CBRL Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. is positioned for growth, bolstered by a strong emphasis on menu innovation, service improvements, and efficiency programs aimed at enhancing customer experience and attracting more patrons. The company is witnessing a significant increase in its loyalty program membership, with approximately 9 million members as of the latest reports, reflecting a successful strategy to drive repeat business. Additionally, despite recent challenges impacting traffic, the anticipated growth drivers and conservative sales guidance for FY26 suggest a favorable outlook for long-term financial performance.
Bears say
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. faces a challenging financial outlook, as evidenced by a projected EBITDA margin of 5.0%, which reflects a year-over-year decline of 140 basis points amid a sales drop of approximately 2.4%. Furthermore, despite announcing menu pricing adjustments between 4.0-5.0%, these increases are projected to fall short of offsetting rising commodity and wage inflation, which ranges between 2.5-3.5% and 3.0-4.0%, respectively. Additionally, the company's FY26 guidance indicates a concerning shift to a negative same-store sales figure of -0.9%, which contrasts sharply with the previous estimate of +0.8%, suggesting potential weaknesses in consumer demand.
