Loop Capital analyst Alton Stump lowered the firm’s price target on Papa John’s (PZZA) to $60 from $73 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm cites the company’s negative pre-announcement calling for Q4 comps to fall 4% as its franchised comp performance was unfavorable to the down 2.5%-3.0% range that Loop’s latest checks published in November picked up through the third week of the month, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
