JACK Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Jack In The Box Inc. showcases a positive outlook driven by its revised barbell pricing strategy, which aims to enhance its same-store sales (SSS) performance and improve food quality while fostering innovation. The company reported an improvement of approximately 300 basis points in SSS during the fourth quarter, attributed to the implementation of its more value-focused strategy, suggesting customer acceptance and potential for further growth. Additionally, the management's initiatives to enhance the balance sheet and refocus on its core Jack in the Box brand, along with plans to accelerate development, indicate a commitment to mitigating operational pressures and positioning the company for long-term stability and success.
Bears say
The financial outlook for Jack In The Box Inc has deteriorated, with management projecting a net unit decline of approximately 2-4% for FY26, indicating a focus on restructuring rather than expansion. The company's fourth-quarter system comparable sales (comps) plummeted by 7.4%, falling short of both the Street's estimate and the analyst's own projection, highlighting persistent weaknesses in same-store sales. Additionally, operational challenges are compounded by rising costs in food, labor, and other expenses, along with potential adverse effects on traffic from external economic pressures, leading to a revised discounted cash flow (DCF) price target that reflects a downturn in fundamentals.
This aggregate rating is based on analysts' research of Jack in the Box and is not a guaranteed prediction by Public.com or investment advice.
