Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Cracker Barrel Old Country Store stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Cracker Barrel posted mixed fourth-quarter fiscal 2017 results wherein the bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate while the top line lagged the same. Notably, this quarter marked the 25th successive earnings beat for the company. However, it has reported lower-than-expected revenues in nine of the last 10 quarters. Cracker Barrel shares have also underperformed the industry year to date. Nevertheless, the company expects its enhanced focus on convenience, value and menu innovation to aid in fighting persistent challenges faced by the restaurant and retail industry. Expansion of units, extensive marketing efforts, seasonal promotions, enhanced focus on retail business along with cost-saving initiatives should further drive growth. Yet, high costs along with limited geographic diversity remain potent headwinds." (9/18/2017)
• 2. Maxim Group analysts commented, "We maintain our Hold rating on Cracker Barrel Old Country Store (CBRL), though lower our price target to $155, from $170 prior, ahead of the release of the company’s F4Q17 (July) earnings on Wednesday, September 13." (9/7/2017)
• 3. Buckingham Research analysts commented, "We remain with a NEUTRAL rating and $161 target (in-line with current levels) ahead of the company's 2QFY17 (Jan-17) operating results. We like CBRL for the company's differentiated, value-oriented format which we believe buffers it somewhat from increased competition and the challenges facing the industry. We also appreciate the company's strong cash flows (3.7% yield), dividend payments (2.8% yield before special dividends) and real estate ownership (estimated at $1.3B-$1.5B) which provides downside protection. We are buyers of this stock at the right price but view the current levels as near fair value when taking into account a difficult industry labor and traffic dynamic. We see 26%/40% upside/downside in our best/worst case scenario analysis." (2/14/2017)
