The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- MKC closes below its 50-day average ($48.94), and the 50-day sits below the 200-day ($53.25): on both averages the chart reads as a downtrend.
- At $48.55, MKC is 33.0% below its 1-year high of $72.41, set on February 13, 2026, and 12.3% above its 1-year low of $43.25 (October 2, 2026).
- Over the past month MKC rose 8.7%, from $44.67 to $48.55.
- MKC trades at 8.8x its last twelve months of earnings and 15.1x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 41.7% lower.
- Its P/E is 81.8% below the 48.2x median of the 2 other packaged foods companies we track (SJM, HRL).
- MKC's 30-day volatility, 33.3% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 2.1%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.67: over five years of monthly returns, MKC moved about 0.67% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
- The last session traded 0.4x MKC's average daily volume of the 30 sessions before it.
What would change the read
- A close above the 50-day average, $48.94 (+0.8%), would turn the read to a rebound; an uptrend also needs the 50-day to climb 8.8% to cross the 200-day at $53.25.
- A close above $72.41 (+49.2%) would be a new 1-year high; below $43.25 (−10.9%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for MKC, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under packaged foods among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
