This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

Utz Brands, Inc. paid $0.40 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.06 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $14.28 that is a yield of 2.80%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast.

A dividend is cash paid out for each share. The 12-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

Utz Brands is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list.

Utz Brands, Inc. posted a net loss of $10.1 M in the Jun 2026 quarter. Full-year FY25 profit was $800 K. Over 3 years profit has grown −66.1% a year on average. That loss is 2.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $10.5 M. 7 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

Jun 2026 profit was −$10.1 M, −196.2% on a year earlier. For the full year, FY25 profit was $800 K (−95.0% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +1.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved −2.5 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −175.9% and revenue +2.0%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

Utz Brands, Inc. reported $372 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +1.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 6th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 3 years it has grown 6.8% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.4 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The last four reported quarters add to $1.5 B.

FY25 revenue was $1.4 B, +2.1% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +2.0% on average, against 6.8% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +2.0%, against +0.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising).

Utz Brands, Inc.'s operating margin was 2.2% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 2.5 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 0.3% and 4.2%. The latest quarter is within that range.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −2.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.7 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 716% of Utz Brands, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $112 M of operating cash against $800 K of profit. After $103 M of spending on assets, $9.4 M was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Utz Brands, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $257 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 6.0% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $257 M over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Utz Brands, Inc.'s P/E is 2,017.1×, about the highest it has ever been. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 116.7×, over 4.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −95.1% while the price moved +44.1%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range.

Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +4.9% a year; about −11.2% a year came from earnings growth and about +16.1 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple.

In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

Utz Brands, Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction.

There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the stock price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

Utz Brands, Inc. earned a ROE of 0% in FY25. That is up from a low of −2% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 6.5 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses.

Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. We do not have the full capital split, so ROE is the longest history we can draw here.

It comes from a 0.1% net margin and 0.52× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 0.1% net margin × 0.52× asset turnover × 2.08× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 0.1% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it.

The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 0.1% − 6.6% = −6.5 percentage points. The 6.6% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve.

Utz Brands, Inc. has total debt of $1.0 B against shareholder equity of $1.3 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.79× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.64 in FY22 to 0.77 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page.

Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Lower is safer, and the direction matters as much as the level.

6.3% of Utz Brands, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 2.7 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead.

There is no quarter-by-quarter list of owners here, so we look at short interest: the share of tradable shares held in short positions, which gain if the price falls.

It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history.

Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who has the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story.

For Utz Brands, Inc., the Z-score is 0.73. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure.

The Z-score estimates how far a company is from balance-sheet trouble. Above about 3 is safe; below about 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not used for banks and lenders.

Why it matters: a Z-score of 0.73 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk.
