Shake Shack Stock Plunges Despite Solid Sales and Earnings. Can Fried Pickles Give Shares a Boost? https://t.co/ZIB0Zuadp9
Shake Shack Inc. reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings with revenue of $356.5 million, surpassing estimates of $353.6 million and marking a 12.6% increase year-over-year. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.44, beating the expected $0.37, while adjusted EBITDA rose 24.8% to $58.9 million. System-wide sales reached $549.9 million, up 13.7% from the previous year, with same-store sales growing 1.8%, slightly below expectations of 2.2%. Net income attributable to Shake Shack was $17.1 million. Despite the strong quarterly results, the companyโs shares declined sharply, falling as much as 17.8% following a third-quarter revenue forecast that missed analyst expectations. The guidance shortfall was attributed to inflationary pressures and cautious consumer behavior, which have impacted traffic. In response, Shake Shack plans to introduce new products, increase marketing efforts, and manage costs to stimulate visits. Analysts, including TD Cowen, maintained a hold rating on the stock but raised the price target to $110, noting positive July traffic trends tempered by an elevated valuation and the need for sustained momentum in the second half of the year. The company also raised its full-year 2025 EBITDA guidance despite the cautious outlook.
