J&J Snack Foods Q2 net sales fall 1% to $356.1 million; EPS drops 64% to $0.25
J&J Snack Foods reported fiscal second-quarter 2025 results for the quarter ended March 29, 2025. Net sales fell 1.0% to $356.1 million, and diluted earnings per share dropped 64% to $0.25, as weak theater traffic, the end of a churro limited-time offer and cost inflation weighed on results. Management said it expects earnings to improve in the second half, but the filing gives no numeric outlook.
