MMKC.VMcCormick & Company, Incorporated

This is the voting share class of McCormick — the same company as the main class, with different influence over decisions and thinner liquidity.

The company sells spices and seasonings at retail and develops flavour blends for food manufacturers. Both halves are durable: a jar of spice is taken by habit, and a formulation locked into a customer's product is rarely changed, because changing it would change how the finished dish tastes.

The class distinction matters in practice: this one carries voting rights but trades markedly less often, so the spread is wider and the price can drift from the main class despite identical claims on profit and an identical dividend. Choosing between them deserves thought: not every holder needs a vote, while almost everyone needs liquidity.
