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: Weakest Guidance Sets The Tone From Here On Out |
Kura Sushi's Q1 FY 2025 results showed mixed performance with 1.8% same-store sales growth but a 2.3% decline in traffic, leading to a 10% share drop.
