DENN Stock Recent News

Denny's trades at a discounted valuation, underestimating its brand resilience, cash generation, and potential recovery as macro headwinds ease. Aggressive value promotions, digital innovation, and Keke's expansion are driving traffic recovery and offer long-term growth levers despite near-term margin pressure. High leverage and ongoing inflation pose risks, but disciplined capital allocation and franchise strength support liquidity and operational stability.

Spartanburg, SC, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Denny's is turning up the summer savings with a deal that's too good to pass up: 4 fan-favorite Slams® for under $10 each*!   Originally created in 1977 as a tribute to a true baseball legend, the breakfast Slams have been part of Denny's menu for nearly 50 years — and this summer, Denny's is stepping back up to the plate with unbeatable value.

Denny's Q1 was rough: same-store sales and traffic declined, margins compressed, and free cash flow stayed negative, pressuring franchisee economics. Aggressive promotions like BOGO are boosting traffic, but risk further margin erosion and may not drive sustainable profitability for franchisees. My fair value estimate is $3.50–$4.50, well below Wall Street's optimistic targets, reflecting weak unit-level returns and ongoing operational headwinds.
