Management expects gross margin to recover to ~30% by Q4, but structural changes mean a return to 35-40% margins is unlikely.
Vital Farms NASDAQ: VITL reported second-quarter 2026 net revenue of $166 million, down 10.1% from a year earlier, as the company worked through an industry oversupply of eggs, pricing gaps with branded competitors and elevated costs tied to managing excess supply.
