NATH|EPS $0.68|Rev $35.1M|Net Income $2.8M

Nathan’s Famous, Inc. reported mixed fourth-quarter 2026 results, with revenue climbing double digits even as profitability declined sharply from the prior year. The foodservice company posted diluted EPS of $0.68 for the quarter, down 34.0% from the $1.03 reported in Q4 2025. Bottom-line profit came in at $2.8M as the company navigated a challenging operating environment.

Revenue totaled $35.1M for the quarter, up 13.9% from $30.8M in Q4 2025. The branded product program drove the topline expansion, generating $23.9M in revenue and leading all segments with 19.2% year-over-year growth. The branded program, which licenses the Nathan’s Famous name and products to retailers and foodservice operators, remained the primary engine of the company’s sales performance.

The quarter’s results highlight the divergence between revenue momentum and margin pressure facing the iconic hot dog brand. While the company successfully expanded its branded product footprint, the steep EPS decline suggests either rising costs, operational headwinds, or investments that pressured profitability during the period.

Nathan’s Famous operated 23 franchised locations at quarter end as it continued balancing its restaurant footprint with its broader licensing and product distribution strategy across the United States and international markets.
