Village Super Market, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Village Super Market, Inc. Quote Gross profit margin narrowed to 28.08% from 28.77% in the prior-year period. Operating and administrative expenses increased to 25.11% of sales from 24.78%, reflecting higher utility, repair and weather-related maintenance costs, increased professional-service expenses, higher insurance costs and increased employee-related expenses. Operating income fell to $8.4 million from $13.7 million a year earlier. Management highlighted the impact of Winter Storm Fern, which caused store closures at the beginning of the quarter and shifted some customer demand into the final week of the second quarter as shoppers stocked up ahead of the storm. The company noted that, excluding the storm’s estimated impact, same-store sales would have increased 1.3% in the quarter. Management also pointed to continued digital sales growth, strength in recently replaced or remodeled stores and higher sales in fresh-food departments as positive contributors. Sales growth was driven primarily by the opening of the Watchung replacement store, while comparable-store performance was pressured by storm-related disruptions, deflation in egg prices and sales cannibalization from the new location. Pharmacy sales contributed positively despite lower pricing associated with the Inflation Reduction Act. Margin performance was affected by lower patronage dividends and rebates received from Wakefern, increased warehouse assessment charges, an unfavorable product mix and higher promotional spending. On the expense side, operating leverage weakened...

Sales increased due primarily to the opening of the Watchung, NJ replacement store on April 9, 2025, partially offset by a decline in same store sales of 0.2%. Same store sales were negatively impacted by Winter Storm Fern, which resulted in store closures at the start of the third quarter, as well as a shift in demand into the final week of the second quarter as customers prepared for the storm. Excluding the estimated impact of Winter Storm Fern on the first week of the quarter, same store sales increased 1.3% in the 13 weeks ended April 25, 2026 compared to the 13 weeks ended April 26, 2025. Same store sales were also negatively impacted by deflation in egg pricing and cannibalization of existing stores from the Watchung replacement store opening, partially offset by digital sales growth, continued growth in recently replaced or remodeled stores and higher sales in fresh departments. Pharmacy sales positively impacted same store sales despite lower pricing resulting from the Inflation Reduction Act. New stores, replacement stores and stores with banner changes are included in same store sales in the quarter after the store has been in operation for four full quarters. Store renovations and expansions are included in same store sales immediately. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 28.08% in the 13 weeks ended April 25, 2026 compared to 28.77% in the 13 weeks ended April 26, 2025 due primarily to lower patronage dividends and other rebates received from Wakefern (.56%), increased warehouse assessment cha...

SPRINGFIELD, N.J., March 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of Village Super Market, Inc. (NSD:VLGEA) declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.25 per Class A common share and $0.1625 per Class B common share. The dividends will be payable on April 23, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 2, 2026. Village Super Market operates a chain of 34 supermarkets in New Jersey, New York, Maryland and Pennsylvania under the ShopRite and Fairway banners and three Gourmet Garage specialty markets in New York City.

Shares of Village Super Market, Inc. VLGEA have gained 4.7% since the company reported its earnings for the quarter ended Jan. 24, 2026. This compares to the S&P 500 Index’s -2% change over the same time frame. Over the past month, the stock moved 9.3% versus the S&P 500’s -3.1% change. Village reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings for Class A shares of $1.21, which increased from $1.14 in the year-ago period. Growth was supported primarily by stronger comparable-store performance and contributions from a recently opened replacement store. Sales increased 6.9% year over year to $641 million from $599.7 million in the comparable quarter last year. Net income rose 6% year over year to $17.9 million from $16.9 million a year earlier. Village Super Market, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Village Super Market, Inc. Quote Same-store sales rose 4.8% during the quarter, reflecting increased customer activity and demand across several categories. Digital sales were a standout contributor, with same-store digital sales increasing 15% year over year. According to the company, the surge in comparable-store sales was partly driven by significantly higher purchases in the final week of the quarter as customers stocked up ahead of Winter Storm Fern. Growth was also supported by continued performance improvements at remodeled and replacement stores, as well as stronger sales in fresh and pharmacy categories. However, the company noted that the weather-related demand created a temporary boost. Excluding the estimated impact of Winter Storm Fern, same-store sales would have increased 1.4% for the quarter compared with the same period last year. Additionally, competitive store openings and the cannibalization effect from the Watchung replacement store modestly offset overall comparable growth. Despite higher sales, Village Super Market experienced some pressure on gross margins. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, declined to 28.06% from 28.35% in the prior-year quarter. The contraction was primarily attributed to lower patronage dividends and rebates from Wakefern, an unfavorable product mix, and increased promotional spending. These pressures were partially offset by improved departmental margins and slightly lower warehouse assessment charges. Operating and administrative expenses improved slightly as a percentage of sales, declining to 23.07% from 23.2...

Same store sales increased due primarily to significantly higher sales in the last week of the second quarter of fiscal 2026 as customers prepared for Winter Storm Fern, as well as digital sales growth, continued growth in recently replaced or remodeled stores and higher fresh and pharmacy sales.

SPRINGFIELD, N.J., Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of Village Super Market, Inc. (NSD:VLGEA) declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.25 per Class A common share and $0.1625 per Class B common share. The dividends will be payable on January 22, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on January 1, 2026. Village Super Market operates a chain of 34 supermarkets under the ShopRite and Fairway names in New Jersey, Maryland, New York and eastern Pennsylvania and three specialty markets under the Gourmet Garage name in New York City.

Shares of Village Super Market, Inc. VLGEA have dipped 0.3% since the company reported its earnings for the quarter ended Oct. 25, 2025.

Village reported first-quarter 2026 earnings per share of 81 cents for Class A stock, which declined from 86 cents in the prior-year quarter. Sales of $582.6 million marked a 4.5% increase compared to $557.7 million in the same quarter of the prior year. This growth was attributed to a 2.5% rise in same-store sales and the benefit of a new replacement store in Watchung, NJ, which opened in April 2025. Despite the top-line growth, net income fell 6% to $12 million from $12.8 million a year ago. On an adjusted basis, net income declined more modestly, down 2% to $12.5 million. Village Super Market, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Village Super Market, Inc. Quote Village’s gross profit improved slightly to $165 million from $161.9 million. However, gross margin declined to 28.3% from 29% a year earlier. This decrease was primarily driven by lower patronage dividends and other rebates received from Wakefern, which shaved 0.28 percentage points off the margin. In addition, the company faced a 0.27 percentage point decline due to weaker departmental margins, a 0.10 percentage point loss from an unfavorable product mix shift, and a 0.06 percentage point impact from heightened promotional activity. On the cost side, operating and administrative expenses grew in absolute terms to $141.4 million from $137.5 million. However, as a percentage of sales, these expenses improved to 24.3% from 24.7%. After adjusting for one-time items, the figure dropped further to 24.2%. The improvement was mainly due to lower employee-related costs, increased short-term rental income, and cost savings on supplies and advertising. These benefits were partially offset by increases in professional fees and repair and maintenance spending. Depreciation and amortization expenses rose slightly to $8.4 million, reflecting capital investments made by the company. Interest expense declined year over year due to lower average outstanding debt balances, while interest income fell as a result of lower yields on variable-rate notes receivable from Wakefern and lower interest rates on invested demand...
