FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 12, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: FIZZ) today announced results for its third quarter ended January 31, 2026, while honoring its patriotic commitment not to pass along the full impact of tariffs to consumers: Net sales were $265 million; Gross profit of $100 million reflects a 60 basis point year-over-year margin improvement; Earnings per share increased 5% to $.44 and; Operating cash flow was $136 million and quarter-end cash grew to $314 million. "The third quarter delivered on our expectations for this marketplace and our objective of balancing volume with product pricing and margins. While volume was soft early in the quarter, January shipments were up 7% despite the effects of winter storm Fern, which disrupted shipping across the country. Initial shipments for our fourth quarter also reflect continued volume improvements over the prior year. We will continue to monitor tariff-related cost increases and, if necessary, make price adjustments designed to balance the effects on consumers with the amount absorbed by the Company," stated a company spokesperson. "Innovation remains our strategic compass as our recently released beverages expand distribution and build velocity. Our newest innovation, the ‘harmoniously combined’ PineApple CocoNut was featured to an overwhelming favorable response at Natural Products Expo West – the largest annual gathering of natural and organic products. Strawberry Peach has quickly risen to among the fastest selling LaCroix flavors, and Sunshine and PineApple CocoNut are now making their way to our retail partners along with new Shasta and Faygo ZERO Sugar products." "A recent Food Business News report identified the top consumer trends for 2026. One trend was termed ‘layers of delight’, highlighting the desire of consumers to indulge in multisensory experiences that ‘elevate moments and combine sensory richness with well-being.’ Another trend from the report is ‘beverage with a purpose’ as consumers favor products for hydration and convenience with ‘better-for-you’ formulas with no or low sugar and natural ingredients. Clearly, our largest brand, LaCroix, has these attributes and, as one of the Most Trusted Brands in America, is poised to continue its category leadership." "Over our history as a public company, our track record of long-term growth and strong cash flows h...

National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:FIZZ) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 10% in the last month. But over the last half decade, the stock has not performed well. After all, the share price is down 36% in that time, significantly under-performing the market. While the stock has risen 3.3% in the past week but long term shareholders are still in the red, let's see what the fundamentals can tell us. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement. While the share price declined over five years, National Beverage actually managed to increase EPS by an average of 2.9% per year. Given the share price reaction, one might suspect that EPS is not a good guide to the business performance during the period (perhaps due to a one-off loss or gain). Alternatively, growth expectations may have been unreasonable in the past. By glancing at these numbers, we'd posit that the the market had expectations of much higher growth, five years ago. Having said that, we might get a better idea of what's going on with the stock by looking at other metrics. In contrast to the share price, revenue has actually increased by 2.5% a year in the five year period. So it seems one might have to take closer look at the fundamentals to understand why the share price languishes. After all, there may be an opportunity.

We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between National Beverage's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price return. The TSR attempts to capture the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested) as well as any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings offered to shareholders. National Beverage's TSR of was a loss of 27% for the 5 years. That wasn't as bad as its share price retu...
