About McCormick
In its 135-plus-year history, McCormick has become the leading global manufacturer of spices, herbs, extracts, seasonings, and other flavorings. Beyond its namesake brand, the firm's portfolio includes Old Bay, Zatarain's, Thai Kitchen, Frank's RedHot, French's, and Cholula. This mix is slated to be complemented by the pending addition of Unilever's food brands, primarily Knorr cooking aids and Hellmann's mayonnaise. After the deal closes, the combined business stands to generate 70% of sales from consumers and 30% from restaurants and other packaged food and beverage manufacturers. Around 40% of sales should be derived from faster-growing emerging markets, with Europe (around one-quarter) and North America (about one-third) accounting for the remainder.

What the Analysts think about McCormick
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for McCormick stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of McCormick stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Adjusted gross margin expanded 180 basis points in the third quarter, while adjusted operating income rose 22%. McCormick credited productivity savings and its Mexico acquisition, showing that it can improve profitability despite cost pressures. (McCormick & Company, Inc.)
Flavor Solutions delivered 3% organic growth in the third quarter, with growth across several regions helping offset weaker Americas consumer sales. That gives McCormick a source of underlying growth beyond price rises and acquisitions. (McCormick & Company, Inc.)
If the Unilever Foods deal closes, McCormick is targeting $600 million in net annual cost synergies, with about two-thirds expected by the second year. The company says integration plans and specific cost-saving actions are already being prepared. (SEC)
Organic volume and mix fell 0.3% in the quarter, including a 2.5% decline in Consumer Americas. Price increases supported sales, but the weak volume trend raises questions about customer demand and pricing headroom. (Reuters)
Management expects fourth-quarter margin compression as commodity and freight costs rise, and it now expects full-year cost inflation of 6% to 7%. Adjusted EPS rose only 1.2% in the quarter despite a 22% increase in adjusted operating income, as higher tax and interest costs absorbed much of the improvement. (McCormick & Company, Inc.)
The proposed Unilever Foods combination still faces a UK competition investigation, which could delay completion or lead to conditions on the deal. That leaves uncertainty around the timing and benefits of the planned combination. (Reuters)
