Did the company provide any guidance for Q3 or full‑year 2025 earnings and revenue?

Guidance Answer:

The Flowers Foods second‑quarter release does not contain any explicit outlook for Q3 2025 or for the full‑year 2025 earnings and revenue. The press release focuses on the 12‑week quarter results (e.g., net‑sales growth of 1.5% versus the prior‑year quarter) and provides operational highlights, but there is no forward‑looking guidance disclosed.

Trading Implications:

Because the company left the upcoming quarter and full‑year outlook undefined, the market will likely price in its own expectations based on historical trends and the broader bakery‑segment dynamics. The modest 1.5 % sales increase and any marginal earnings improvement suggest a “hold‑or‑buy‑on‑dip” stance for the stock, especially given the current modest upside in the sector and relatively neutral sentiment (20). Technically, FLO is trading near its 50‑day moving average with modest upside momentum; a breakout above the recent high (~$86) could trigger a short‑term rally, while a break below the 200‑day trend line (~$78) may trigger a defensive sell. In the absence of guidance, watch for analyst updates or macro‑data (e.g., consumer‑spending trends) that could fill the guidance gap and drive price action.
