What’s in Store for McCormick Stock?
Why CHD and MKC Outperformed Broader Markets (Continued from Prior Part) ## Impressive growth amid challenges Packaged food companies mostly struggled last year as weak demand, promotions, and costs affected their top and bottom lines. However, McCormick (MKC) was an exception and reported stellar financials. The company’s top line has risen by an impressive double-digit percentage rate in the past four quarters, driven by its recent acquisitions. Conagra Brands’ (CAG), Kellogg’s (K), Hershey’s (HSY), J.M. Smucker’s (SJM), and General Mills’ (GIS) recent net sales growth, supported by benefits from acquisitions, has also been impressive. What sets McCormick apart from other major food companies is its impressive organic sales and margin growth. McCormick’s organic sales have grown healthily due to its expanded distribution, new product launches, and shift toward value-added products. Encouragingly, McCormick’s margins have also expanded as most other packaged food makers’ margin growth has been sluggish over the past several quarters. The company’s strong sales, margin expansion, and lower tax cushioned its bottom line, which has grown at a double-digit percentage rate in the past four quarters. ## Outlook McCormick’s top- and bottom-line growth is expected to decelerate in fiscal 2019 as the company faces a tough year-over-year comparison and laps its RB Foods acquisition. However, its organic sales and earnings are expected to sustain their growth momentum. McCormick’s value-added products, expanded distribution, and innovation are expected to drive its top line, while its higher sales and margin improvement are expected to support its bottom line. Analysts expect McCormick’s top line to increase by 3.4% in fiscal 2019, and its adjusted EPS to grow by 7.8%.

Market Realist•21 days agoKellogg Stock: Is a Recovery Out of the Question?
As of December 24, Kellogg (K) stock had fallen ~18% year-to-date. Weak organic sales and sluggish margins impacted its stock price, and management lowered its 2018 EPS outlook, citing continued cost pressure, an unfavorable mix, and higher interest expenses. The guidance didn’t go down well with investors. Kellogg’s organic sales have been impacted by its list prices being reduced, and higher input and logistics costs and increased interest expenses (driven by debt taken on to finance recent acquisitions) have suppressed margins.

[$$] Even Cracker Consumers Are Entitled to Clarity
As lead counsel in a continuing lawsuit against Kellogg for deceptive marketing, I take issue with your editorial ridiculing consumers’ plight (“Cheez-Its and the Judiciary,” Dec. 18). The Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that plaintiffs can proceed because Cheez-It crackers that were advertized as “whole grain” were made predominantly from refined grain. The court also reiterated the critical principle that consumers have the right to be able to rely on front-of-package claims, and shouldn’t have to investigate background print to discern the truth.
