Cheesecake Factory (CAKE) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Cheesecake Factory (CAKE) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Cheesecake Factory Inc. has raised its 2025 total revenue guidance to $3.8 billion, driven by a more accelerated opening schedule and increased menu pricing projected at approximately 4%. The company has reported improved adjusted mature restaurant-level margins for North Italia at 18.8%, highlighting operational efficiencies and effective pricing strategies. With strong sales performance attributed to high guest satisfaction and robust consumer demand, along with anticipated continued growth in traffic and margins, Cheesecake Factory is poised for a favorable financial trajectory moving forward.
Bears say
Cheesecake Factory Inc. has lower earnings per share (EPS) estimates for 2025, reducing the forecast from $3.73 to $3.70, and while introducing a 2026 EPS estimate of $4.24 slightly above consensus expectations, overall growth projections remain muted. The company's same-store sales (SSS) growth estimates for both The Cheesecake Factory and North Italia have been cut, indicating potential challenges in consumer demand and foot traffic, particularly in mall locations. Additionally, the projected revenue guidance for Q1 at $920-930 million and net income margins below consensus levels signals ongoing operational challenges and heightened risks that could negatively impact financial performance.
