J&J Snack Foods' stock plummeted 5.54% on Tuesday, underperforming the broader market. The intraday sell-off was driven by concerns over the company's declining returns on capital employed (ROCE).
According to the news article, J&J Snack Foods' ROCE has fallen from 13% around five years ago to 10% currently. While the company is reinvesting funds into the business, sales growth has been stagnant in the past 12 months, suggesting that these investments have yet to contribute significantly to the bottom line.
The declining ROCE trend and the company's inability to translate its investments into sales growth have raised concerns among investors about J&J Snack Foods' ability to allocate capital effectively and generate sustainable long-term returns. This has likely contributed to the stock's underperformance and the 5.54% intraday plummet on Tuesday.
