Toast: Software Platform And AI Are Serving Up Sizzling Growth
Toast's cloud-based platform streamlines operations from POS to inventory and reservations. The fact that it is tailor made for the restaurant industry is a product competitive advantage. The company continues to improve its software making it more value adding and sticky. Its Menu Price Monitor and ToastIQ, leverages AI and Toast's unique data. The company had good Q1 2025 results as it added 6,000 net new locations and hit 24.3% revenue growth. Given its TAM, this revenue growth could continue on.

Toast's Inflection Point Could Send It To $60 -- Why I'm Long
I see a path to $60 per share by summer 2026, driven by resilient fundamentals and a focused, restaurant-specific product offering. I'm not ignoring the risks, but Toast's fundamentals are simply too strong to overlook right now. I see a realistic path to $600 million in FCF over the next year, which justifies today's valuation.

Toast: This Is Just The Beginning (Rating Upgrade)
I am upgrading Toast to 'buy' with a $54.3 price target, as the company continues to demonstrate sustained growth and operating leverage despite near-term macro headwinds. Q1 FY25 saw strong revenue and profit growth, driven by high-margin Subscription Services and disciplined cost control, with free cash flow outpacing EPS. Momentum in the US market, major enterprise wins like Applebee's, and AI innovation are expanding Toast's TAM and deepening customer adoption.
