Description: JJSF J & J Snack Foods January 13, 2026
J&J Snack Foods Corp. (NASDAQ:JJSF) manufactures, markets, and distributes a broad portfolio of snack foods and frozen beverages across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The business is organized into three segments-Food Service, Retail Supermarkets, and Frozen Beverages-and sells branded items such as SUPERPRETZEL pretzels, DIPPIN’DOTS frozen novelties, ICEE slush drinks, and HOLA! churros, as well as a range of private-label products.
Key operational metrics show the company generated roughly $2.3 billion in revenue in FY 2023, with an operating margin near 13% and free cash flow exceeding $200 million, reflecting strong pricing power in a sector where discretionary snack spending remains resilient despite modest inflation pressures. Growth is driven by expanding on-premise channels (stadiums, theme parks, and fast-casual concepts) and by leveraging its machine-sales business to lock in recurring equipment-service revenue.
Sector-wide, the packaged-foods industry is benefiting from a secular shift toward convenient, on-the-go snacking and from premium-flavor innovation, trends that align with J&J’s product mix and its ability to quickly launch new SKUs through its extensive broker-distribution network.
