Tuesday, May 1, 2012, 8:43 AM P.F.Chang's China Bistro (PFCB): Q1 EPS of $0.35 misses by $0.01. Revenue of $319M (flat Y/Y) misses by $2M. Shares +30.2% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
Tuesday, May 1, 2012, 8:11 AM Shares of P.F. Chang's China Bistro (PFCB) comes off a trading halt to shoot up 30.5% premarket after the company announces that it plans to be taken private. On the watch for a possible sympathy bounce: RRGB, BOBE, JACK, CBRL, BJRI. Comment! [On the Move, M&A, Consumer]
Tuesday, May 1, 2012, 7:45 AM P.F. Chang's China Bistro (PFCB) plans to be acquired by Centerbridge Partners for $51.50 a share (29.8% premium) in a deal that will take the restaurant operator private. Under the terms of the agreement, the company can still look for a better offer over the next 30 calendar days. 4 Comments [M&A, Consumer]
Monday, April 23, 2012, 1:40 PM Shares of the The Cheesecake Factory ([[CAKE] +1.9%) shoot higher on above-average trading volume with the firm's Q1 report slated for release on Wednesday. A number of restaurants names are getting a little lift from sales numbers out from Brinker International tipping off that Chipotle and Panera's death grip on investment dollars in the sector could lighten up a bit. Gainers: PFCB +0.9%, TXRH +1.2%, DAVE +1.9%. Comment! [On the Move, Consumer]
Monday, March 5, 2012, 7:22 AM Morgan Stanley opens up a 60-day Research Tactical Idea on P.F. Chang's China Bistro (PFCB) to go along with an Equal-weight rating. Analysts see the restaurant chain's improving sales trends as helping it build momentum with traders. Comment! [Quick Ideas]
Friday, February 17, 2012, 3:39 PM P.F. Chang's China Bistro (PFCB +6%) lures the operating chief of Kona Grill (KONA -6.5%) to take the same spot at PFCB, one reason cited by Raymond James and RBC as each firm upgrades shares. The analysts also like PFCB's efforts to scale its chains down a bit to meet cost-conscious consumers, expecting real results to be seen in H2 of this year. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Thursday, February 16, 2012, 8:53 AM P.F.Chang's China Bistro (PFCB): Q4 EPS of $0.30 misses by $0.15. Revenue of $309.8M (-0.4% Y/Y) in-line. Shares +4.1% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
Tuesday, October 18, 2011, 9:36 AM Piper Jaffray's Nicole Miller Regan offers up a pair trade within the restaurant sector, issuing an upgrade on Cheesecake Factory (CAKE +1.3%) to Overweight from Neutral and downgrading P.F. Chang's (PFCB -2.1%) to Underweight from Neutral. Price target changes: CAKE $32 from $30, PFCB $24 from $33. Comment! [On the Move, Quick Ideas]
Thursday, October 6, 2011, 11:56 AM William Blair cuts its ratings on Chipotle (CMG -2.5%) and P.F. Chang’s (PFCB -1.4%), expecting food-cost pressures will slow next year’s profit growth. Near-term profit estimates on CMG “may prove too aggressive, particularly for 4Q and 1Q,” while “downward pressure on menu pricing” will hit PFCB's bottom line; higher beef costs are set to hurt both. Comment! [Consumer]
Monday, August 29, 2011, 4:56 PM Cheesecake Factory (CAKE +4.2%) and PF Chang's (PFCB +4.6%) both staged a post-Irene bounce today, after the storm's impact cause far less damage than expected. William Blair had noted on Friday that the two chains had a large percentage of their restaurant locations in the storms projected path. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Wednesday, July 27, 2011, 9:51 AM P.F. Chang's (PFCB -10%) slumps after Q2 earnings dropped 29% as the restaurant operator gets hit by a decline in guest traffic. The company slashes its full-year guidance as same-store sales continue to fall off, and announces plans to test more lower-priced items in hopes of bringing customers back. Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
Wednesday, July 27, 2011, 9:03 AM Premarket gainers: QCOR +14%. KEM +10%. NJ +10%. RFMD +6%. LVS +5%. AMZN +5%. AET +4%. BA +3%.
Losers: JNPR -20%. PFCB -11%. ILMN -9%. ALU -7%. AVL -6%. CIEN -6%. LVLT 4 GLW -5%. ING -4%. WLP -3%. HES -3%. LYG -3%. EMR -3%. STD -3%. Comment! [On the Move]
Friday, July 1, 2011, 2:05 PM Darden (DRI) +5.1%) pops after issuing strong guidance yesterday, expecting to open 80-90 new restaurants in 2012. The firm reported strong 4Q sales (+6.8% Y/Y), saying higher prices were offset by lower expenses. Darden's rosy outlook also pushes up competitors: EAT +6.2%, RT +3.6%, PFCB +3.4%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Tuesday, April 19, 2011, 10:39 AM The Alabama-based law firm that sought to force Taco Bell (YUM +0.4%) to stop calling the meat it serves "beef" says it has withdrawn its class action lawsuit. Shares are up, but more likely from a Morgan Stanley report that finds Yum Brands and some other restaurants appetizing investments. 3 Comments [Consumer]
Wednesday, January 5, 2011, 9:44 AM Restaurant stocks have lagged the broader market, despite evidence of an improving economy: MCD, BJRI, YUM, PFCB, PNRA and EAT all fell at least 1.5% yesterday. Mercenary Trader says consumers are still keeping their wallets closed, and offers charts showing how some of the stocks are “breaking down.” The group is notoriously volatile, Dave Kansas adds. 1 Comment
