SHAK Stock Recent News

The Investment Committee give you their top stocks to watch for the second half.

Shake Shack's Q1 FY 2025 was its best ever, driven by strong real estate development, improved restaurant margins, and successful menu innovations. Despite a slowdown in same-store sales, Shake Shack's overall revenue grew by 10.5% year-over-year, with significant growth in emerging markets like Houston and Miami. Management expects continued growth with low single-digit same-store sales increases, 80-90 new Shack openings, and revenue projections of $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion for FY 2025.

Shake Shack has fallen ~30% this year as same-shack sales growth has slowed, with consumers finally pushing back against price increases. The company blamed Q1 weakness on the weather. In spite of weaker top-line growth, the company boosted restaurant operating margins despite sharp inflation in beef costs. The company is planning to open 45–50 new company-operated stores this year, up from a prior viewpoint of 45.

SHAK's first-quarter 2025 results are aided by enhanced operations, menu innovation and store openings.

Baird lowered the firm's price target on Shake Shack to $85 from $98 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. With the probabilities of an economic slowdown seemingly rising following the "shock" of last week's tariff announcement, Baird lowered estimates and price targets for the restaurants. It still believes exposure to restaurants remains appropriate, but is "dialing up" a preference for franchisors and keeps Outperform ratings on the businesses it thinks would be positioned to perform reasonably well in a downturn scenario. Baird moved to the sidelines on Portillo's and Starbucks. 14 May
