Jim Cramer Says “Food Stocks Do Have Scarcity Value” As He Discusses J. M. Smucker

The J. M. Smucker Company (NYSE:SJM) was among the stocks Jim Cramer commented on, saying that tech stocks cannot be trusted to lead anymore. Cramer called it one of the “victims of rampant inflation,” as he commented:

J.M. Smucker, okay, this is a little bit of a metaphor here… Pet food, coffee, Uncrustables, peanut butter, fruit spreads… Twinkies. By the way, Twinkies did well. This company and others have been left for dead, right, victims of rampant inflation, health concerns, GLP-1. But when you think about it, the food stocks do have scarcity value and decent balance sheets, although not a lot of growth, okay? And it makes them a little less attractive.

The J. M. Smucker Company (NYSE:SJM) manufactures branded food and beverage products, including coffee, pet food, spreads, baking ingredients, and sweet baked goods. Cramer discussed the company ahead of earnings during the June 5 episode. He said:

The last time that J.M. Smucker reported, it jumped up on what turned out to be just an okay quarter, and then it got smashed. The rally in the offbeat names like the Staples today swept up the company that makes Twinkies, coffee, dog food, and Uncrustables. I think it’s going to get swept right back down when it reports Tuesday morning.
