More Sonic quarterly figures are available on Benzinga Pro.
“We credit the improvement to Sonic’s return to messaging and offers around its core equities, though we believe the environment continues to be difficult for smaller QSRs that lack a large, media-backed value push,” Slabaugh noted.
Promotions Are Helping Drive Sonic
Limited-time offerings and promotions like Family Night and Real Ice Cream Slush have been able to offset some recent sales struggles.
“We see Sonic as a differentiated concept with the ability to compete with larger players by leverage its customer loyalty and improving technology. We continue to believe Sonic is moving in the right direction and, despite the likely negative 4Q, should begin to close the valuation gap vs. similarly franchised peers by the end of 4Q17,” Slabaugh stated.
Additionally, Slabaugh is expecting menu innovations and new technology rollouts, including a new mobile app next month, as key growth initiatives for Sonic’s top-line.
Going forward, Sonic should expect to expand on its margins, and Slabaugh sees the company beginning to see EPS outperformance.
