UBS analyst Dennis Geiger downgrades $Dine Brands Global Inc (DIN.US)$ to a hold rating, and adjusts the target price from $44 to $32.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 59.3% and a total average return of 6.3% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Dine Brands Global Inc (DIN.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
The outlook for the U.S. restaurant sector by 2025 appears more optimistic, with expectations of a modest improvement in the U.S. macroeconomic backdrop and industry environment. Many companies are projected to see margin improvements due to benign food inflation. However, key variables such as traffic, alongside risks from reduced pricing power, ongoing labor cost inflation, and increased discounting activities, remain considerations.
The firm anticipates that the company will project very low single-digit comparable growth for 2025, suggesting the potential for another challenging year. The expectation of flat unit growth could at best support low single-digit revenue expansion. Due to considerable comparable headwinds, absent unit growth and restricted earnings leverage, the shares are likely to underperform in 2025.
