What the Analysts think about Cracker Barrel
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Cracker Barrel stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Cracker Barrel stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Traffic is still negative, but the decline improved to 6.7% in the third quarter from 10% in the previous quarter. Cracker Barrel raised fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to $3.27bn-$3.30bn and adjusted EBITDA guidance to $120m-$125m. (Cracker Barrel, Nation's Restaurant News)
The July sale of Maple Street Biscuit Company and the planned closure of its remaining sites should simplify the portfolio and remove a loss-making distraction. Cracker Barrel also raised about $77m through a sale-and-leaseback, with the proceeds earmarked for debt reduction. (Cracker Barrel)
The company is strengthening its value proposition with sub-$10 offers, returning popular menu items and a growing loyalty programme that now has nearly 12 million members. Bundled meals and paid add-ons could support both traffic and average spending if execution continues to improve. (The Motley Fool)
Underlying demand and profitability remain weak: third-quarter comparable restaurant sales fell 2.6%, traffic fell 6.7%, and adjusted EBITDA dropped to $40.3m from $48.1m. Adjusted EBITDA margin also contracted to 5.1% from 5.9%, despite higher menu prices. (Cracker Barrel)
The balance sheet remains a material risk. Cracker Barrel reported $486.6m of total debt at the third quarter and planned to draw on its revolving facility to repay $149.9m of notes maturing in June 2026, while the $77m sale-and-leaseback only partly reduces leverage. (Cracker Barrel, Cracker Barrel)
The recovery still faces pressure from financially stretched lower-income customers and higher petrol prices. A tougher fourth-quarter comparison could make it harder for the company to turn improving trends into positive traffic and sales. (The Globe and Mail)
