NEUTRAL IMPACT
UniFirst's Q2 earnings per share missed estimates but showed year-over-year growth, while sales exceeded expectations and also grew compared to last year.
The miss in EPS estimates might concern some investors, potentially putting downward pressure on the stock. However, the year-over-year growth in both earnings and sales, along with sales beating estimates, could counterbalance the negative impact and suggest a neutral short-term outlook.
