Why now
Restaurants · market cap $15.6b. Down 24% from 52-week high of $58.39 — deep drawdown territory. 22 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $61.69 (implying +38% upside).
Moat
ROE 16% sits above Buffett's preferred 15% threshold — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately.
Risk
Mature compounder — the risk is paying up for quality at a moment when growth is decelerating. Watch for sequential revenue + margin trends; the inflection from "compounder" to "ex-compounder" is hard to spot until the multiple already started compressing.
Horizon
1-3 yr $61.69 (22-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $71.76 at ~10% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $105.49 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.
