Monday, April 29, 2:27 PM McDonald's (MCD +1.5%) and Dunkin' Donuts (DNKN +0.4%) are leading a pack of restaurant chains that are extending hours of operation in order to help pump up revenue. In some cases, the plan is pitting some companies against their own franchisees that are somewhat convinced the wee midnight to early breakfast hours aren't unprofitable. Analysts say it depends on the brand. What works for Taco Bell, Denny's, or White Castle might not work for the sector as a whole. 4 Comments [Consumer]
Friday, April 12, 9:51 AM Restaurant sales trends improved in March but remain "fragile," according to a new report from Black Box Intelligence. The sector saw a same-store sales increase of 0.5% during the month compared to February’s decline of 5% - while traffic decreased 2% compared to a 4.2% drop in February. Comment! [Consumer]
Wednesday, April 10, 2:17 PM Restaurant visits by parties of adults grew by 1% last year to end four consecutive declines in the category but visits with children in tow showed flat growth once again, according to tracking from the NPD Group. A tripping point for the sector has been the lack of growth in visits by parties with kids. What to watch: Analysts see increased promotional activity sneaking in on the industry's margins. 5 Comments [Consumer]
Monday, April 8, 9:42 AM There's no quit in activist investor Sardar Biglari in his bid to win proxy fights against Cracker Barrel (CBRL +0.4%). In an interview, Biglari says his firm will outlast "whoever we need to outlast" in order to push through changes and land board representation. But is it all hot air? In a twist of irony, dealReporter notes Biglari is fighting board issues of his own at Biglari Holdings which may keep him busy Comment! [Consumer]
Friday, April 5, 10:40 AM A strike by fast food workers in New York City could have broad implications with the group's lofty goal to see a 107% pay raise up to $15 per hour. What to watch: Though historically the high turnover rate in the QSR industry has kept labor disruptions to a minimum, unions of foodservice workers have strengthened since 2009 and could take a small bite out of the sector's margins. 10 Comments [Consumer]
Monday, March 25, 2:30 PM Restaurant blues: The consensus estimate of economists for consumer spending growth in February is for a 0.6% gain after the measure rose 0.2% in January but don't expect restaurants to report strong numbers for Q1. Inside tracking and guidance warnings from key companies indicate that the sector is feeling the pressure of higher payroll taxes. Major chains also face a tough period of comparable with last year's winter much milder on average in the U.S. 4 Comments [Consumer]
Monday, March 4, 9:17 AM Cracker Barrel Old Country Store (CBRL) declares $0.50/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 2.63%. For shareholders of record Apr. 19. Payable May 06. Ex-div date Apr. 17. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
Tuesday, February 26, 7:26 AM More on Cracker Barrel's (CBRL) FQ2: Comparable store restaurant sales rose 3.3% on a mild boost in traffic and a 2.6% higher average ticket price. The company sees FQ3 EPS falling in a range of $0.90 to $0.95. CBRL +1.9% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Consumer]
Tuesday, February 26, 7:07 AM Cracker Barrel (CBRL): Q4 EPS of $1.43 beats by $0.18. Revenue of $702.7M (+4.4% Y/Y) beats by $8.64M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
Tuesday, February 26, 12:05 AM Notable earnings before Tuesday’s open: AG, AKRX, AMED, AMT, AUXL, AZO, BMO, BYD, CBRL, CIE, CMLP, CRZO, ECL, EXPD, GTI, HD, HFC, M,MFA, PCS, RRD, RSH, SKS, SPRD, SRE, THC, TSL, UNFI, UTHR Comment! [Earnings]
Monday, February 25, 5:30 PM Notable earnings before Tuesday’s open: AG, AKRX, AMED, AMT, AUXL, AZO, BMO, BYD, CBRL, CIE, CMLP, CRZO, ECL, EXPD, GTI, HD, HFC, M,MFA, PCS, RRD, RSH, SKS, SPRD, SRE, THC, TSL, UNFI, UTHR Comment! [Earnings]
Friday, February 22, 11:02 AM Sardar Biglari tells Cracker Barrel (CBRL +0.3%) where it can stick the $300M it has earmarked to buy him out, calling for a lush special dividend to shareholders. Those looking for an end to the dysfunctional battle at the restaurant operator will have to wait a little bit longer. Comment! [Consumer]
Friday, February 22, 8:50 AM The restaurant sector is on watch after a pre-earnings warning from Darden Restaurants (DRI) and a harsh downgrade on Wendy's (WEN) sets a negative tone. The picture being painted for 2013 is starting to get pretty consistent - margin pain and soft traffic trends. Other things to watch in 2013 for the sector: 1) The impact of higher payroll taxes. 2) The coming costs of the Affordable Care Act. 3) The push to raise the minimum wage. 4) Which chains can succeed in China and India? 5 Comments [Consumer]
Friday, February 15, 4:58 PM Cracker Barrel (CBRL +2.1%) confirmed it offered to buy out Biglari Holdings' (BH +2.1%) stake at market price (~$300M) to avoid the expense and distraction of a third potential proxy battle. But Sardar Biglari, owner of a ~19% stake and has unsuccessfully fought to gain a seat on CBRL's board, rejected the notion, saying he intends to be a long-term shareholder. Comment! [Consumer]
Wednesday, February 13, 10:14 AM Margin pain on the horizon: Restaurants could get squeezed this year from a combination of higher commodity costs and frugal consumers, according to AlixPartners. Though traffic is forecast to rise 3%, the average ticket is expected to decline 4.7% with coupons, promotions, and discounts gaining favor. Chains that are expected to ride out the expected tough environment are those that can deliver healthy food fast. Chipotle (CMG -1.8%), privately-held Subway, and Panera (PNRA -1.5%) fit the bill. 6 Comments [Consumer]
Friday, February 1, 6:50 AM Kraft Foods (KRFT) sues Cracker Barrel (CBRL) after the restaurant chain starts to sell branded products outside of its restaurants and stores. The move is a violation of a market separation agreement between the two companies, according to a court filing from Kraft. Comment! [Consumer]
