Strong Performance: Shake Shack SHAK, a growing restaurant chain, ended 2023 on a high note with successful sales strategies and margin expansion. CEO Randy Garutti highlighted the opening of 41 new U.S. restaurants and 44 international locations, including in Thailand and the Bahamas. Despite inflationary pressures, same-store sales saw a 2.8% year-over-year increase.
Expansion Potential: With the Federal Reserve potentially maintaining or lowering interest rates, Shake Shack could see further expansion in 2024. With 518 locations (334 in the U.S.) at the end of 2023, there is significant growth potential. While it may not reach the size of McDonald's, it could approach Five Guys' nearly 1,500 U.S. locations, potentially quadrupling its current count.
Investment Outlook:
Bullish Outlook: We are bullish on SHAK above the $87.00-$88.00 range. Upside Potential: With an upside target set at $145.00-$150.00, investors should monitor sales growth and expansion efforts as key performance drivers.
