Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ:JACK Misses Q3 2025 Revenue and EPS Estimates, Shares Drop 7% After-Hours
Jack in the Box Inc. reported its third-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings, falling short of analyst expectations on both revenue and earnings per share (EPS). The company posted revenue of $333.0 million, below the consensus estimate of $347.3 million, while adjusted EPS came in at $1.02, significantly lower than the expected $1.19. The market reacted negatively, with shares declining approximately 7% in after-hours trading.
The immediate after-hours sell-off suggests investor disappointment, particularly given the broader challenges in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) sector. Over the past month, JACK shares had already declined by 14.3%, reflecting weakening sentiment ahead of earnings. The latest results reinforce concerns around declining traffic, inflationary pressures, and operational headwinds.
Management provided updated full-year guidance, which includes:
Analysts had projected full-year revenue of $1.504 billion and EPS estimates closer to the higher end of the company’s range. The guidance implies continued pressure, though cost-saving initiatives under the "JACK on Track" plan may help stabilize margins.
Jack in the Box’s Q3 results reflect ongoing struggles with sales erosion and margin compression, exacerbated by inflationary costs. While management is taking steps to streamline operations, the market’s reaction indicates skepticism about a near-term turnaround.
