Kura Sushi (KRUS) Moves to Buy: Rationale Behind the Upgrade

Kura Sushi (KRUS) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Kura Sushi (KRUS) Moves to Buy: Rationale Behind the Upgrade

Kura Sushi: We Ate Well In The $50s, Now It's Time To Digest (Rating Downgrade)

Kura Sushi delivered a strong Q3 double beat, with 17% revenue growth and a surprise profit, validating my earlier bullish call near $50 support. The company is executing well on its debt-free, high-growth model, expanding units over 20% year-over-year and managing costs despite macro headwinds. Same-store sales are still negative but improving sequentially, and new initiatives plus a robust IP calendar should drive further gains into FY 2026.

Kura Sushi (KRUS) Q3 Earnings and Revenues Beat Estimates

Kura Sushi: Despite Expansion, The Q3 Outlook Isn't Rosy

Kura Sushi USA, Inc. has continued to expand rapidly. The company eyes 14 new openings in FY2025. Performance indicators suggest underlying weakness. Kura Sushi's comparable restaurant sales have declined beyond peers', and profitability remains thin. The current stock valuation makes the investment's risk-to-reward unattractive. I estimate a significant 53% downside to $41.9 in a base scenario.

Kura Sushi: Sharp Declines In Traffic Are Worrying (Rating Downgrade)

Tariffs and waning consumer confidence are significantly impacting Kura Sushi, leading to a downgrade to a sell rating due to supply chain uncertainties and declining same-store sales. Kura Sushi's Q2 results show a concerning trend, with a 5.3% y/y decline in comparable sales and an 8.5% drop in customer traffic. Despite maintaining its full-year sales target, Kura Sushi's ability to achieve 14% y/y growth in 2H appears unrealistic given current trends.

Kura Sushi: Fire In Gasoline As Tariff Pause Sparks A Rally

Kura Sushi's stock surged nearly 30% due to a tariff pause and a smoother-than-expected transition quarter, reaffirming its growth story. Despite higher construction costs from tariffs, Kura's expansion remains strong with 14 new locations planned for FY 2025. Same-store sales declined, but new openings and weather impacts suggest the dip isn't as severe as it appears.
