El Pollo Loco: A Slowdown Is Here, Back Out Of This Stock (Downgrade)
Summary Restaurant stocks have seen a significant slowdown in same-store sales growth, but El Pollo Loco’s deceleration to just 0.5% growth stands out as particularly weak. The company has aggressive expansion plans to open ~10 new locations in FY25, supported by a lower new build cost from a new store blueprint that it pioneered last fall. However, El Pollo Loco failed to meet its original new build guidance for FY24, and may do so again in FY25 if sales are anemic. I’m downgrading El Pollo Loco to a neutral rating and moving to the sidelines. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Mar 13

El Pollo Loco: Franchising Growth Drives An Undervalued Growth Strategy
Summary El Pollo Loco operates and franchises restaurants, with the strategy turning more into franchised restaurants. The franchising growth provides capital light, low-risk earnings growth with proceeds from company-owned restaurant divestitures into franchisees. The downward long-term margins should reverse with greater franchising margins, franchised locations' better long-term comparable sales performance, and identified cost savings. Q1 showed an impressive comparable restaurant growth in a slowly performing restaurant industry, with the momentum carrying onto April as well. The stock's valuation seems to undervalue the expansion strategy. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalyseartikel • May 04
