Were there any notable changes in cost of goods sold or raw material pricing that could affect future profitability?

Answer – No explicit cost‑of‑goods‑sold (COGS) or raw‑material price details disclosed in the notice.

The press‑release you provided is simply an announcement that Unifi, Inc. (NYSE: UFI) will host a Q4‑FY25 earnings call on August 21, 2025. It contains no forward‑looking guidance, no breakdown of COGS, and no mention of raw‑material cost trends (e.g., polyester, recycled PET, or commodity‑price movements). Consequently, we cannot point to any “notable changes” in COGS or material pricing from the information given.

Trading implication: Since the material cost story is still unknown, the market will be pricing in expectations rather than hard data. Historically, Unifi’s profitability is sensitive to the price of recycled polyester (the primary input for its REPREVE® yarn) and to the cost of natural fiber substitutes. If the upcoming earnings call reveals a material uplift in COGS—e.g., higher recycled‑PET prices, increased energy costs, or tighter supply of post‑consumer plastic—margin pressure could be significant, potentially weighing on the stock. Conversely, a report of stable or decreasing input costs would support the current valuation and could be a catalyst for upside.

Actionable insight: Treat the stock as “information‑dependent.” Hold off on any large position until the Q4 earnings release (likely early‑morning on August 22, after market close) and the accompanying management commentary. Pay close attention to the COGS line in the 10‑Q and any forward‑looking guidance on material pricing. If the company reports a material COGS increase > 5% YoY or signals higher raw‑material cost outlook, consider a short‑term defensive stance (e.g., reduce exposure, set tight stops, or look for bearish technical breaks). Conversely, if COGS remain flat or improve, consider a long‑position with a focus on the stock’s short‑term momentum (e.g., buying on a pull‑back to the 20‑day EMA with a target near the recent high). In the meantime, monitor broader commodity trends (PET resin, natural gas, electricity) as they will directly shape Unifi’s margin outlook.
