企業概要

This entity functions within the Consumer Cyclical sector, specifically under the Restaurants industry, which categorizes its performance as sensitive to consumer discretionary spending patterns and economic cycles. The company commands a market capitalization of $2.93B and generates annual revenue of $3.75B, employing a workforce of 48400 individuals to execute its multi-location business model. These valuation and revenue figures indicate that the corporation holds a substantial scale within the casual dining landscape, positioning it as a significant player capable of leveraging economies of scale while navigating the competitive landscape of the foodservice industry.
財務健全性
The company reported a total revenue of $3.75B over the trailing twelve months, with a net income of $148.43M and an EBITDA of $333.16M, illustrating a structural gap where significant operational costs reduce the bottom-line profitability relative to the top-line sales volume. The firm generated free cash flow of $118.93M, which reflects its ability to convert earnings into cash reserves and supports financial flexibility for capital allocation without relying solely on external financing. Profitability efficiency is further detailed by a gross margin of 40.4%, an operating margin of 7.0%, and a profit margin of 4.0%, where the widening disparity between gross and net margins highlights the substantial impact of operating expenses, depreciation, and other costs on the final profit. On the liability side, the company holds $215.73M in cash against total debt of $2.13B, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 488.02%, which signifies a highly leveraged balance sheet rather than a conservative capital structure. Liquidity is constrained by a current ratio of 0.58, indicating that current assets are insufficient to cover current liabilities without relying on cash flow generation or asset liquidation. Return on Equity stands at 33.7% while Return on Assets is 4.5%, revealing that management is highly effective at generating shareholder returns from equity but that the overall asset base yields a lower return, consistent with the capital-intensive nature of the restaurant industry.
バリュエーション評価
Valuation metrics show a trailing P/E ratio of 19.21 and a forward P/E of 13.27, suggesting that the market expects earnings growth that would justify a lower multiple in the future, although the negative earnings growth context complicates this forward-looking implication. The price-to-book ratio is recorded at 6.68, indicating that the market values the company at a significant premium over its net book value, likely reflecting intangible assets, brand strength, or growth potential not fully captured on the balance sheet. Alternative valuation measures include a price-to-sales ratio of 0.78 and an EV/EBITDA of 14.54, which provide context for assessing the company's valuation relative to its sales volume and operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The stock price has traded between a 52-week high of $69.70 and a 52-week low of $43.00, placing the current trading price within a range that reflects recent market volatility and investor sentiment shifts. The company exhibits a beta of 1.01, meaning its stock price volatility mirrors the broader market movements, offering no significant hedge against or amplification of general market risk.
Growth & Income
Revenue growth year-over-year stands at 4.4%, whereas earnings growth year-over-year is -27.9%, indicating that earnings are contracting faster than revenue, a trend often driven by inflationary pressures on food costs or supply chain expenses that compress profit margins. As a dividend payer, the company offers a dividend yield of 2.0% with a payout ratio of 35.3%, a level that generally appears sustainable given the current earnings generation, though the negative earnings growth rate introduces risk to the consistency of future dividend payments. The divergence between positive revenue expansion and negative earnings growth suggests that while top-line demand remains resilient, cost management or margin compression is currently hindering the translation of sales into proportional profit. Overall, the growth and income profile presents a mixed picture of stable top-line sales growth supported by a modest dividend yield, yet challenged by significant declines in profitability and a leveraged balance sheet that requires careful monitoring of cash flow dynamics.
