DIN Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Dine Brands Global Inc. is poised for positive growth, with a projected net unit growth of 0.6% for IHOP in 2025, a notable improvement from 0.0% in 2024, indicating a recovery trajectory. Furthermore, the company anticipates positive same-store sales (SSS) growth trends, particularly in the second half of 2025, driven by successful promotional strategies like aggressive value messaging. The steady off-premise mix of approximately 21.6% at Applebee's and 20.4% at IHOP suggests resilience in consumer demand, reinforcing a favorable outlook for the company's franchise operations segment, which constitutes the majority of its revenue.
Bears say
Dine Brands Global Inc. is projected to experience a decline in same-store sales (SSS) growth for both its Applebee's and IHOP brands, with revised estimates indicating negative growth of (3.5)% for Applebee's in Q1 and (1.0)% for IHOP, along with a reduction in long-term SSS growth expectations for 2025. The company's heavily franchised model limits its EBITDA sensitivity to fluctuations in SSS growth, indicating a persistent challenge in driving revenue despite the company's reliance on franchise royalties for approximately 75% of total revenue. Additionally, there are significant risks associated with deteriorating economic conditions, unanticipated performance in new market openings, and changing competitive dynamics within the restaurant industry, further contributing to the negative outlook on the stock.
