Updated Sales Forecast • There is not much information in the 10K breaking down sales • After some analysis determined the 6.5% was still a good estimate • Only change is I faded the 6.5% down to 2.5% in 1% increments
Updated EPM • Cost of Goods Sold remained relatively constant as a % of sales over the past 3 years so I kept it constant • All the expenses have increased over the years, plans to increase advertising and marketing and cut distribution costs • Most other accounts I just kept constant due to the lack of detail in the notes
Conclusion • Pretty Close! • I would recommend buying shares of JM Smucker because it is slightly undervalued • Also their future plans to keep expanding should increase their value
