt to equity ratios for these kinds of companies tend to be high because they have a high credit rating due to the fact that they are inelastic – people have to buy the products regardless. Their problem is that their revenues are starting to slide. Little eCommerce startups have eroded 3% of all the revenues of all the big guys. There is nothing wrong with the company and it is a matter of how quickly they can get the revenues back up.

TOP PICK

This is another of those boring US consumer product names. We now have an $.80 dollar that is good for purchasing US stocks. Good discipline with their balance sheet. A quality company. Dividend yield of 2.5%. (Analysts’ price target is $131.)

COMMENT

It looks like the downside is not over. Could it get back to $96? It could, because the model price is actually falling. If you own it, look for $96 which is where he would buy more. It could test resistance again at $132.65.

BUY

It is ripe for consolidation. It is always a bit of a richly valued company. Food and beverage is traditionally the safe place to be. They have done a good job with reinvestment opportunities. They have a long term record of growth and sustainable results.

COMMENT

The stock has done really well and relative outperformance has been great. This gives you a low to mid-teen pretty steady grower on an earnings basis. He feels okay about this.
