McCormick & Company, Incorporated Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
McCormick is battling escalated inflation along with broad-based supply chain-related hurdles for a while. A rise in costs has been putting pressure on the company’s gross profit margin. In its last earnings call, management highlighted that cost inflation would exert significant pressure in the first half of 2022. This is likely to be reflected inthe company’s performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
In addition, management highlighted that it is lapping solid business performance from the year-ago quarter, where the Consumer segment delivered exceptional performance. We believe that such a segment mix challenge might be a concern in the to-be-reported quarter.
