Shares of packaged bakery food company Flower Foods (NYSE:FLO)
fell 3.6% in the morning session after the company reported second-quarter results that missed revenue expectations and lowered its full-year guidance. The bakery products company reported second-quarter revenue of $1.24 billion, which fell short of analyst forecasts of $1.27 billion, while its adjusted earnings per share of $0.30 was in line with expectations.

Flowers Foods now expects full-year revenue of approximately $5.27 billion and adjusted earnings of around $1.05 per share, both at the midpoint. This is a reduction from its previous revenue forecast midpoint of $5.35 billion. The lowered outlook reflects challenges the company is facing, including a 2.4% drop in sales volumes during the quarter as consumers bought less of its products.

Analysts suggest that direct federal backing could serve as a lifeline for the struggling chipmaker as it works to revive its business. A government stake could also bolster U.S. semiconductor leadership and national security by supporting domestic production and reducing reliance on foreign manufacturers.
