BJ's Restaurants beats Q2 estimates with $0.94 EPS, $388.9M revenue
BJ's Restaurants reported Q2 EPS of $0.94, beating the $0.90 consensus, with revenue of $388.9 million.
The Huntington Beach, California-based casual dining chain posted earnings per share of $0.94 for the quarter ended June 30, compared with the $0.9024 analyst estimate, according to the company's earnings release. Revenue of $388.9 million topped the $384.4 million consensus forecast by $4.5 million, a 1.2 percent beat. EPS came in 4.2 percent above the consensus figure.
The company did not disclose same-store sales, guidance, or year-over-year comparisons in the initial release. BJ's Restaurants operates casual dining locations across the United States and trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker BJRI. The company competes with peers including Darden Restaurants, Texas Roadhouse, and Brinker International.
The results come as the broader casual dining sector reports earnings this season. Investors are watching restaurant chains for signs of consumer spending resilience, with labor costs and food inflation remaining key margin pressures across the industry.
The earnings beat on both metrics suggests the company managed costs effectively during the quarter. However, without same-store sales data or updated guidance, investors lack a full picture of underlying demand trends at BJ's Restaurants locations.
Investors will watch for management commentary on the earnings call for same-store sales trends and full-year guidance. The stock's reaction to the print will determine whether the beat was sufficient to move the shares, with the company's next major earnings report expected later this year.
