Could Cracker Barrel Move Higher After Earnings?

"Cracker Barrel Old Country Store ( Nasdaq: CBRL) will report its Q4 FY2025 earnings after the close. The stock has was hit hard after a management rebranding fiasco that sent the share price down over 15%. Management continues to highlight the company's three imperatives-driving relevancy, delivering experiences guests love, and growing profitability-but the main thing to watch is how much cash has been spent and what outcomes they drove."

"Keys To Watch Based on the last quarter's call, here are the themes likely to dominate investor focus: Tariff Impacts & Mitigation - Roughly one-third of retail goods come from China; management expects ~$5M Q4 EBITDA hit. Mitigation efforts include vendor negotiations, SKU rationalization, and selective pricing. Back-of-House Optimization - Phase 1 rollout already yielded savings; Phases 2-3 (pre-prepped ingredients, equipment upgrades) could unlock further permanent labor and margin gains into FY2026. Campfire Menu Relaunch & Loyalty Growth - Strong early response to returning Campfire meals and loyalty growth (8M+ members, 1/3 of sales tracked). AI-driven personalization testing shows mid-single-digit spend lift per member."

Cracker Barrel will report Q4 FY2025 results after the close while the stock remains pressured following a management rebranding that pushed the share price down over 15%. Full-year estimates show flat FY2025 revenue of $3.47 billion and EPS of $3.19, with modest growth expected in FY2026. Key near-term issues include a roughly $5M Q4 EBITDA tariff headwind on China-sourced retail goods, back-of-house optimization phases that could drive lasting labor and margin improvements, a positive early response to the Campfire menu relaunch alongside loyalty growth, and completed remodels with remodel guidance deferred until September.
