This is a sound company with good economics. They have great products and are entering some very large overseas markets.

Spices can you get more boring than that. Steady value allow dividend to reinvest and you will be happy in down markets.

Had a good quarter. Year of year pretty good. No reason for 4th quarter to be bad if anything will be better than expected according to confrence call.

Upthumb. Good boring company. Brand name. Good cash flow. Good payout. Low 5 year growth rate of 5%. Nominal debt ratio. Good steady investment.

Great brands, great market share. This well run business will benefit from global growth and sourcing. They will also make strategic acquisitions. In short, it generates oodles of cash flow and most importantly management has shown it won't waste that cash. They will reinvest it at high rates or pay it back in dividends.

if you eat food, chances are you routinely consume a McCormick product. About as close to a monopoly as legally permissible

I go to the supermarket and it seems their products are the only ones in the spice section. Slow steady performer should continue to gain market share. Should be a cornerstone equity in every portfolio.

Leader in its industry, consitently profitable and well run. Top brands. Not glamorous but a steady equity with a decent divident history and yield. An excellent long term addition to a conservative portfolio.

McCormick's dividend yield is one of the industry's best. It has consistently (with the exception of 2008) beat the S&P. Although it will "meet" expectations this year in both growth and yield, if currency exchange rates become more positive then it will "exceed" expectations.

3/5/09 Pitch: Upthumb. Earnings 3/24/09. Company has high debt load, good growth, negative free cash flow. Hasn't warned. Still affirming. Believe it will beat the S&P unless short-term financing becomes a problem. But scaling back capital expenditures on expansion is an option to deal with that.
Past trades:
9/18/08 Pitch: Upthumb. Earnings 9/25/08, 8:00 AM Everyone needs spices. They have a great product for a declining economy. Closed 10/7/08 @ $38.39 for +7.05 points.

Has control of over 50% of the market, is twice the size of nearest competitor and has stayed well ahead of S&P 500 during the latest Credit Crunch. Only way for this has to be back to previous heights. :-)
