Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike.
Many investors also have a go-to methodology that helps guide their buy and sell decisions. One way to find winning stocks based on your preferred way of investing is to use the Zacks Style Scores, which are indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing types: value, growth, and momentum.
Different than growth or momentum investors, value-focused investors are all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under what their true value is before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
As of Oct. 29, 2024, Cheesecake Factory owned and operated 347 restaurants throughout the United States and Canada under brands, including The Cheesecake Factory and North Italia, Flower Child and a collection within the Fox Restaurant Concepts subsidiary.
CAKE is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, with a Value Style Score of B and VGM Score of A. Shares are currently trading at a forward P/E of 14.7X for the current fiscal year compared to the Retail - Restaurants industry's P/E of 25.1X. Additionally, CAKE has a PEG Ratio of 1.3 and a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 11X. Value investors should also note CAKE's Price/Sales ratio of 0.7X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2024, 11 analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for CAKE, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.10 to $3.31 per share. CAKE also holds an average earnings surprise of 14.1%.
With strong valuation and earnings metrics, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, investors should strongly think about adding CAKE to their portfolios.
