• 2. Wedbush analysts commented, "curtail intense discounting" within the quick service restaurant (QSR) burger chains, which benefit Shake Shack's competitive positioning.Achievable GuidanceSetyan's upgrade is also partially based on expectations for Shake Shack to achieve the company's reset comp guidance.

• 3. Buckingham Research analysts commented, "We remain with a NEUTRAL on shares of SHAK and reduce our price target to $39 (representing 15% upside from expected $34 opening) from $40. We continue to like SHAK for its long-term growth opportunity, brand, and exceptional unit economics. The challenge continues to consist of two factors, one is valuation, which at 20x EV NTM EBITDA represents a lot of risk in the event of unforeseen events. The second is the income statement dynamic resulting from hyper-growth into lower AUV markets. SHAK is guiding to $3.2M+ AUVs and 21% restaurant level margins for its 22-23 new units (32-33% growth) in 2017. In 2016 the average restaurant produced $4.9M in revenues and the consolidated restaurant-level margin was 28.3%, implying material dilution to these metrics from planned new unit openings. While we believe investors understand this, the situation makes it more difficult for SHAK to beat EPS, something we think is required to maintain the valuation. We see 34%/38% upside/ downside in best/ worst case scenarios." (3/2/2017)
