Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call balanced meaningful operational and strategic progress (record unit growth, digital & loyalty momentum, equipment rollout, menu innovation, strong buybacks and cash position) against tangible near-term headwinds (comparable sales declines, margin pressure as pricing lags inflation, cost and tariff pressures, elevated marketing/labor costs and conservative guidance). Management presented a credible multi-year growth roadmap and early evidence of traction on initiatives, while acknowledging near-term margin and comp risks.Company Guidance
