CBRL Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. is currently undergoing a transformation centered on menu innovation, improved service levels, and a strategic pricing approach, which are expected to enhance investor confidence and drive shares upward. The company has seen a significant increase in its loyalty program membership, which now includes approximately 9 million members, and it is anticipated that sales guidance for fiscal year 2026 is conservatively positioned, laying the foundation for renewed growth. Additionally, the initiation of a $100 million share repurchase plan indicates a commitment to returning capital to shareholders, which supports a positive outlook on the company’s financial performance.
Bears say
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc has significantly reduced its fiscal year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $70 to $110 million, a decrease from previous expectations of $150 to $190 million. The company has reported a decline in traffic of 7.3% for the fiscal first quarter and a worsening projection of an 11% drop for fiscal second quarter-to-date, indicating ongoing consumer challenges. Additionally, the EBITDA margin guidance has been lowered to 5.0% at the mid-point, reflecting a year-over-year decline of 140 basis points amid a sales decline of approximately 2.4%, which further reinforces a lack of financial momentum within the company.
