Why UniFirst Stock Tumbled by 3% Today

UniFirst's stock fell 3% following its Q1 fiscal 2026 earnings report. While the company beat revenue expectations at $621 million (nearly 3% YoY growth), it missed on earnings with $1.89 per share versus analyst estimates of $2.10. Net income declined 20% due to investment activities. The company reaffirmed its full-year guidance but forecasted a notable decline in annual earnings compared to 2025, which failed to inspire investor confidence.
