Noodles & Company (NDLS)

[KING_TRADER$]

No disrespect. I do understand it is unfair to compare Chipotle with Noodles & Co since Chipotle has a bigger brand recognition for being in the market longer. Noodles & Co here in Cali isn't as popular compared to the East. However, NDLS runs a more different strategy compared to CMG, where it is franchising out their brand to open more stores. Whereas, CMG do not franchise, because comp wants to have total control on the food quality served. CMG makes 3 billion in annual revenue and 0 debt. Opening new 200 stores annually. So it makes sense for them to be trading at 51x earnings. For the past 5 years, they usually only miss earnings 1 qtr out of the 4. Noodles & Co may have more room to grow since it is still at beginning stage. However, the few quarters suggested a high in PPS currently with 149x earnings. Reports/guidelines do not suggest any bad beat coming. This is not a technology stock but rather a food industry sector, so at this price, it's bound to have more down side than up. Just stating the facts. GLTYA.
