J&J Snack Foods Corp. (NASDAQ: JJSF) shares tumbled 5.36% in after-hours trading on Monday, following the company's fiscal first-quarter earnings report that missed Wall Street expectations.
The snack food maker reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.33 for the quarter ended December 28, 2025, significantly below the consensus analyst estimate of $0.59 per share. While revenue increased 4.1% year-over-year to $362.6 million, slightly beating expectations, profit declined due to higher input costs and an unfavorable sales mix that offset pricing actions.
CEO Dan Fachner acknowledged the near-term challenges but expressed confidence in the company's ability to improve profitability in the coming quarters through additional pricing measures and supply chain efficiencies. J&J Snack also expects a stronger slate of upcoming movie releases in 2025 to boost sales at movie theaters, a key market for its products.
