Jack in the Box Hits New 52-Week Low at $13.99 Amid Declining Performance

Jack in the Box, Inc., a microcap company in the Leisure Services industry, has reached a new 52-week low of USD 13.99 as of November 19, 2025. This significant decline highlights the company's ongoing struggles, with a staggering one-year performance drop of 73.55%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's positive return of 12.28% during the same period.
The company's financial metrics reveal a challenging landscape. Jack in the Box has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 9.00, indicating a low valuation relative to earnings. However, the company also reports a negative book value, which raises concerns about its long-term financial health. The return on equity is notably concerning, reflecting extreme negative figures, while the price-to-book ratio stands at -1.68.

Despite a dividend yield of 110.87%, the company's fundamentals suggest weak long-term growth potential, with operating profit growth averaging just 2.32% over the past five years. Additionally, rising raw material costs, which increased by 7.08% year-over-year, further complicate the company's financial outlook. Overall, Jack in the Box's recent performance underscores a period of significant challenges within the market.
