There is no change to our $315 fair value estimate for narrow-moat Panera following its first-quarter update, which follows the announcement earlier this month it has entered into a definitive agreement to be purchased by JAB Holdings for $7.5 billion. In many ways, the first-quarter results reinforce why JAB would be interested in Panera in the first place, including industry-leading loyalty program engagement (51% of transactions) and digital sales penetration rates (26% of sales), expanding d...

Shares of narrow-moat Panera are soaring on rumors that the firm is exploring potential strategic alternatives after receiving preliminary takeover interest. While it's difficult to handicap the likelihood of a transaction--and any deal would ultimately depend on CEO and founder Ron Shaich, who holds 13.4% of Panera's voting power--it's not hard to see why a suitor would be interested. In our view, Panera is one of the restaurant operators best equipped to accommodate evolving consumer expectati...
Heading into 2017, we believe the key question on most restaurant investors' minds is whether the industry will reach an inflection point with respect to sales trends. 2016 was a difficult year for most restaurant operators, with comparable traffic trends declining much of the year. It's difficult to pin the industry weakness on one factor, with elevated rent and healthcare costs, the wide gap between the food at home (grocery store) and food away from home (restaurant) CPI spread (which stands ...
With comps at company-owned locations continuing to outpace the industry in the third quarter (3.4% growth versus 1%-2% declines across much of the industry) and the company increasingly finding ways to reach customers outside its restaurants (digital ordering, delivery, catering, and at-home products), narrow-moat Panera continues to redefine what a limited-service restaurant concept should look like. More important, with much of the investment for its Panera 2.0 technology and operational impr...

On the surface, there appears to be challenging times ahead for restaurant operators, with year-over-over traffic declines across much of the industry and rising labor costs on the horizon. However, we believe it would be shortsighted for investors to overlook this category, as there are several operators redefining the way consumer discretionary companies adapt to constantly evolving consumer expectations of value, convenience, health, and technology. To this end, we've been impressed by Panera...
Much of the commentary from restaurant management teams during second-quarter reporting season has focused on slowing industry traffic, but Panera bucked the trend with company-owned comps of 4.2% (6.6% on two-year basis). We believe these trends--which are slowing modestly heading into the third quarter with quarter-to-date comps of 3.1%, still well ahead of industry averages--indicate that Panera has developed one of the most effective blueprints for what a modern restaurant concept should loo...
