| Potbelly: A Smokin' Hot Quarter For A Growing Brand, Even With Soft Consumer Spending |
Potbelly's stock surged 18% on May 7, marking a 40% increase since my initial recommendation, driven by strong same-store sales growth and effective engagement initiatives like Potbelly Perks. Despite a challenging Q4, Potbelly's Q1 FY 2025 results exceeded expectations with 0.9% same-store sales growth, boosted by new menu items and value promotions. Potbelly's expansion strategy includes opening 38 new locations in FY 2025, aiming for 2,000 U.S. locations, supported by a healthy balance sheet and low debt. |

Potbelly's stock dropped 20% despite beating Q4 FY 2024 EPS and revenue expectations due to plans to resume building company-owned stores, deviating from its asset-light strategy.
