10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

The Zacks <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/industry/retail-restaurants-160">Retail &ndash; Restaurants</a> industry is benefiting from increased sales. Rapid menu price hikes, average check growth and expansion efforts act as tailwinds. Industry participants also benefit from partnerships with delivery channels and digital platforms. Stocks like Brinker International, Inc. EAT, BJ&#39;s Restaurants, Inc. BJRI, Kura Sushi USA, Inc. KRUS and El Pollo Loco Holdings, Inc. LOCO are well-poised to benefit from the aforementioned factors. &nbsp; 
&nbsp;
Industry Description
The Zacks Retail &ndash; Restaurants industry comprises several owners and operators of casual, upscale casual, fine dining, full-service and fast-casual restaurants. Some industry participants operate as roasters, marketers and retailers of specialty coffee. Some companies develop, operate and franchise quick-service restaurants worldwide. A few restaurant operators offer cooked-to-order dishes, which include noodles and pasta, soups, salads and appetizers. Some industry players develop, own, operate, manage, and license restaurants and lounges worldwide. A few companies also run technology-enabled Japanese restaurants in the United States and provide Japanese cuisine through a revolving sushi service model.
4 Trends Shaping the Future of the Restaurant Industry
Robust Sales Growth: Restaurant sales continued their strong momentum in January, as consumers remained committed to dining out despite economic uncertainties. According to preliminary data from the U.S. Census Bureau, eating and drinking establishments generated $98.6 billion in seasonally adjusted sales, marking a steady increase from the previous month. This growth extended the sector&#39;s winning streak to 10 consecutive months. Restaurant spending remained notably higher than that a year ago, reflecting the industry&#39;s resilience and the sustained preference for dining experiences.
Digitalization to Drive Growth: Restaurant operators&#39; focus on digital innovation, sales-building initiatives and cost-saving efforts has been a catalyst. With the growing influence of the Internet, digital innovation is the need of the hour. Restaurant operators constantly partner with delivery channels and digital platforms to drive incremental sales. Partnerships with delivery channels like DoorDash, Grubhub, Postmates and Uber Eats, and the rollout of self-service kiosks and loyalty programs continue to drive growth.
Off-Premise Sales Act as Key Catalyst: The industry is gaining from the increase in off-premise sales, which primarily include delivery, takeout, drive-thru, catering, meal kits and off-site options, such as kiosks and food trucks. Most restaurant operators have initiated the testing of ghost or virtual kitchens. The idea of providing off-premise offerings and a connected curbside service has been garnering positive customer feedback.
Traffic Woes &amp; High Costs Linger: The restaurant industry has been facing declining traffic for quite some time. A rapid increase in menu prices is the primary reason behind traffic erosion. This decline highlights the ongoing challenges that the industry faces with maintaining customer counts, especially as consumers grow frustrated with rising prices. Then again, restaurant operators are grappling with the high cost of operations. Intense competition, high wages and food cost inflation are concerning. The industry continues to bear increased expenses, which have been affecting margins. Higher pre-opening costs, marketing expenses and costs related to sales-boosting initiatives are exerting pressure on the company&#39;s margins.
Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Bright Prospects
The Zacks Restaurant industry is grouped within the broader <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/sector/retail-wholesale-3">Retail-Wholesale</a> sector. It carries a Zacks Industry Rank #65, which places it in the top 26% of more than 248 Zacks industries.
The group&#39;s <a href="https://www.zacks.com/zrank/zacks-industry-rank.php">Zacks Industry Rank</a>, which is basically the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates bright near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
The industry&#39;s position in the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries results from a positive earnings outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate. Before we present a few stocks that you may want to consider for your portfolio, let us take a look at the industry&#39;s recent stock-market performance and valuation picture.

<h3>Why Insider Activity Matters in Finance</h3>
Insider transactions, although significant, should be considered within the larger context of market analysis and trends.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Exploring Key Transaction Codes</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a>, a primary focus lies on transactions occurring in the open market, as indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>The Relevance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. 
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.

지난 4월부터 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/01/36493680/mcdonalds-18-big-mac-meal-goes-viral-again-as-fast-food-minimum-wage-hike-to-20-triggers-fears-of-sk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">캘리포니아</a> 주 내 패스트푸드 직원들은 최저 시급 20달러를 받게 되었다.
이번 달 초부터 시행된 새 법률 덕분에 미국 전역에 60개 이상의 매장을 보유한 캘리포니아의 패스트푸드 체인점들은 그들의 직원들에게 더 많은 임금을 지급해야 한다.
작은 규모의 패스트푸드 점포들은 여전히 시간당 16달러의 주 최저임금을 적용받는다.
가장 큰 상장 패스트푸드 기업들로는 맥도날드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>); 스타벅스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>); 타코벨(Taco Bell)과 피자헛(Pizza Hut) 및 KFC를 소유하고 있는 얌! 브랜즈 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>); 웬디스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEN#NASDAQ">WEN</a>); 버거킹(Burger King)를 소유한 레스토랑 브랜드 인터내셔널(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NASDAQ">QSR</a>); 치폴레 멕시칸 그릴(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>); 파파 존스 인터내셔널(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PZZA#NASDAQ">PZZA</a>) 그리고 잭인더박스 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JACK#NASDAQ">JACK</a>)) 등이 있다.
4월 1일에 이 법률이 시행된 이후 이 기업들의 많은 주식들이 가치를 잃었다.

캘리포니아에서는 최저임금 인상이 꼭 필요하다고 여겨졌다. 무엇보다, <a href="https://www.rentcafe.com/cost-of-living-calculator/us/ca/">캘리포니아에서의 생활비</a>는 미국 전국 평균보다 약 38% 높다.
일부 패스트푸드 기업들은 직원 근무시간을 줄이고 메뉴 가격을 올리는 방안을 고려하고 있다.
인-앤-아웃 버거(In-N-Out Burger)의 사장 린시 스나이더(<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEN#NASDAQ">Lynsi Snyder</a>)는 투데이(Today)와의 <a href="https://www.today.com/video/in-n-out-burger-president-shares-story-behind-family-run-business-208611397732">인터뷰</a>에서 &#8220;이 가격으로는 인상할 수 없다&#8221;고 말했다.
주로 캘리포니아에 400개 이상의 레스토랑을 소유하고 있는 그녀의 회사는 계속해서 비상장 기업으로 운영되고 있다. 스나이더는 프랜차이즈 모델을 공개하거나 공개할 계획이 없다고 말했다.
그러나 인-앤-아웃은 로스앤젤레스의 매장들에서 햄버거 한 개당 약 25센트씩 가격을 올렸다. 이는 다른 음식점들이 시행했던 가격 인상에 비해 낮은 수치이다.
뉴욕 포스트에 <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/11/business/in-n-out-president-lynsi-snyder-went-toe-to-toe-to-keep-menu-prices-down/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">따르면</a>, 로스앤젤레스의 버거킹 한 곳에서는 &#8220;더블 텍사스 와퍼(Double Texas Whopper)&#8221;의 가격이 15.09달러에서 16.89달러로 12% 인상되었다고 한다.
지난해 9월 법이 통과되기도 전에 많은 레스토랑 체인이 임금 인상 준비에 착수했다. 일부 회사에서는 자동화를 전략으로 모색하고 있으며, 이는 2017년 셀프 서비스 주문 키오스크를 통해 시작된 <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-self-serve-kiosks-at-mcdonalds-mean-for-cashiers-2017-6">트렌드</a>이다.
인사이더(Insider)에 <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/california-fast-food-minimum-wage-order-kiosks-burger-king-popeyes-2024-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">따르면</a> 버거킹과 같은 주요 패스트푸드 프랜차이즈들은 새로운 디지털 주문 키오스크를 기존 직원들을 대체하기 위해 사용하고 있다고 한다.
버거킹 경영진은 최근에 발표한 보고서에서 디지털 셀프 서비스 화면과 상호작용할 때 손님들이 보다 큰 식사를 주문하는 경향이 있다고 지적했다.
10월에 캘리포니아 주지사인 개빈 뉴섬(Gavin Newsom)이 해당 법률에 서명한 후 맥도날드의 CEO인 크리스 켐프친스키(Chris Kempczinski)는 회사의 3분기 실적에 대한 통화에서 이 정책이 &#8220;단기간 내 프랜차이즈의 현금흐름에 확실히 타격을 줄 것&#8221;이라고 말했다.
그러나 이 새로운 법의 부차적인 영향은 캘리포니아의 패스트푸드 부문에 더 큰 문제를 일으킬 수도 있다. 잭인더박스(Jack-In-The-Box) 프랜차이즈 소유자는 일요일 비지니스 인사이더(Business Insider)와의 <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fast-food-california-expensive-diners-could-switch-to-chilis-applebees-2024-4">인터뷰</a>에서 패스트푸드 체인의 가격 상승이 브링커 인터내셔널(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAT#NYSE">EAT</a>) 또는 다인 브랜즈 글로벌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIN#NYSE">DIN</a>)의 자회사 애플비(Applebee)가 소유한 칠리스(Chili&#8217;s)와 같은 캐주얼 식당의 시장 점유율 손실을 의미할 수 있다고 추측했다.
캐주얼 다이닝 레스토랑은 가격을 변경하지 않고 계속 운영할 수 있다면 이익을 얻을 수 있다.
