The Score is a weekly review of the biggest stock moves and the news that drove them.

J.M. Smucker

J.M. Smucker is struggling with coffee inflation and shoppers' weak appetite for snacks.

The maker of Folgers coffee, Jif peanut butter and Smucker's jams posted lower fourth-quarter sales and swung to a loss. Its fiscal-year outlook also missed Wall Street's forecast.

The company said that while coffee sales increased in the fourth quarter, its business is contending with record costs, and its Hostess brand is on weak footing as shoppers spend less on snacks.

J.M. Smucker plans to raise prices for coffee again in August, following an increase in May. Chief Executive Mark Smucker said the company aims to boost Hostess' performance by simplifying the portfolio, reducing costs and implementing more competitive pricing.

J.M. Smucker shares plummeted 16% Tuesday.

General Motors

General Motors is spending big to produce more cars in the U.S.

The carmaker plans to invest $4 billion in domestic manufacturing plants over two years, as the company looks to reduce its exposure to tariffs imposed by President Trump.

The investment will give the company the ability to assemble more than two million vehicles a year in the U.S., and it could help America's largest automaker defray up to $5 billion in annual costs from tariffs.

GM is one of the biggest importers of vehicles, manufacturing nearly half of the vehicles it sells in the U.S. in foreign assembly plants.

GM shares rose 1.9% Wednesday.

Warner Bros. Discovery

A few years ago, Discovery agreed to combine forces with AT&T's WarnerMedia division to become Warner Bros. Discovery. Now, the entertainment giant is splitting up.

The conglomerate plans to separate into two publicly traded companies. One will house its cable networks, including CNN, TNT and TBS; the other will contain its HBO Max streaming service, movie studio and television-production business.

The separation undoes much of the tumultuous 2022 merger. Several thousand employees have been laid off over the last three years, and the company has worked to cut costs and manage the staggering debt it took on to close the deal.

Warner shares ended 3% lower Monday.

Oracle

Oracle's latest earnings supercharged its stock on Thursday.

The cloud-services company late Wednesday posted higher-than-expected quarterly results and expects "dramatically higher" revenue growth for fiscal 2026, which started this month.

Chief Executive Safra Catz said the company now expects $67 billion in revenue for the financial year ahead, which would be a 16% jump from the prior year and more than $1 billion higher than previously estimated.

The higher growth rates are expected to be driven by both Oracle's cloud applications and cloud infrastructure businesses, executives said.

Oracle shares jumped 13% Thursday.

Boeing

The crash of an Air India flight to London has marred the safety record of one of Boeing's bestselling jets.

The Boeing 787-8, carrying 242 people, crashed shortly after takeoff in western India Thursday. One passenger survived; as of Friday, more than 260 people were confirmed dead. An investigation into the crash is focusing on the plane's engine thrust, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The accident comes as Boeing began to emerge from the fallout of a series of crises in recent years, including last year's incident when a 737 MAX door plug fell off during a flight.

Since then, Boeing has faced massive financial losses, production delays and regulatory scrutiny.

Boeing shares fell 4.8% Thursday.

Exxon Mobil

Israel's attack on Iran sent stock indexes falling Friday, while oil prices and energy shares surged.

The strikes targeted Tehran's nuclear facilities and military leadership, Israel said. The attack prompted a drone-strike response from Iran and stoked fears of a regional conflict that could disrupt global energy flows.

President Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he and his team were aware of Israel's plans to attack Iran.

Defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin and RTX also rallied following the attack. Israel relies on Lockheed Martin for its primary attack jet.

Exxon Mobil shares ended 2.2% higher Friday.
