Nathan's Famous reports Q1 earnings growth and plans Hudson Valley restaurant reopening

Nathan's Famous, Inc. posted first‑quarter fiscal 2027 results on August 7, 2026, with revenue of $54.1 million, up from $47.0 million a year earlier. Net income was $8.8 million, and earnings per diluted share fell slightly to $2.14. License royalties rose to $13.6 million, driven by a 10% increase in royalties from Smithfield Foods. The company noted a 22% rise in beef costs, which reduced operating income.

Separately, Nathan's is rebuilding a presence in New York's Hudson Valley after closing its previous outlets. A new restaurant is under construction near the former booth in the Poughkeepsie Galleria, with a "coming soon" banner displayed and the location listed as "under construction" on the mall’s directory.
