<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.

<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.

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;

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;

Wedbush Maintains Outperform on Texas Roadhouse, Raises Price Target to $210

Last week, J.P. Morgan analyst John Ivankoe hosted Bloomin&#8217; Brands Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>), CAVA Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAVA#NYSE">CAVA</a>), Brinker International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAT#NYSE">EAT</a>), and Sweetgreen Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SG#NYSE">SG</a>) at the J.P. Morgan Las Vegas forum.
The analyst noted that the key takeaway from all four companies was the focus on doing &#8220;fewer things better&#8221; and consistently reinvesting in customer and employee experiences.
According to the analyst, stock volatility has created opportunities, with the current 10-year yield of 4.3% helping global QSR valuations, easing fears of a 5-6% yield.
The analyst recommended adding fresh investments in Dutch Bros Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>), Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>), and CAVA.
While McDonald&#8217;s Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) and Restaurant Brands International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>) are fairly valued, slower U.S. data and international growth may present better buying opportunities, per the analyst.
Yum! Brands Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>) exceeded expectations, benefiting from tech-fee recapture. Domino&#8217;s Pizza Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>) is fairly valued due to high expectations. It remains uncertain if the Middle East conflict&#8217;s impact will drive sustained sales growth or just a leveling out.

The analyst upgraded the shares of CAVA to Overweight. CAVA has significant potential for expansion in the U.S., with impressive free cash flow generation and a strong pipeline of operational and brand initiatives to drive sales and profits.
The analyst reiterated a Neutral rating on Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) and EAT due to high valuations and peak comps, but remain cautiously optimistic and would consider adding on volatility.
Overweight-rated SG and Krispy Kreme Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>) face sales and profit challenges, with SG offering near-term potential through seasonal menus and loyalty programs.
Following YUM&#8217;s Taco Bell analyst day on March 4, which highlighted the &#8220;Byte by YUM!&#8221; platform and improving KFC international trends, the analyst conducted a full model review and a valuation reset.
Projections include Taco Bell U.S. growing to 9,000 units by 2030 and Taco Bell International expanding to 2,000 units. The analyst assumes KFC international (excluding China) will increase to 22,300 units, while KFC China will reach 19,400.
Compared to previous expectations, only BROS, DPZ, and Taco Bell (YUM) are performing ahead, while high-growth brands like CAVA, SG, Chili&#8217;s, and SBUX are on track.
Larger QSR brands like MCD, BK (QSR), KFC/PH (YUM), and fast-casual chains such as CMG and Shake Shack Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>) are underperforming. Casual dining brands like Darden Restaurants Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRI#NYSE">DRI</a>) (Olive Garden), Texas Roadhouse Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXRH#NASDAQ">TXRH</a>) (Roadhouse), and BLMN (Outback) are also tracking lower.
The U.S. restaurant labor market remains stable, with open positions at 6.2% of total employment, close to the 20-year average of 4.4%. The quits rate stands at 3.8%, near the historical average of 4.0%.
Consumer confidence has declined, with a focus on the &#8220;expectations&#8221; component, as cautious consumers become more selective in discretionary spending.
Large QSR brands, like MCD and DPZ, report weaker performance among low-income consumers. In contrast, high-growth brands like CAVA are seeing strong growth in the lowest income quartiles, suggesting a shift toward QSR trade-ups and growing brand awareness.
According to the analyst, sourcing talent and retention remain key to building strong brands and scaling operations, mainly during the rapid adoption of in/out-of-store tech.
Total industry supply growth has remained surprisingly resilient, up 12% from third-quarter FY18 to third-quarter FY24 for a CAGR of ~2%, opined the analyst.
So much attention is placed on future AI driven opportunities, but the reality is 40% of the industry sales are from the top 500 chains with a very large addressable market of another 60% are considered to be independents, the analyst noted.
Tariffs are less of an issue for this sector than other industries but related inflation could impact several daily consumer staple commodities including avocados, seasonal produce/fruit and coffee, said the analyst.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Shares of companies within the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness on rising yields and trade uncertainty.

<img alt="Wooden blocks spelling TARIFFS are placed on a map of North America, specifically over the United States and Mexico. High quality photo — Photo" class="article-image-one" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20250304152646_tariffs-wont-stop-these-3-stocks-from-rising.jpg" style="height:800px; width:1200px" />
As if investors didn&#39;t have enough to worry about, the Trump tariffs have gone into effect. As other nations begin to retaliate, this could be the initial battle in a prolonged trade war. Stocks are sinking across the board consequently, and that includes some of the top names from 2024, which don&#39;t look as magnificent in 2025.
Tariffs put pressure on corporate earnings and consumer spending, which is leading to cries of recession. However, what makes this particular tariff program so unsettling is its seemingly random, unpredictable nature. Are the tariffs being used to drive down interest rates? Are they being used to drive onshore manufacturing? Or are they, as President Trump says, about leverage to achieve policy objectives?
It makes for an uncertain time, and markets hate uncertainty.
It&#39;s only natural to be concerned, but this isn&#39;t the time to panic. Having discipline and a diversified outlook can help you find stocks that are likely to move higher even as the effects of tariffs start to take effect. Here are three names to consider.
<h2>Fortinet: A Defensive Play on the AI Trade</h2>
Cybersecurity stocks are one area for investors to look for stocks that are likely to grow in an uncertain tariff environment. <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/FTNT/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Fortinet Inc. (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ftnt#NASDAQ">FTNT</a>) is one of the top names to consider. The company is primarily focused on the hardware firewall niche through a unified platform.
[content-module:CompanyOverview|NASDAQ:FTNT]
Analysts are forecasting a significant upgrade cycle in 2026 and 2027. This should be a significant catalyst for a company that already has one of the best operating margins in the sector.
FTNT stock is also one of the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/videos/analysts-predict-big-gains-for-these-3-cybersecurity-leaders/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">most upgraded stocks</a>. As of March 4, 2025, the Fortinet analyst forecasts on MarketBeat had a consensus price target of $103.72, which is about 3% lower than its current price. However, in the last 30 days, analysts have raised their price targets to levels that would give the stock an upside of around 20%.
Investors are wondering if the AI trade has peaked. The emergence of China&#39;s DeepSeek is weighing on some stocks focused on AI infrastructure. However, cybersecurity is less exposed to tariff risks, which will keep analysts focused on the increasing demand for cybersecurity caused by AI&#39;s growth.
<h2>Texas Roadhouse: This Restaurant Stock Just Flashed a Buy Signal</h2>
Restaurant stocks can be sensitive to tariffs for many reasons, including the cost of ingredients, supply chain snafus, and waning consumer demand.
[content-module:CompanyOverview|NASDAQ:TXRH]
However, this sector can be an example of a stock picker&#39;s market, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/TXRH/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Texas Roadhouse Inc. (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/txrh#NASDAQ">TXRH</a>) is one of the best names to consider as discretionary dollars become tight.
Texas Roadhouse is simply one of the most well-run restaurant chains in the United States. And in the fourth quarter of 2024, it continued to post high single-digit year-over-year (YoY) growth in same-store sales. Plus, the company is still planning to open more restaurants in 2025.
And one of the reasons to buy TXRH stock now can be found in the company&#39;s stock chart. Late in February, the stock hit a low around $169 which formed an almost perfect double-bottom pattern. This can be a bullish signal and sure enough in the seven trading days ending March 4, the stock is up about 10%.
<h2>Lowe&#39;s: A Stable Stock for Long-Term Investors</h2>
Investing in <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/retail-wholesale/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">retail stocks</a> has been tricky in the past two years. Consumers have mostly absorbed inflation and rising interest rates. And now tariffs are driving up prices again.
[content-module:CompanyOverview|NYSE:LOW]
<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/LOW/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Lowe&#39;s Companies Inc. (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/low#NYSE">LOW</a>) is exposed to the retail sector via the housing and home improvement market, and it&#39;s been feeling the impact of a weak market on its top and bottom lines.
One of the best reasons to own Lowe&#39;s stock is its dividend. The company is a dividend king that has increased its dividend for 53 consecutive years, and it&#39;s been increasing that dividend at an average annualized growth rate of around 14.8% in the last three years.
LOW stock has been essentially flat over the last twelve months. But if you zoom out on the company&#39;s chart, you can see a bullish pattern where the stock may retreat over 10% but then come back to make new highs. That would be consistent with analyst sentiment, which has a consensus price target of $280.45 for LOW stock.
