Weis Markets Q3 Net Income Jumps 31.4% on Wider Gross Margin

Sunbury – November 03, 2026 -- Weis Markets, Inc. (NYSE: WMK) reported third-quarter net income of $22.21 million, up 31.4% from $16.90 million a year earlier, as a wider gross margin offset softer grocery-category sales. Earnings per share rose to $0.90 from $0.69 for the 13-week period ended September 26, 2026.

Total revenue climbs 3.0% to $1.28 billion on fuel and new stores

Revenue compared with $1.24 billion in the prior-year quarter. Higher fuel sales, reflecting both retail price inflation and more gallons sold, and sales from new stores drove the growth. Lower sales in pharmacy, dairy and produce partially offset it.

Comparable store sales rose 1.3%, but excluding fuel they fell 1.2%. CEO Jonathan H. Weis said customers "remained cautious with their spending" and continue to seek affordability and value.
