John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (NasdaqGS:JBSS) is seeking at opportunities in merger and acquisitions (M&A). During the 2021 second quarter earnings conference call, Jeffrey Sanfilippo, Chief Executive Officer, said that “we always look at M&A. we're always looking at companies. Nothing that has been that important or we felt was that strategic that made sense for us at this point, or perhaps pricing wasn't right. But we are continually looking at opportunities in M&A, whether it's a new capability that we currently don't have, it's a new product platform or it's got a brand that reaches a consumer that we currently don't reach. A lot of opportunities and strategies we have in M&A, and we'll continue to look at them. Just nothing that made sense up till now”.
