We recently published 10 Stocks Slump Amid Wall Street Cheer; 2 Hit Rock Bottom. The Simply Good Foods Company (NASDAQ:SMPL) is one of the worst performers on Thursday.

Simply Good Foods fell to an all-time low on Thursday, as investor sentiment was dampened by its swing to a net loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.

In intra-day trading, the stock dropped to its lowest price of $18.47 before trimming losses to end the day just down by 17.35 percent at $20.63 apiece.

In an updated report, The Simply Good Foods Company (NASDAQ:SMPL) said it fell to a net loss of $12.36 million from a $29.29 million net income in the same period last year.

Net sales dipped by 1.86 percent to $369 million from $376 million year-on-year, driven by a 6.9 percent headwind from lapping the extra week in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024.

For the full-year period, The Simply Good Foods Company (NASDAQ:SMPL) remained at a net income of $103.6 million, albeit lower by 25.6 percent than the $139.3 million in the full fiscal year of 2024. Net sales, on the other hand, grew by 11.5 percent to $1.45 billion from $1.33 billion year-on-year.

Looking ahead, The Simply Good Foods Company (NASDAQ:SMPL) said it expects net sales for the full fiscal year 2026 to either drop or rise by 2 percent year-on-year.

“Our outlook for fiscal year 2026 balances our long-term ambition, continued growth expectations for Quest and OWYN, and the benefits from productivity, pricing, and investments in our brands, against the two important challenges of reduced distribution for Atkins and cost pressures from inflation and tariffs,” said President and CEO Geoff Tanner.

“Even as we face these headwinds, we are taking the right actions for our portfolio, for the category, and for our company to enable sustainable growth and to create shareholder value for years to come,” he added.
