Anderson commented:
“We maintain our Hold rating on Store (CBRL), though raise our price target to $170, from $160, ahead of the release of F3Q18 (April) results on Tuesday, May 22. For F3Q18, we lower our EPS estimate to $1.97, from $1.98 (vs. $1.96 consensus and $1.85-$1.95 guidance) as we believe margin pressure from a spike in certain food costs offset comp improvement. However, we raise our FY18 EPS estimate to $9.60, from $9.59 (vs. $9.45 consensus), and our FY19 EPS estimate to $9.94, from $9.86 (vs. $9.77 consensus), as we project continued sales improvement and a return to a benign food cost environment. We shift our base valuation year to FY20, from FY19.”
