From Nasdaq: 2025-03-17 04:00:00

Bloomin’ Brands (BLMN) operates popular dining chains like Outback Steakhouse and Carrabba’s Italian Grill. However, BLMN stock has been underperforming, with shares up only 14% in the past five years. Tariffs imposed by President Trump could further impact the restaurant business, leading to higher prices and supply chain disruptions.

Analysts predict a significant slowdown in earnings growth for BLMN, with estimates suggesting a 26.82% decrease in 2025 and only 8.21% growth in 2026. The company also lags behind its industry in terms of EPS and sales growth, with a negative net margin and high debt/capital ratio. These factors contribute to the company’s fundamental weakness.

Zacks Investment Research has identified a top stock with the potential to double in value. This innovative financial firm has a growing customer base and cutting-edge solutions, making it a promising investment opportunity. While not all picks are winners, this stock could outperform previous selections like Nano-X Imaging, which saw a 129.6% increase in just over 9 months.
