CBRL Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. is expected to see an increase in shares due to successful turnaround efforts focusing on menu innovation, enhanced service levels, strategic pricing, and cost efficiency initiatives. The restaurant's momentum is further supported by a growing loyalty program and improved traffic figures, with positive indicators suggesting a return to growth following recent rebranding challenges. Additionally, the authorization of a $100 million share repurchase plan signals a commitment to returning cash to shareholders, reinforcing confidence in the company's financial health and future performance.
Bears say
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. has significantly reduced its fiscal year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance from a range of $150 to $190 million to a new range of $70 to $110 million, indicating serious operational challenges. The company reported a 7.3% decline in traffic for Fiscal 1Q26, which worsened to an 11% drop in Fiscal 2Q26 year-to-date, compounding concerns about its ongoing performance. Additionally, the expected EBITDA margin has decreased to 5.0% at the mid-point, reflecting a 140 basis points year-over-year decline, amidst an anticipated sales reduction of approximately 2.4%, which raises further doubts about the sustainability of recovery efforts.
