Reason

Freedom Capital analyst Lynne Collier initiated coverage of Cheesecake Factory with a Hold rating and $56 price target. The firm likes the company's portfolio of premium casual dining brands and believes its smaller growth brands are underappreciated by the Street. However, it comes out on the sidelines due to macro headwinds and its channel checks that suggest upscale casual dining comps are being pressured to a greater degree than the broader industry.

Reason

Oppenheimer lowered the firm's price target on Cheesecake Factory to $70 from $75 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm says traffic headwinds in the restaurant sector appear to be broadening into Q4, setting the stage for a rocky earnings season. On its call, the company highlighted softening macro conditions and more cautious consumer behavior across the industry. This forced management to lower expectations for Q4 same-store sales by 100bps, and initiate conservative 2026 revenue guidance, Oppenheimer adds. Despite the moderated sales outlook, Cheesecake Factory's updated margin forecasts remain unchanged as strong operational execution remains a tailwind.
