Utz Brands Inc
food Hanover, PA · UTZ · Public
Utz Brands reported Q1 2026 earnings that slightly beat estimates with 2.6% net sales growth to $361.3M, though facing headwinds from a voluntary recall of Zapp's and Dirty brand potato chips due to potential salmonella contamination from a third-party seasoning supplier. The company is positioned to benefit from shifting consumer preferences toward salty snacks and targets 2026 as an inflection point with expected $60-80M adjusted free cash flow following recent supply chain investments.
Leading US manufacturer of salty snacks including potato chips, pretzels, cheese snacks, pork rinds, and party mixes. Operates manufacturing facilities primarily in Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic region. Brands include Utz, On The Border, and Golden Flake.
