The ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF (NOBL) has underperformed the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) year-to-date, but November shows a reversal. Several Dividend Aristocrats, including CAH, CAT, CHRW, and ALB, have posted double-digit gains in 2025, while others lag behind.

The J. M. Smucker Company is upgraded to 'hold' as coffee tariff relief should drive margin recovery in the coming quarters. SJM's Q2 showed persistent margin pressure despite 3% revenue growth, with coffee price hikes unable to fully offset tariff costs. Pet food and frozen handheld segments remain weak, while deleveraging remains a priority due to elevated debt from past M&A.

J.M. Smucker on Tuesday forecast annual profit below analysts' estimates as a surge in coffee costs is expected to squeeze its margin, sending shares of the food maker down 3%.
