The Vanguard Group's Schedule 13G Filing for The J. M. Smucker Co.
This filing is an amendment to a previous Schedule 13G filing by The Vanguard Group, Inc. regarding its beneficial ownership of common stock in The J. M. Smucker Co. The amendment, designated as Amendment No. 16, was filed on March 27, 2026, with an event date of March 13, 2026. The filing indicates that The Vanguard Group, including its subsidiaries and managed accounts, holds shares in The J. M. Smucker Co. The report details that while The Vanguard Group, Inc. previously held a significant percentage of shares (11.67%), following an internal realignment on January 12, 2026, beneficial ownership of certain securities is now reported separately by its subsidiaries and business divisions. Consequently, The Vanguard Group, Inc. no longer reports beneficial ownership over these disaggregated securities. The filing asserts that the securities were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of influencing the control of the issuer. Specifically, item 5 indicates ownership of 5% or less, and item 6 states that no other person has an interest exceeding 5%.
