Restaurants analyst Howard Penney remains bullish on the Papa Johns (PZZA) turnaround. Here's an excerpt from his Institutional Research:

Rob Lynch comes with an impressive CV as President of Arby's, where he led the fledgling brand's dramatic turn-around. The other bit of good news with the press release was a reaffirmation of the 2019 guidance for N.A. comps down (4%) to (1%); International comps flat to +3%, and EPS of $1.00-$1.20. Following the announcement of the new CEO, the sentiment has turned decidedly positive, 78% buy rating versus 50% at the start of 3Q19. I suspect the positive sentiment is driven by the CEO's turnaround experience and marketing expertise. |
