DIN Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Dine Brands Global is experiencing a positive trajectory with a projected net unit growth estimate for IHOP at 0.6% for 2025, indicating a recovery from a stagnant 0.0% growth in 2024. Although Applebee's is expected to maintain a net unit growth of (2.2)%, shifts in customer perception towards value offerings, such as the "$9.99 Really Big Meal Deal," are anticipated to drive improved same-store sales (SSS) through the year, particularly in the second half. The company's strong reliance on franchise operations for revenue—which constitutes roughly three-quarters of total revenue—coupled with effective marketing strategies, positions Dine Brands favorably in the evolving restaurant landscape.
Bears say
Dine Brands Global's stock outlook is negatively impacted by declining same-store sales (SSS) growth estimates, with Q1 forecasts for Applebee's and IHOP revised down to (3.5)% and (1.0)%, respectively, indicating persistent revenue challenges. The company's reliance on a 100% franchised model means that EBITDA is highly sensitive to fluctuations in SSS growth, further exacerbating the financial risks associated with shrinking unit growth trajectories. Additionally, the anticipated decline in 2025 unit growth estimates adds to concerns regarding sustained profitability amid deteriorating economic conditions and increased competitive pressures within the industry.
