DIN Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Dine Brands Global Inc. is expected to see modest net unit growth for IHOP in 2025, increasing to 0.6% from a flat 0.0% in 2024, suggesting a positive development in franchise expansion. The company anticipates the improvement in same-store sales (SSS) growth metrics, with Applebee's estimated growth improving slightly to 0.3% and IHOP expected to stabilize with an SSS guidance range of (1)% to (2)%, particularly benefiting from effective value-focused marketing strategies. Additionally, the relatively consistent off-premise sales mix and a focus on value messaging position Dine Brands to navigate challenges and capitalize on growth opportunities within its dominant franchise operations segment.
Bears say
Dine Brands Global has lowered its same-store sales (SSS) growth estimates for both Applebee's and IHOP, reflecting declining performance and heightened margin pressures, with Q1 estimates adjusted to (3.5)% and (1.0)% respectively. The company's reliance on a 100% franchised model results in low EBITDA sensitivity to SSS fluctuations, potentially undermining financial resilience amidst continued growth challenges. Additionally, risks such as deteriorating economic conditions and lower-than-expected sales from new market openings exacerbate the uncertainty surrounding the company's future unit growth trajectories, particularly beyond 2025.
