Executive Summary

HF Foods reported Q1 2026 GAAP EPS of $0.02 (vs $0.06 consensus, a 66.7% miss) and revenue of $312.0M (vs $308.5M consensus, a 1.1% beat). Revenue grew 4.5% YoY, but gross margin compressed to 16.2% from 17.1%, and adjusted EPS declined 14.3% YoY to $0.06. The stock is likely to trade down on the EPS miss and margin pressure, partially offset by revenue growth and improved operating cash flow.
