Chris O`Cull has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc.’s potential for growth and profitability. The company exhibits strong unit-level economics with an average unit generating $1.2 million in annual sales and a 28% shop-level margin, which is competitive with higher-volume peers. This financial performance is supported by a strategic focus on drive-thru convenience and a diverse beverage menu that aligns with current consumer trends, particularly among Gen X and Millennials.
Furthermore, Black Rock Coffee Bar’s expansion strategy is ambitious yet feasible, with plans to increase its presence from 158 locations to at least 1,000 units by 2035, suggesting a compound annual growth rate of approximately 20%. The company’s ability to innovate and adapt its menu to maintain relevance also positions it well to capture a growing market share. The projected doubling of EBITDA over the next few years, driven by 20% annual unit growth, underpins the expectation of substantial revenue and earnings growth, justifying the premium valuation and the Buy rating.
In another report released today, Morgan Stanley also initiated coverage with a Buy rating on the stock with a $28.00 price target.
