JACK Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Jack In The Box Inc. is positioning itself for growth with a planned unit increase of 2% over the coming years, which is expected to enhance its market multiple while focusing on stabilizing per-store traffic. The company's financial outlook shows a rising fiscal year 2025 consolidated unit level (UL) margin of 17.5% and an increased adjusted EBITDA estimate of $297.5 million, demonstrating improved operational efficiency and strong unit economics. Furthermore, the rise in fiscal year 2025 earnings per share (EPS) to $5.34 reflects positive trends in sales volumes and enhanced relationships with franchisees, supporting a favorable growth trajectory within the quick-service restaurant sector.
Bears say
Jack In The Box Inc. is facing a challenging financial landscape characterized by negative same-store sales (SSS) growth, with projections indicating a decline of -3% for the Jack brand in the near term and downward revisions for fiscal year 2025 estimates for both Jack and Del Taco brands. The company is grappling with significant operating cost inflation, which not only pressures profit margins but also diminishes franchisees' willingness to open new stores or invest in remodels, thereby stymying growth potential in new markets. Additionally, macroeconomic risks and increased competition are contributing to an unfavorable operating environment, further complicating the outlook by signaling potential deterioration in overall economic trends and the fast-food sector's performance.
