Piper Sandler analyst Brian Mullan lowered the firm's price target on Denny's to $4 from $6 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares following quarterly results. The Q2 domestic systemwide same-store sales result was down 1.3% at the core Denny's brand, which is indicative of the tough operating environment for the Family Dining segment right now, the firm notes.

Reason

Citi lowered the firm's price target on Denny's to $6.25 from $7 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm says expectations are "rightfully low" heading into the company's Q1 results amid soft sales trends, significant egg inflation and ongoing store closures. However, Citi still sees Denny's risk/reward as favorable at these levels.

Reason

Citi analyst Jon Tower lowered the firm's price target on Denny's to $7 from $8 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares post the Q4 report. The firm says the company's momentum gained after a favorable Q4 pre-release "quickly reversed," with a "much choppier backdrop" in the balance of January and into February and border state weakness. However, the firm still sees the stock's risk/reward as favorable at these levels.
