Bloomin’ Brands missed our Q2 earnings per share estimate by 11% and provided downbeat guidance once again, with the casual dining industry “softer than anticipated.” The causal dining space is suffering as consumer spending slows across the board as they start to wave the white flag amid lingering inflation.
Bloomin’ Brands’ third quarter EPS estimate has tumbled 49% in the last few months, with its FY24 and FY25 estimates roughly 15% lower, helping BLMN earn a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). The recent downward EPS revisions are part of a negative trend that began in early 2023.
Bloomin’ Brands stock is down 3% in the past five years vs. its industry’s 15% climb and the S&P 500’s 95% surge. BLMN shares have tumbled 38% YTD.
