Weis Markets remains a safe, steady, but uninspiring stock, delivering low-single-digit revenue growth and stable margins, but underperforming the S&P. Capital allocation continues to disappoint, with cash used for related-party share buybacks rather than rewarding minority shareholders through dividends or open-market repurchases. Q2 results showed resilient core grocery and pharmacy growth, but margin compression and higher costs weighed on profitability, with little near-term upside expected.

Weis Markets (WMK 5.37%), a regional supermarket operator with 199 stores across the Mid-Atlantic, reported its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 on August 6, 2025. Weis Markets delivered GAAP revenue growth and higher GAAP earnings per share in Q2 2025.

Weis Markets is a conservative, family-run grocer with a strong balance sheet, consistent dividends, and a focus on steady, low-risk growth. Revenue and same-store sales growth are modest, with most expansion coming from small acquisitions and organic growth in core Mid-Atlantic markets. Capital allocation is cautious, with limited buybacks and slow dividend growth, despite ample free cash flow and investment income outperforming core operations.
