The Chefs’ Warehouse Inc (NASDAQ:CHEF) reported its second-quarter 2025 financial results, delivering a mixed performance relative to analyst expectations. The company, a distributor of specialty food products, posted revenue of $1.03 billion, slightly below the consensus estimate of $1.04 billion. However, earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.52, surpassing the forecasted $0.47.
The slight revenue shortfall suggests softer-than-expected sales, possibly due to macroeconomic pressures or shifts in foodservice demand. However, stronger profitability, as reflected in the EPS beat, indicates effective cost management or improved margins.
Following the earnings release, CHEF’s pre-market trading showed a notable gain of +8.84%, signaling investor optimism, likely driven by the earnings beat. This contrasts with the stock’s recent performance, which saw a -3.9% decline over the past week and a -3.5% drop over the past month, suggesting that the market had been cautious ahead of the report.
Looking ahead, analysts project:
The absence of an explicit outlook in the press release means investors will rely on these estimates to gauge future performance. The strong pre-market reaction suggests confidence in CHEF’s ability to maintain profitability despite revenue challenges.
