Market cap $254M

Denny's (DENN) faces ongoing challenges: declining traffic, stagnant franchise AUVs, and low margins, with store closures outpacing openings. Despite a recent 30% stock rally, DENN remains expensive versus peers and lacks clear catalysts for sustainable turnaround or value improvement. Q3 data shows continued traffic weakness, especially in key markets like California and Arizona, with no rebound in same-store sales expected.

Denny's continues to struggle with declining traffic, unit closures, and weak margins, despite some growth from Keke's daytime dining concept. Recent promotions like BOGO have failed to meaningfully boost traffic or improve same-store sales, pressuring margins further. Unit-level economics remain unattractive for franchisees, with low IRRs compared to peers, making future footprint growth challenging.
