The following video is from Friday's Motley Fool Money roundtable discussion, with host Chris Hill and analysts Jason Moser, James Early, and Ron Gross.
In this segment, the guys discuss two major restaurant stocks making headlines this week after reporting earnings, Chipotle (CMG 0.81%) and Panera (PNRA). Chipotle's fourth-quarter profit was up nearly 7%, slightly below expectations, while Panera's Q4 revenue was up 15%, and it grew its same store sales by 5%. Our analysts talk about which company had the more impressive quarter, and whether these are still going to be growth stocks going forward.
Investors can be forgiven for thinking that a company which has returned almost 2,500% since going public probably has its best days behind it. But in the case of Panera Bread, there's reason to believe that the best is still yet to come. The stock has been on an absolute tear over the past five years, and you're invited to find out why – and what else there is to look forward to – in The Motley Fool's brand new premium report on Panera. Included are key areas that investors must watch, as well as opportunities and threats facing the company both today and in the long-term. As an added bonus, we'll keep you up-to-date on Panera for a full year, providing expert guidance and analysis as key news develops.
