No officer or director trades were reported for the past 30 days. The most recent before that:

Sep 1, 20263 executives had 4.2K shares ($547K) withheld by the company for taxes (not a market sale). That is between 3.1% and 7.9% of each person's total stake held that day.

"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Is this normal? More than usual: about 1.7x the 5-year average. 5 insiders sold; the average is 6 a year. Year by year

Two officers sold $15.5M with no disclosed plan: Mark Smucker ($12.7M) and Tucker Marshall ($2.8M). The filings don't state a reason.Mark Smucker: largest such sale, Aug 31, 2026 · Tucker Marshall: largest such sale, Aug 28, 2026

Percentages cover 6 of 18 officers and directors. 12 are left out

Left out: Mark Smucker (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Tucker Marshall (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Jay Henderson (most holdings were last confirmed in 2017); Kirk Perry, Dawn Willoughby, Mercedes Abramo, Katherine Williams, Bruce Chung and David Singer (held no vested shares at the start); Susan Chapman-Hughes and Jodi Taylor (most holdings were last confirmed in 2020); Jonathan Johnson III (most holdings were last confirmed in 2022).
Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is 100% of that person's own stake; not comparable between people. The stake is the vested shares held at the start of the period (Oct 9, 2025); the gold part is what they sold.

Common questions

Is the J.M. Smucker Company CEO selling stock?

Yes. Mark Smucker sold 98K shares ($12.7M) in the past 12 months, none of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are J.M. Smucker Company insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 0% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 100% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any J.M. Smucker Company insiders buying?

Yes. 1 officer or director reported 1 purchase in the past 12 months (Form 4 code P, which includes private purchases).

How much of their stake did J.M. Smucker Company insiders sell?

About 0.9% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. That covers the 12 months to Oct 9, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

17 of 18 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (13 exactly, 4 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 1 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on that row explains why. Percentages cover 6 of 18 officers and directors. Left out: Mark Smucker (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Tucker Marshall (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Jay Henderson (most holdings were last confirmed in 2017); Kirk Perry, Dawn Willoughby, Mercedes Abramo, Katherine Williams, Bruce Chung and David Singer (held no vested shares at the start); Susan Chapman-Hughes and Jodi Taylor (most holdings were last confirmed in 2020); Jonathan Johnson III (most holdings were last confirmed in 2022). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$17.6M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $17.6M across 137,821 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

No plan disclosed · $17.6M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $12.7M of it is Mark Smucker. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Mark Smucker, Aug 31, 2026

Taxes

22,202 shares ($2.6M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Purchases · 1 buyer (1 trade)

1 officer or director bought shares in this period, in 1 trade(Form 4 code P). Across all their filings on record there are 9 purchase trades.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Known gaps and uncertainty1 insider whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

Mark Smucker: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of 20,867 shares). Balance changed with no matching transaction and no footnote: +19,377 shares on Jun 11, 2026 (Trust). Filing, Jun 11, 2026

Tucker Marshall: minor difference of 47 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Robert Ferguson: minor difference of 12 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Jeannette Knudsen: minor difference of 253 shares. Small increase from a 401(k) plan.

Jill Penrose: minor difference of 133 shares. Small increase from a 401(k) plan.

Inferred rename: "Spouse" is treated as the same holder as "Trustee Fbo Wife's Estate", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (100,000 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Grand-daughter" is treated as the same holder as "Granddaughter", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (300 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "GRAT (II)" is treated as the same holder as "GRAT (2020)", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (30,000 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Son, M. J. Eberthardt" is treated as the same holder as "Grandson, M. J. Eberthardt", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (25 shares). Old name, new name

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology1,645 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,645 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for J.M. Smucker Company (SEC CIK 91419) from Jul 1, 2003 to Oct 2, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
