Divisadero Street Capital buys $6.1m in Lifeway Foods stock

Divisadero Street Capital Management, LP, a 10% owner and director of Lifeway Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:LWAY), recently acquired common stock totaling approximately $6.13 million over several days in mid-August 2026. The insider buying comes as the stock has declined roughly 17% over the past week, trading at $24.75—close to the purchase prices.

This investment comes as Lifeway Foods reported record-breaking second-quarter 2026 sales of $66.9 million, marking a 24.1% increase compared to the same period last year. Despite strong performance, the company experienced margin pressure due to rising costs in milk, resin, and transportation, resulting in a net income of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, and a gross margin of 19.5%.
