Despite promising volume growth and a recovering gross margin, I maintain a hold rating on McCormick & Co. due to limited overall revenue growth and other headwinds. 4Q24 results showed net sales of $1.8 billion, driven by volume gains, but adjusted EPS declined due to higher tax rates and operating expenses.
