Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com - Piper Sandler has lowered its price target on Jack In The Box (NASDAQ:JACK) to $19.00 from $26.00 while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. The stock currently trades at $17.93, near its 52-week low of $16.63, with InvestingPro analysis indicating the stock is undervalued based on its Fair Value model.
The price target reduction follows Jack In The Box’s fiscal third-quarter 2025 results, which showed same-store sales at the core Jack in the Box brand declining 7.1%, while Del Taco same-store sales fell 2.6%. This performance aligns with broader company challenges, as revenue declined 6.66% over the last twelve months, though the company maintains a significant 9.29% dividend yield.
With one quarter remaining in fiscal 2025, the company has lowered the mid-point of its adjusted EBITDA guidance by approximately 5% and its adjusted EPS guidance by approximately 11%. Part of this reduction is attributed to a planned advertising investment that corporate intends to fund in the current quarter. Despite these challenges, InvestingPro data reveals management’s confidence through aggressive share buybacks, with 10+ additional exclusive insights available to subscribers.
