What this company does
Written from the business description in NATHANS FAMOUS, INC.'s annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, filed 9 June 2026. Every sentence was checked against that document before publication.
Revenue compounded at +16.4% a year over five years — but profit grew slower: net income at +12.6%, earnings per share at +12.5%.
The share count fell from 0.00B to 0.00B — the buyback concentrates the same profit into fewer slices.
Compound annual rates per period — left blank where that exact year isn't on file, the series crosses a loss, or (per-share rows) a split falls inside the window.
