As it gears up to release its quarterly earnings on February 19, 2025, Wall Street analysts have set the bar with expectations for an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.91 and revenue of approximately $912.7 million.

Analysts are optimistic about CAKE’s performance for the quarter ending December 2024. They anticipate an EPS of $0.92, a 15% increase from the previous year, and revenues of $912 million, a 4% rise. This positive outlook is supported by strategic pricing actions and strong off-premise sales, as highlighted by Zacks Investment Research.

In the previous quarter, CAKE reported an adjusted EPS of $0.58, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 23.4% and marking a 48.7% year-over-year increase. The company has consistently exceeded estimates in the last four quarters, with an average surprise of 14.1%.

CAKE’s financial metrics reveal a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 19.85 and a price-to-sales ratio of 0.77, indicating how the market values its sales. However, the company faces challenges with a high debt-to-equity ratio of 4.76, suggesting significant reliance on debt. Additionally, a current ratio of 0.44 points to potential liquidity issues in meeting short-term obligations.
