The Simply Good Foods Company (NASDAQ:SMPL) develops, markets, and sells nutritional food and snacks, and is well positioned to take advantage of the secular trend toward healthy snacking. The stock lagged in the quarter as the company indicated that current quarter sales growth would slow from recent robust levels. A combination of difficult year-ago comparisons and retailers reducing inventory levels are driving the temporary slowdown in growth.”
