Del Taco sales and margins have deteriorated to levels that make refranchising or a sale unattractive, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Northcoast believes that burdened with higher overhead and interest expense to carry Del Taco, Jack in the Box fasces structural headwinds amid competitive pressures that will be difficult to fix in the near term.
