Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Restaurants is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — Maintain positive net income above $55 million in Q1 2026: Q2 EPS 0.39 vs 0.28 consensus; Q3 EPS guided -0.28 to -0.23.
View ThesisRevenue is contracting — down about 2% over the past year.
View GrowthManagement screens strong on the balance sheet.
View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 35% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskBloomin' Brands must maintain positive net income above $55 million to justify its price. Revenue grew 1% year over year, and the last quarter beat expectations by 39%. It trades at 7.6× P/E versus a peer median of 17×, indicating the price reflects less growth than forecasted. A specific risk is the potential for a credibility hit if guidance is cut after a recent raise. Peer multiples imply a price about 29% above where it trades. Our read remains provisional.
