Descripción de la empresa
BJ's Restaurants, Inc. operates a network of full-service dining establishments across the United States, specializing in a curated menu that includes pizzas, craft and specialty beers, appetizers, entrées, wings, pastas, sandwiches, specialty salads, and signature Pizookie desserts. The company functions within the Consumer Cyclical sector and specifically within the Restaurants industry, positioning it as a business whose performance is closely tied to consumer discretionary spending and economic cycles. With a market capitalization of $783.45M, an annual revenue of $1.40B, and an employee base of 22,230, the entity demonstrates a significant operational footprint in the regional dining landscape. These valuation and revenue figures indicate that the company maintains a substantial scale, allowing it to leverage its brand and operational model to compete within the broader hospitality market while managing a workforce exceeding 22,000 individuals.

The company reported a revenue of $1.40B for the trailing twelve months, generating a net income of $48.81M and an EBITDA of $126.63M. The substantial gap between the $1.40B revenue and the $48.81M net income reveals a cost structure where operating expenses and taxes consume a significant portion of top-line sales before reaching the bottom line. Free cash flow stands at $33.56M, which suggests a level of financial flexibility that supports ongoing operations and capital expenditures, though the absolute amount indicates a lean cash generation profile relative to total revenue. The gross margin is 15.5%, reflecting the direct costs associated with food and beverage inventory; the operating margin of 3.7% and profit margin of 3.5% indicate that overhead costs and other operational expenses heavily impact profitability, leaving a narrow spread between total revenue and final earnings. In terms of liquidity and leverage, the company holds $23.78M in cash against $490.76M in debt, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 134.02, which characterizes a highly leveraged balance sheet. The current ratio of 0.40 further highlights potential short-term liquidity constraints, as current assets are less than half of current liabilities. Return on Equity is 13.3% and Return on Assets is 3.0%, metrics that reveal management's effectiveness in generating shareholder returns relative to equity invested, while the lower ROA indicates that the asset base is generating modest returns on a total asset basis.
Evaluación de valoración
The trailing P/E ratio is 17.11, while the forward P/E is 13.68, implying that the market expects earnings to grow in the future to justify a lower multiple on anticipated forward earnings compared to historical performance. The price-to-book ratio is 2.13, indicating that the stock trades at a premium of over twice its net asset value, suggesting investors are willing to pay significantly more than the book value per share. Alternative valuation metrics such as the price-to-sales ratio of 0.56 and an EV/EBITDA of 9.87 provide additional context, suggesting the company is valued on a revenue basis that is relatively low but trades at a moderate multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The stock has traded within a 52-week range bounded by a high of $47.02 and a low of $28.46, and without a specific current price provided in the source data, the position relative to this range cannot be precisely calculated, but the spread between the high and low illustrates the recent volatility experienced by the shares. A beta of 1.32 indicates that the stock exhibits higher volatility than the broader market, moving 32% more than the market index on average during periods of fluctuation.
Growth & Income
Revenue growth year-over-year is 3.2%, whereas earnings growth year-over-year is N/A, indicating that while sales are expanding, the specific rate of earnings expansion is not currently quantified in the available data. As a non-dividend payer with a dividend yield of N/A and a payout ratio of 0.0%, the company does not distribute cash to shareholders, instead reinvesting earnings into business operations, store expansion, or debt reduction. This approach to capital allocation prioritizes internal growth initiatives and balance sheet management over providing immediate income streams to investors. The overall growth and income profile presents a scenario of moderate revenue expansion without current income distribution, relying on potential future earnings growth to drive share value appreciation rather than dividend yields.
