What are Wall Street analysts saying about BJ's Restaurants stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about BJ's Restaurants stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of BJ’s Restaurants have outperformed the industry in a year. The company is likely to continue the uptrend, given its better-than-expected performance in third-quarter 2018. The company’s earnings have surpassed the consensus estimate in all of the trailing four quarters. While BJ Restaurants’ high-quality slow-roasted menu has been boosting foot traffic, daily Brewhouse Specials are contributing directly to the company’s top line. Notably, the company’s extensive focus on refining and streamlining its menu is the key driver for improved traffic. BJ’s Restaurants is also investing heavily in technology-driven initiatives, like digital ordering to boost sales. However, higher cost of sales and labor expenses due to increased wages are expected to continue hurting profits. The company's high vulnerability to the inconsistent nature of consumer discretionary spending further add to the woes." (11/12/2018)
2. Maxim Group analysts commented, "We maintain our Buy rating and $81 price target on BJ’s Restaurants (BJRI) ahead of the release of 3Q18 (September) results on the close. We maintain our 3Q18 EPS estimate of $0.24, vs. $0.22 consensus, based on our unchanged +4.0% comp estimate, vs. +4.0% consensus. We leave unchanged our annual EPS estimates of $2.24 for 2018, vs. $2.15 consensus; $2.60 for 2019, vs. $2.37 consensus; and $3.10, vs. $2.75 consensus." (10/24/2018)
