Denny's: A Forgotten Stock With A Hidden Growth Driver
Denny's stock has fallen nearly 60% over the past decade, but its current inexpensive valuation and share repurchase program make it a speculative buy. Despite recent underwhelming earnings, Denny's hidden asset, Keke's Breakfast Café, shows promising growth potential and could drive future profitability and market re-rating. Keke's expansion into new states and remodeling efforts are yielding positive results, with analysts predicting it will boost Denny's EBITDA growth by 5-7% annually.

Denny's management issued weak guidance for FY 2025, expecting flat to negative same-store sales and a net reduction in restaurant locations.
