In other recent news, Flowers Foods reported its first-quarter earnings for 2025, revealing a slight miss on both earnings per share (EPS) and revenue forecasts. The company posted an EPS of $0.35, falling short of the expected $0.38, and revenue of $1.55 billion, which was below the anticipated $1.6 billion. This performance was attributed to challenges in the bread category and shifts in consumer spending. Concurrently, Jefferies revised its price target for Flowers Foods, lowering it from $20 to $16 while maintaining a Hold rating. The adjustment reflects the company’s near-term challenges, including tariff impacts and intensified competition in the bread market.

However, a shareholder proposal to adopt a policy for an independent board chair was not approved. Despite these developments, Flowers Foods remains focused on innovation and brand differentiation to navigate the competitive landscape. The company is also addressing tariff impacts and broader economic uncertainties, which are affecting its cost structure.
