Shares of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, a leading producer of snack nuts and trail mixes, plunged as much as 5.91% in intraday trading on Wednesday, August 22nd. The sell-off came after the company reported its full-year 2024 financial results, which fell short of market expectations.
According to the earnings report, John B. Sanfilippo & Son's revenue for the fiscal year 2024 increased by 6.7% to $1.07 billion compared to the previous year. However, the company's net income declined by 4.1% to $60.2 million, and its profit margin contracted from 6.3% to 5.6%, primarily due to higher expenses.
The disappointing bottom-line performance was reflected in the company's earnings per share (EPS), which dropped to $5.19 from $5.43 in fiscal year 2023. This missed analysts' expectations and likely contributed to the sharp decline in the stock's value on Wednesday.
