NEW YORK, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Investors in Simply Good Foods (SMPL) lost over 18% of their holdings after the company disclosed a 9.4% year-over-year revenue decline in Q2 2026 and simultaneously cut its full-year revenue guidance from a flat midpoint to a 7-10% decline.

During the Q1 2026 earnings call on January 8, 2026, CEO Geoff Tanner stated: "I'm pleased with our Q1 performance, and I want to reiterate our confidence in our plan for the balance of the year. As a result, we are reaffirming our full-year outlook for net sales and adjusted EBITDA." On the same call, CFO Christopher Bealer specified that net-sales growth was expected in the range of negative 2% to positive 2%. The following quarter, Simply Good Foods issued a guidance cut forecasting a 7-10% revenue decline for FY 2026 -- a material departure from the outlook management had just reaffirmed one quarter ago.
In the prior quarter's call on October 23, 2025, CEO Tanner told investors: "We are confident our gross margins will improve beginning modestly in Q3 and more meaningfully into Q4." The revised FY 2026 guidance instead projected a 300-350 basis point margin decline. SMPL shares fell more than 18% as investors reacted to the gap between what management had stated and what the revised numbers showed.
