Analyst projections of the future price of Arcos Dorados stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Second-quarter revenue reached a record $1.3 billion, up 14.3%, while comparable sales rose 15.3% and adjusted EBITDA reached a quarterly record. Guest traffic had its strongest performance in six quarters, signalling broad trading momentum. (Morningstar)
Digital sales grew about 25% and reached 66% of systemwide sales. Active loyalty members who redeem points visit around five times as often as non-members, giving the company a way to encourage repeat visits. (The Motley Fool)
Management aims to open 550–600 restaurants between 2027 and 2030, with long-term targets for mid- to high-single-digit revenue growth and high-single- to low-double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth. If delivered, the expansion could extend growth beyond the recent sales rebound. (Business Wire)
NOLAD was a weak spot in the second quarter: comparable sales fell 2.2%, and its margin was down 110 basis points excluding last year’s restaurant-transaction income. That points to softer trading and weaker operating leverage in the division. (MarketScreener, The Motley Fool)
Payroll costs rose as a share of revenue in all three divisions, with wage growth outpacing average checks particularly in NOLAD. If labour costs keep rising faster than sales, they could erode the benefit from lower food costs and leaner administration. (The Motley Fool)
The latest filing describes $450–489 million of reasonably possible losses across tax, customs, labour and civil matters, as well as $194 million of income-tax items that could be challenged. These are potential exposures rather than confirmed payments, but they add uncertainty around future cash outflows. (StockTitan)
