Excerpt from the InvestorGuide.com Stock of the Day on 8/21/2009

Although at times it has seemed like the entire economy has been suffering in recent months, there have been some sectors which have prevailed while others faltered. Discount retailers such as Wal-Mart (WMT: Charts, News, Offers) have received a boost from consumers who were looking for bargains on their everyday purchases, and food manufacturers have been able to benefit from a change in behavior as well, as many consumers have opted for less eating out, and more cooking at home. J.M. Smucker was one of the main companies in the spotlight today, to see if its earnings report could continue a positive trend seen in the processed food industry.

Analysts had been predicting that Smucker would be announcing positive earnings for the first quarter, and Smucker passed the test with flying colors.

After removing some one-time costs for restructuring and other activities, the company's earnings worked out to 92 cents per share, significantly above analysts' estimates of 80 cents per share.

Well, based on the earnings report announced by General Mills this morning, the answer seemed pretty clear, at least for General Mills. So, in which direction are sales trending, and why? More >
