News related to:Simply Good Foods Company · 2 min read
Simply Good Foods Company, a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq, is facing legal action following a series of financial missteps and a significant decline in its stock price. The lawsuit, filed by Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC, alleges that the company failed to disclose critical information about its acquisition of OWYN (Only What You Need, Inc.) and the subsequent issues that arose.
On October 23, 2025, Simply Good Foods Company released its Q4 and year-end August 30, 2025, financial results. The company disclosed that the OWYN segment, acquired in 2024 for $280 million, had experienced a slowdown in sales growth due to a previously undisclosed product quality issue. Specifically, the company noted that a raw material sourcing decision for pea protein, implemented shortly after the OWYN acquisition, had resulted in taste and texture issues as the products aged. This led to negative product ratings and reviews, causing a decline in sales for OWYN.
The financial fallout was significant. Simply Good Foods Company’s net sales guidance for 2026 was revised downward to a range of negative 2% to positive 2%, a substantial drop from the 9% net sales growth reported in fiscal 2025. The news sent the company’s stock price plummeting by more than 17%.
Less than five months later, on April 9, 2026, the company released its Q2 2026 earnings results. OWYN’s quarterly sales had contracted by nearly 17% year-over-year. The company also announced a $187 million impairment charge against its OWYN brand intangible assets and reduced its 2026 net sales outlook to a range of negative 7% to negative 10%. This news sent the company’s stock price falling by more than 27% over a two-day trading period.
