If you believe CAKE can sustain its current growth while materially improving margins and returns toward YUM levels, then the stock could justify re-rating closer to YUM-implied price because its current earnings multiple is below YUM’s and the implied upside is 25.8%.
CAKE trades at 21.6x P/E versus YUM at 27.2x, and on that basis YUM-implied price suggests 25.8% upside to $83.18 from the current $66.13. However, CAKE is also far cheaper on sales and EBITDA multiples, which aligns with its materially weaker operating profile.
