Despite 7% Dividend Yield, Outback Steakhouse Parent Bloomin' Brands Not On The Menu
Summary I'm initiating coverage of Outback Steakhouse parent company, Bloomin' Brands, with a hold rating, having a neutral sentiment on its stock. Despite a 7% dividend yield grabbing attention, and undervaluation, BLMN stock is not on my menu of stocks to buy today. The stock has a much worse profit margin and debt/equity vs peers, and its own FY earnings outlook was lowered in Q3, while the analyst consensus outlook is negative. Some upside potential can come from strength in consumer discretionary spending, lower recession risk, and growth of new restaurants in better performing locations.
