Barclays analyst Jeffrey A. Bernstein has outlined top themes to watch out for in the U.S. restaurants in 2025.
The restaurant industry, according to the analyst, is experiencing mixed results as it navigates a volatile environment heading into the third quarter of 2024.
A recent preview highlighted that many companies have struggled to meet expectations regarding same-store sales and earnings per share, noted the analyst.
Despite these challenges, most have shared optimistic outlooks on recent sales trends.
As 2024 progresses, the key focus remains the consumer outlook, which has been unpredictable. On a positive note, unemployment rates remain near record lows, and wages continue to rise, contributing to a healthy increase in real disposable income, the analyst added.
Inflation has also eased, allowing the Federal Reserve to slow down its rate changes, said the analyst.
However, the analyst warned that the cost of living, including high rent and basic expenses, continues to pressure consumers.
Consumer confidence has remained lower than pre-pandemic levels, and many restaurants are working to improve traffic by offering greater value in response to inflation concerns.
Commodity inflation, excluding coffee, has shown signs of normalization and December 2024 saw a year-on-year increase of around 16%, mainly driven by coffee prices, asserted the analyst.
Restaurants are expecting mid-single-digit inflation in 2025, assuming current prices hold and the industry is hoping for a more stable cost environment that can support margins amidst uncertain sales projections, added the analyst.
The analyst expressed concern about labor costs and said while wage inflation has slowed from the peaks seen during 2021 and 2022, December 2024 saw a year-on-year wage increase of 10.3%.
In menu pricing, restaurants are easing the aggressive price hikes seen in recent years and overall, the industry is moving towards smaller price increases as commodity and labor inflation stabilizes, said the analyst.
The analyst upgraded both Shake Shack Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>) and Dutch Bros Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>) to Overweight from Equal Weight.
The analyst downgraded Bloomin&#8217; Brands Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>) and Dine Brands Global Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIN#NYSE">DIN</a>) to Equal Weight from Overweight.

Bloomin&#8217; Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower on Friday.</a>
The company reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 21 cents, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b41840141/bloomin-brands-announces-2024-q3-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the street view of 20 cents</a>. Quarterly revenues of $1.038 billion (down 3.8%) missed the analyst consensus of $1.042 billion.
The decrease in total revenues was primarily due to lower comparable restaurant sales, the impact of foreign currency translation of the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar, and the net effect of restaurant closures and openings.
The adjusted restaurant-level operating margin decreased to 12.5% from 14% due to lower restaurant sales and higher labor, operating, and commodity costs, primarily due to inflation.
Adjusted operating income margin in the quarter under review decreased to 3% from 5.3% in the year-ago period due to&nbsp;closure costs in from the closure of nine restaurants in Hong Kong.
The company exited the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $83.632 million.

&#8220;As I continue listening and learning during this evaluative period, it is clear to me that our path to sustainable sales and profit growth will be enabled by our team members executing a consistent and elevated guest experience, focusing first on Outback Steakhouse,&#8221;&nbsp;said Mike Spanos, CEO.
Strategic Sale Of 67% of Brazil Operations: On November 6, the company entered into a purchase agreement with Vinci Partners to divest 67% of its Brazil operations for R$1.4 billion (approximately $243 million).
This transaction values the business at R$2.06 billion, reflecting a multiple of 6.5x trailing twelve months EBITDA, net of royalties.
As part of this strategic re-franchising, the firm will continue to receive an ongoing royalty stream. The purchase price will be paid in two installments: 52% upon closing and the remaining 48% one year later.
Additionally, Bloomin&#8217; Brands retained the option to sell the remaining stake in 2028.
Outlook: Bloomin&#8217; Brands has lowered its FY24 outlook, now expecting adjusted EPS to be between $1.72 and $1.82, compared to the previous estimate of $2.10 to $2.30. The street view pegs at $2.08.
