Restaurant stocks that were hammered earlier in the week are starting to recover as markets respond to a major trade agreement between the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45347089/wall-street-rips-higher-as-tariff-truce-halts-us-china-economic-escalation"> U.S. and China. </a>
What To Know: After sharp declines sparked by President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff policy on Wednesday, a new 90-day truce announced Friday has led to a broad shift in sentiment, especially for consumer-facing sectors like restaurants.
The initial round of tariffs hit restaurant stocks hard due to their exposure to global supply chains, particularly in sourcing food machinery, packaging and commodities from China and other countries. 
Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>), which operates over 7,600 stores in China and relies heavily on coffee imports, was among the worst hit, falling more than 11% on Thursday. Chains like Shake Shack (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>), Dutch Bros (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>), CAVA Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAVA#NYSE">CAVA</a>), Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBRL#NASDAQ">CBRL</a>) and Portillos Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTLO#NASDAQ">PTLO</a>) also posted steep losses ranging from 7% to over 13% that day, as investors anticipated rising costs and disrupted sourcing channels. 
Friday&#8217;s announcement of a tariff rollback between the U.S. and China reversed much of the market&#8217;s earlier fear. The agreement, reached in Geneva, Switzerland, slashes U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30% and reduces Chinese tariffs on American goods from 125% to 10%, starting May 14. This decision effectively pauses one of the most aggressive protectionist escalations in recent trade history and removes a significant overhang for the restaurant industry.
The market&#8217;s reaction was immediate. U.S. equity futures surged, the dollar strengthened and recession probabilities dropped as optimism returned to the broader economy. 
For restaurants, the truce eases concerns over rising input costs, food inflation and supply chain disruptions, giving companies more clarity on operational planning and cost management in the short term. 
While many of these stocks are still recovering from the earlier losses, the tariff pause gives breathing room to an industry that was directly caught in the crossfire of escalating trade tensions. Investors are now watching for signs of sustained improvement in consumer sentiment and corporate earnings as the macroeconomic picture stabilizes.

Restaurant Stocks Rebound As US–China Tariff Truce Offers Sector Relief: What's Going On?

Shares of restaurant companies are trading higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. This could alleviate supply chain uncertainty in the sector.

BofA Securities analyst Sara Senatore provides an analysis for restaurant sector performance in the first <a href="https://trello.com/c/f3PFGoRF/331021-restaurants-q1-previewbofa">quarter</a>.
Restaurant demand showed mixed results due to weather and a calendar shift, said the analyst. 
Black Box industry data revealed a deceleration in same-store sales growth (SSSG) across all segments from January to February, but March saw improvement, excluding Fine Dining. 
Restaurant spending growth improved in March, with chain spending recovering from -7.5% in February to -3.5%.
Independent restaurants saw a rise in spending, from -2.7% in February to +1.3%. The rebound was attributed to better weather and the impact of the calendar shift in February. 
In the first quarter, prices for soybeans, wheat and soybean oil continued to deflate, though at a slower rate than in the fourth quarter of FY24. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44897010/chipotle-to-open-first-mexico-restaurant-by-2026">Chipotle To Open First Mexico Restaurant By 2026</a>
Coffee prices surged, increasing by 96.8% year-over-year, up from 56.8% in the fourth quarter. Beef inflation rose to 5.5%, compared to 1.3% in the previous quarter.
Cheese prices decreased by 1.8%, while dairy inflation slowed to 1.3%. Futures markets predict deflation in several commodities in the second quarter of 2025, but coffee, natural gas and beef are expected to see inflation, noted the analyst.
Restaurants index in the S&amp;P 500 is trading at 1.2x forward EPS, below its 5-year, 10-year and 15-year averages of 1.4x.
Industry data indicates a demand recovery in March after weak months in January and February. While consensus expectations for restaurants remain high, first-quarter results may fall short of estimates. 
Investors are focused on April trends and the potential impact of tariffs on consumer sentiment, traffic and COGS inflation.
So, keeping the above points in mind, the analyst has lowered the price targets for Bloomin&#8217; Brands Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>), Dutch Bros Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>), Cheesecake Factory Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAKE#NASDAQ">CAKE</a>), Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBRL#NASDAQ">CBRL</a>), Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>), Krispy Kreme Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>), Domino&#8217;s Pizza Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>), Brinker International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAT#NYSE">EAT</a>), Jack In The Box Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JACK#NASDAQ">JACK</a>), McDonald&#8217;s Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>), Papa John&#8217;s International Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PZZA#NASDAQ">PZZA</a>), Restaurant Brands International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>), Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>), Sweetgreen Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SG#NYSE">SG</a>), Shake Shack Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>), Sysco Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYY#NYSE">SYY</a>), Texas Roadhouse Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXRH#NASDAQ">TXRH</a>), Wendy&#8217;s Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEN#NASDAQ">WEN</a>), Wingstop Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WING#NASDAQ">WING</a>), and Yum!

Restaurant Sector Q1 Volatilty From Weather, Inflation — Analyst Lowers Price Targets

<ul>
<li>CNN reports that casual dining chains are in crisis, as evidenced by a 0.9% drop in sales over 2024</li>
<li>One contributing factor to the decline is rising prices, which have gone up by 34% over the last five years</li>
<li>Meanwhile, fast-casual restaurants have seen a 0.6% increase in sales, and fast food restaurants have seen a 1% increase in sales</li>
</ul>
Casual dining chains, a staple of the American restaurant industry, are facing a crisis, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/04/business/hooters-red-lobster-tgi-fridays/index.html">CNN</a>. Four well-known establishments—TGI Fridays, Red Lobster, Hooters and Buca di Beppo— have iled for bankruptcy in the last few months. And several others, like Applebee's, Denny's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DENN#NASDAQ">DENN</a>), Outback Steakhouse, Bonefish Grill, Red Robin Gourmet Burger.(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RRGB#NASDAQ">RRGB</a>), and Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBRL#NASDAQ">CBRL</a>), have seen a sharp drop in sales.&nbsp;
This downturn, CNN reports, is due to a number of factors, including hiking prices, shrinking incomes, and general mismanagement.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>
<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>
</ul>
Chains like Red Robin and TGI Fridays have long been favorites among lower and middle-income families who want a sit-down dinner without a several-hundred-dollar price tag. But as disposable incomes shrink and the threat of a recession increases, CNN says, these diners find themselves less willing to spring for a full meal out. Instead, they're opting to cook at home or visit fast food and fast casual chains like McDonald&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) and Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>).&nbsp;
Data from the <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CUUR0000SEFV">US Bureau of Labor Statistics</a> also shows that restaurant prices have increased 34% since 2019, outpacing the overall growth of inflation. This has undoubtedly played a role in the 0.9% drop in sales at casual dining chains in 2024, that CNN reports, as well as the 0.6% and 1% increases at fast casual and fast food chains, respectively, where prices are already more affordable.
Trending: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a>
But shrinking incomes and rising prices aren't the only reasons these dining institutions are struggling. Strategy mistakes and a reluctance to invest in location and service updates have also marred the chains' once-bright futures. For example, Hooters' racy atmosphere and reputation have become less appealing to diners over the few years, contributing to decreased sales. One of its prospective buyers recently told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2025-03-27/hooters-bankruptcy-founders-to-welcome-families-end-bikini-nights?embedded-checkout=true">Bloomberg</a> it intends to give the establishment a family-friendly makeover. Only time will tell if the revamp will be enough or too little, too late.&nbsp;
Clarence Otis Jr., a former CEO of Darden Restaurants (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRI#NYSE">DRI</a>), told CNN the struggling chains "got dated in terms of their menu offering, the look and feel of the restaurants, and how they reach consumers."&nbsp;
See Also: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
While many chain restaurants are struggling, a few have managed to find the right recipe. Chili's, Olive Garden, and Texas Roadhouse (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXRH#NASDAQ">TXRH</a>) are all seeing rising profits, thanks to their investments in labor and facilities and their dedication to keeping prices low, according to CNN.&nbsp;
Chili's, CNN says, has invested $400 million into their restaurants, simplifying the menu, adding more staff, and renovating existing locations. As a result, it's gone viral on social media apps like TikTok and has increased sales by 31% over the last quarter, its third consecutive quarter of double-digit sales growth.&nbsp;
"There's a widening gap between winners and losers in the casual dining category," and "brands that are investing in labor and the quality of guest experience are winning," Raymond James analyst Brian Voccaro told CNN.&nbsp;

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Several restaurant stocks are taking a beating on Thursday as broader markets tumble in reaction to sweeping reciprocal tariffs from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44632479/retail-stocks-slammed-as-trumps-tariff-plan-sends-shockwaves-through-sector">the Trump administration</a>.
What Happened: President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on several countries across the world on Wednesday, sending markets into a tailspin.
Restaurant stocks are getting hit particularly hard as restaurant chains typically source food machinery and packaging from China. Trump announced 34% tariffs on China this week. 
According to a Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/trump-tariffs-trade-war-stock-market-04-03-2025/card/restaurant-stocks-slide-on-trump-s-new-duties-IrOe9ndIoLz9heJhUlgk">report</a>, many restaurant chains buy potatoes from Canada and often import meats from other countries. 
Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) has significant exposure to China as the company operates thousands of stores in the country. Starbucks had a total of 7,685 stores in China as of the end of 2024. The company is also a big coffee importer. Shares were down more than 11% at last check, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) is also facing selling pressure as the company imports avocados from Mexico, Columbia and other countries globally. Chipotle shares were down about 3.5% at the time of writing.

<ul>
<li>Dutch Bros Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>) down 9.05% at $56.24</li>
