Read MoreHide Full Article
Potbelly Corporation (PBPB - Free Report) through its subsidiaries, owns and operates Potbelly Sandwich Works sandwich shops in the United States. It also sells and administers franchises of Potbelly Sandwich Works sandwich shops.
To boost the top line, the company has been undertaking various initiatives. Apart from focusing on improved digital innovation and distinguished menu offerings, the company is focused on strengthening its brand name through various advertising strategies. Additionally, the company’s continual expansion plans are expected to boost sales, going forward.
However, a soft consumer spending environment in the U.S. restaurant space, increased labor expenses as well as the company’s rising cost structure raises concern.
Investors should note that the consensus estimate for PBPB has been moving slightly downwards over the last 60 days. Nevertheless, PBPB’s earnings have been strong over the past few quarters. In fact, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four quarters, with an average beat of 37.74%.
