Mama's Creations, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The company reported total revenues of $54.6 million, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $53 million. The metric rose 55% year over year. Growth reflected new branded-item ramps, broader customer penetration and the Bay Shore acquisition.
Gross profit increased 49.1% year over year to $13.1 million.
