During the Company's earnings call, Marzetti further disclosed that it was lapping a prior-year pipeline build for Chick-fil-A sauces in the club channel and that, after evaluating purchasing behavior, the Company realized it had sold consumers approximately a year's worth of supply of Chick-fil-A sauce. On this news, the price of Marzetti shares declined by $8.16 per share, or approximately 7%, from $124.38 per share on May 4, 2026 to close at $116.22 on May 5, 2026.</p>  <p align="justify"><strong>What Should I Do?</strong></p>  <p align="justify">At this stage, no lawsuit has been filed.
