What Happened: U.S. restaurant companies faced a tough start to 2025, with weaker consumer sentiment, weather impacts and tariff uncertainties affecting performance, except for a few like Brinker International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAT#NYSE">EAT</a>).
Although first-quarter softness was expected, risks remain on the downside due to macroeconomic and policy uncertainties, as reflected in Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44996394/chipotle-battles-slumping-sales-but-honey-chicken-boosts-hope-say-analysts">same-store sales growth miss and lowered guidance</a>.
These factors are likely to dominate investor attention during the earnings season, noted the analyst.
Despite no major changes in consumer intent for restaurant spending, recent adjustments to estimates reflect lower macroeconomic forecasts from GS economists, including slower GDP growth and a higher recession probability.
Restaurant sales trends are closely tied to consumer spending, and weaker macro conditions suggest lower comparable store-sales growth in the second half of 2025 and into 2026.
Inflation&#8217;s impact on margins is limited, and there&#8217;s a higher risk to global restaurant development plans, particularly in international markets, which could reduce long-term unit growth, the analyst said.
Economists predict a slowdown in U.S. GDP growth to 0.5% in 2025, down from 2.5% in 2024, with a 45% recession risk, up from 20% earlier in the year due to tightening financial conditions, foreign boycotts, and policy uncertainty.

The deceleration in consumer spending and macro headwinds are putting pressure on restaurant top-line growth, with varying impacts across different restaurant types.
Fast food restaurants show the lowest sensitivity to macroeconomic conditions, with higher resiliency compared to fast casual and full-service restaurants, which are more correlated with GDP and consumer discretionary spending.
Recent surveys show no significant shifts in consumer purchase intent for restaurants, with full-service restaurants seeing improvement compared to grocery stores, while limited-service restaurants have contracted in recent months.
What&#8217;s Next: Companies like Wendy&#8217;s Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEN#NASDAQ">WEN</a>), Bloomin&#8217; Brands Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>), Domino&#8217;s Pizza Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>), Wingstop Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WING#NASDAQ">WING</a>), Yum! Brands Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>), and Jack In The Box Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JACK#NASDAQ">JACK</a>) have higher lease-adjusted net leverage, with Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) and Domino&#8217;s facing notable near-term debt maturities.
Slower same-store sales growth and higher build costs are expected to hurt franchisee profitability and reduce demand for new stores.
Many fast food chains anticipate slower unit expansion in 2025, with Jack in The Box planning major cutbacks and closures, while fast casual/casual dining brands remain mostly on track.
Potential U.S. tariffs may raise domestic build costs, while international growth faces challenges from weaker global demand and rising anti-U.S. brand sentiment.
U.S. tariff actions and foreign policy stances have damaged international perceptions of the U.S., raising concerns about reduced demand for American brands.
While it&#8217;s too soon to measure definitive consumer pullback, monitoring sentiment is increasingly important for U.S. brands abroad.
Morning Consult data shows a YTD decline in U.S. favorability across most tracked countries, particularly Canada, Western Europe and Mexico.
Despite rising anti-U.S. sentiment globally, current data indicates no strong link between U.S. tariffs and Chinese consumer attitudes toward U.S. brands.

US Restaurants Face Growth Hurdles As Macro Headwinds Mount, Says Analyst

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New On The Block</h2>
<ul>
<li>Jack in the Box (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JACK#NASDAQ">JACK</a>) is exploring strategic options for Del Taco, including a potential sale, just two years after acquiring it for $585 million. According <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-23/jack-in-the-box-weighs-sale-of-del-taco-restaurant-chain?srnd=phx-deals&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">to</a> Bloomberg, the fast-food chain could fetch up to $200 million. The company is working with Bank of America on the process and plans to close 150 to 200 underperforming restaurants as part of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/fast-food">a broader restructuring</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Billy McFarland, the infamous mastermind behind the spectacular dumpster fire known as Fyre Festival, is back. After conning the rich and famous (and some unlucky Instagram influencers) out of millions and earning himself nearly four years behind bars, McFarland was supposedly prepping for another Fyre event. With just a month to go before round two was set to launch, he's now trying to auction off the "Fyre" brand to the highest bidder, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIzDz6exph0/?hl=en">saying</a>: "This brand is bigger than any one person" — this coming from the guy who turned it into a global meme against the gullible. </li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Updates On The Block</h2>
<ul>
<li>UPS (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) is <a href="https://about.ups.com/us/en/newsroom/press-releases/our-strategy/ups-to-acquire-andlauer-healthcare-group-for--1-6-billion--stren.html">acquiring</a> Canadian healthcare logistics firm Andlauer Healthcare Group (TSX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AND#TSX">AND</a>) for approximately $1.6 billion, paying C$55 per share—a 31% premium. The deal, expected to close by year-end, could pressure rivals like FedEx and DHL to expand their presence in the higher-margin healthcare sector. Notably, Andlauer's CEO, Michael Andlauer, also owns the NHL's Ottawa Senators, who are currently down 2-0 in a series against the Toronto Maple Leafs.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Kimberly-Clark (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMB#NYSE">KMB</a>) has short-listed three strategic bidders for its global tissue unit, which could sell for around $4 billion. The unit generates approximately $500 million in annual EBITDA, and binding bids are expected by mid-May, according to Reuters.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Clothing brand Guess (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GES#NYSE">GES</a>) previously received a $677-million take-private bid from WHP Global. The brand is also considering a takeover bid from private equity-backed Authentic Brands Group. ABG backers include CVC Capital Partners, General Atlantic, HPS Investment Partners and Leonard Green &amp; Partners.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Merck KGaA is in late-stage talks to buy SpringWorks Therapeutics for around $3.5 billion, or approximately $47 per share. A deal could be announced as soon as Monday, Bloomberg reported. The deal would support Merck's pharma division, which is facing a patent expiration for a multiple sclerosis drug.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Tencent Music is reportedly <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-25/tencent-music-is-said-in-talks-to-buy-ximalaya-for-2-4-billion?srnd=phx-deals">in</a> discussions with China-based startup Ximalaya. The price tag is roughly $2.4 billion in a cash-and-stock deal. A deal could be finalized in the coming weeks, though discussions are ongoing. Ximalaya, backed by Tencent, Baidu and Sony Music, had 303 million monthly active users in 2023 and previously delayed a planned Hong Kong IPO. Tencent Music, which owns QQ Music, Kugou, Kuwo and WeSing, went public in the U.S. in 2018 and now has a market cap of about $20.6 billion.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>European regulators <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/f06fa20d-a76b-494a-a09b-224e4d210db4">are</a> preparing to investigate Universal Music Group's proposed $775 million acquisition of Downtown Music Holdings, the Financial Times reports. The update follows antitrust concerns raised in Austria and the Netherlands. Although the deal didn&#8217;t meet EU-wide merger notification thresholds, the European Commission accepted requests to review it due to potential impacts on competition within the Single Market. Universal announced the acquisition via its Virgin Music division in December.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bankruptcy Block</h2>
<ul>
<li>Bertucci's is going back, not for seconds, but for thirds. The casual dining franchise known for its pizza is <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69938534/1/bertuccis-restaurants-llc/">headed</a> for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This would be the third time since 2018. The chain closed 7 of its 22 locations before filing, leaving 15 operating restaurants across six states. The Northborough, Massachusetts-based franchise has downsized significantly from 56 locations in 2018. It is now exploring a fast-casual spinoff, Bertucci's Pronto, to adapt to shifting consumer preferences. The company also pointed to broader struggles in the dining sector, citing the bankruptcies of Red Lobster <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41700829/deal-dispatch-tgi-fridays-goes-bankrupt-bhp-backtracks-comments-and-more-m-a-news">and TGI Fridays</a>.</li>
