Denny's (DENN) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Denny's Corp experienced mixed same-store sales (SSS) growth, with a 1.0% increase for its company units in January, contrasting with a decline of 0.7% for franchised units, while Keke's Breakfast Cafe showed a robust 6.2% growth. Although the company has lowered its 2025 guidance due to choppy quarterly SSS trends and increased general & administrative expenses impacting EBITDA, it maintains a hopeful outlook for improvement as it implements new value offerings. Given the potential for catalysts to drive healthier sales and the global expansion beyond the primary revenue sources in the USA and Canada, prospects for Denny's stock appear optimistic.
Bears say
Denny's Corp faces a challenging outlook as it experiences declining system-wide same-restaurant sales (SSS), with the first quarter of FY2025 projected to fall below its low-end guidance, indicating a potential decrease of over 2%. The company's recent adjusted EPS of $0.14 fell short of the consensus estimate of $0.15, and this slight EBITDA decline has been attributed to lower restaurant margins amidst weakening sales trends. Furthermore, management's acknowledgment of evolving consumer sentiment and the downward revision of EBITDA estimates for FY2025 and FY2026 further compound the negative financial outlook for Denny's stock.
