Consumer staples stocks offer generational-quality entries in 2026, and none more so than McCormick & Company (NYSE: MKC).
The main criticism has long been McCormick's persistently high valuation, typically at the high end of the consumer discretionary range, creating a hurdle for value-conscious investors—but that hurdle is not present this year. Trading at approximately 15x its current-year earnings forecast, the stock is as cheap as it's going to get, and a robust recovery could lie ahead.
