Latest FIZZ news & analysis

National Beverage: Hard To Downgrade When Revenues Could Show Growth Again

Seeking Alpha · 16 Sept 2026negative

National Beverage Corp. reported Q1 2027 revenue of $330.7M, its first year-on-year growth since Q1 2026. However, gross margin fell to 35%, EPS declined from $0.60 to $0.50, and a $3.25/share special dividend sharply reduced shareholder equity.

Why it matters — FIZZ watchers would note the return of revenue growth but must weigh deteriorating margins, lower EPS, and the equity impact of the special dividend.

Why National Beverage Stock Dropped, Then Popped

The Motley Fool · 11 Sept 2026negative

National Beverage missed on earnings, causing its stock to drop before subsequently popping. Shares of the LaCroix sparkling water company are feeling margin pressure as Trump tariffs eat into profits.

Why it matters — A FIZZ watcher would care because an earnings miss and tariff-driven margin pressure directly affect the company's profitability outlook.

National Beverage Posts Downbeat Q1 Results, Joins Zumiez, Adobe And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower In Friday's Pre-Market Session

Benzinga · 11 Sept 2026negative

National Beverage Corp. reported downbeat fiscal first-quarter results, and its shares moved lower in Friday's pre-market session alongside other large stocks. The report came as U.S. stock futures were higher, with the Dow futures gaining around 250 points.

Why it matters — FIZZ watchers would care because the company's quarterly results fell short of expectations, driving its stock lower in pre-market trading.

National Beverage Corp. Reports First Quarter Earnings

Business Wire · 10 Sept 2026negative

National Beverage Corp. reported first-quarter results for the period ended August 1, 2026, with net sales of $331 million, a gross margin of 35% reflecting elevated input costs, and earnings per share of $0.50. The company held $107 million in cash after paying a $304 million special dividend on July 30, 2026, and noted that net sales were negatively impacted by consumer sentiment and tariffs.

Why it matters — FIZZ watchers will track how elevated input costs and tariff-related hits to consumer sentiment are pressuring the company's sales and margins in the current period.
