McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE:MKC) is one of the Jim Cramer Warns Viewers About FOMO & Discusses These 19 Stocks.
McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE:MKC) is one of America’s largest spice companies. While food stocks have faced a bloodbath in 2025 as inflation and GLP-1 drugs cut into their revenue, McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE:MKC)’s shares have fared well as they are flat year-to-date. McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE:MKC)’s stock jumped by 5% in June after the firm’s fiscal Q2 earnings of $0.69 beat analyst estimates of $0.66 and its revenue met the estimates. The low-end of its full year earnings guidance of $3.03 per share also beat estimates of $3.02. Cramer explained that the results saw food investors rush to a stock they thought could do well:
“Okay, McKornick is up four dollars. Now Brendan Foley runs the company, it’s not MCK, it’s MKC. Now here’s what important about this. I haven’t seen a food company guide up and they did. Why? Okay, spices are not anything that has to do with GLP-1, they don’t put weight, they don’t put weight. So think about this, mustard doesn’t put weight. It’s one of the few foods that doesn’t. Spices, way to be able to make something better, not fattening. They are fitting with the GLP-1 zeitgeist. And that’s why the stock is up three.

Cramer discussed McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE:MKC) in detail in March. Here is what he said:
“And I just wanted to defend McKormick for a second, now they do have two percent volume growth. It’s not bad. They do have some currency that really knocked things down. People are not factoring it. If you factored in the currency which was bigger than they thought, it’s actually in-line. But what I like about McKormick best, is that people are, when people are . . .and don’t want to go out to expensive restaurants, they cook. And when you cook, you use spice. . .And McCormick is a spice company, and I think they’re gonna do very well if things get, uh, let’s say tougher in the country. Because do it yourself does well. And cooking does well. And McCormick will do well.”
