About this page

Shares outstanding are taken from The J. M. Smucker Company’s 10-Q dated July 31, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

Smucker Company's shareholder meeting held August 13, 2025, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 828 asset managers reported how they voted on 11 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 7,420 separate fund positions.
