NEW YORK, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Simply Good Foods (SMPL) shares dropped more than 18% in a single session after the Company reported Q2 2026 net sales of $326 million, a 9.4% year-over-year decline that fell short of Wall Street expectations.

On January 8, 2026, Simply Good Foods held its Q1 2026 earnings call. During that call, CEO Geoff Tanner stated he was "pleased with our Q1 performance" and that the Company was "reaffirming our full-year outlook for net sales and adjusted EBITDA." CFO Christopher Bealer told investors the Company "delivered a solid start to the year relative to our plan with net sales and adjusted EBITDA modestly ahead of our expectations." The following quarter, the company cut its FY 2026 revenue guidance to a 7-10% decline -- a material downward revision from the prior range of negative 2% to positive 2%.
Levi & Korsinsky is investigating whether Simply Good Foods and certain of its executives may have made materially false or misleading statements regarding the Company's financial performance and outlook. During the Q4 2025 earnings call on October 23, 2025, CEO Tanner had told investors: "We are confident our gross margins will improve beginning modestly in Q3 and more meaningfully into Q4." The subsequent guidance cut called for a 300-350 basis point margin decline for FY 2026.
