Fed Governor Adriana Kugler to resign
Investing.com - TD Cowen raised its price target on Shake Shack (NYSE:SHAK) to $110.00 from $105.00 on Thursday, while maintaining a Hold rating on the fast-casual restaurant chain. The company, now valued at $5.2 billion, has seen its stock surge over 60% in the past year, according to InvestingPro data.
The price target adjustment follows Shake Shack’s second-quarter performance and July same-store sales results, which TD Cowen described as encouraging despite a challenging fast-casual restaurant environment.
TD Cowen noted that while the company’s results showed positive momentum, they did not meet the high expectations of investors, with shares trading near peak valuation levels observed over the past three years.
The firm believes that Shake Shack’s reiterated sales guidance provides more realistic expectations for investors going forward.
TD Cowen also pointed out that with shares trading above their three-year average valuation, the positive traffic seen in July would need to be sustained throughout the second half of the year to generate multiple expansion.
