Sonic Corp (SONC)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company operates and franchises the chain of drive-in restaurants in the United States.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Well I was stuck between Wendys and Sonic, and decided I needed to go with a company I don't have access to as readily - we don't have Sonic on the west coast but I'm waiting for it to happen. SONC has done well over the years and the company continues to develop, innovate and intrigue.

Sure, it probably won't kill you, but it is unlikely to do much either.

I liked how the CEO appeared in a few interviews I saw. He seems enthusiastic about the company. Unfortunately, he's also the chairman of the board and the top 3 insiders have been selling large amounts of shares over $22 and exercising options over the past 120 days.

I'm shorting a slew of restaurants in which beef is a specialty item. They are going to get bombarded from every possible angle: increasing food costs brought on by massive increases in both transportation costs and the costs of feed for livestock; slowing consumer demand sparked by shrinking discretionary incomes; and rising wages for their employees brought on by the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007. Ouch.

Thumbs down on including APPB, CHUX, RT, RUTH, RYAN, SONC, STAR, TXRH.

Unique to other fast food with great areas for expansion.

US consumers continue to eat out no matter how bad it gets. They just go to fast food to do so - trade down. Plus highly franchised model isolates it from spikes in high food, labor, and energy costs.

These places are popping up all over the place like McDonalds. It's common sense that the more franchises are opened the more money they're going to make.
