MKC-VMcCormick & Company, Incorporated
Is the price fair?
Undemanding: modest expectations priced in and cheap against its own history.
Priced for a decline (~−0% a year). The price demands less than its three-year revenue growth of 4% a year, expectations look modest.
Cheap vs its own history: P/E 7.7 vs a 25.3 median over 40 quarters (−69% vs median).
Sector median 16.6× across 78 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.
Unless marked, from derived, as of May 31, 2026.
