What the filing says
McCormick reported Q3 2026 net sales of $2.025B (up 17.4% YoY; organic growth 1.9%) and adjusted operating income of $359M (up 22% YoY). The company reaffirmed full-year 2026 net sales growth of 13–17%, adjusted operating income growth of 16–20%, and adjusted EPS of $3.05–$3.13 (2–5% growth). McCormick de Mexico acquisition (closed January 2, 2026 for 25% additional stake, bringing ownership to 75%) contributed 14% to Q3 sales growth. The pending Unilever Foods combination (announced March 2026, expected close mid-2027) targets ~$600M annual run-rate cost synergies and mid-to-high-single-digit EPS accretion within 12 months post-close; integration planning with 20 cross-functional teams (200+ employees) is on track; regulatory filings submitted on schedule.
Why this rating
Q3 results solid but ordinary; organic growth modest at 1.9%. Pending Unilever deal ($20B pro forma revenue) is material but distant (mid-2027 close), contingent on regulation. McCormick de Mexico accretion is real but expected. No material business disruption or surprise.
