POSITIVE IMPACT
UniFirst reported a positive earnings surprise with a 9.17% beat on EPS and a significant year-over-year revenue increase, which could lead to a positive short-term impact on its stock price.
Historically, stocks tend to react positively to earnings beats. However, UniFirst's stock dropped after the last earnings beat, indicating that market expectations may have already been high or other factors influenced the stock price. The positive earnings report could still lead to short-term optimism among investors, but the previous quarter's reaction suggests caution.
