NBA superstar Shaquille O&#8217;Neal has reaped significant financial rewards from an unintentional investment in tech behemoth Google, contributing to his present net worth of approximately $500 million.
What Happened: O&#8217;Neal, who is renowned for his tenure with&nbsp;the LA Lakers, Orlando Magic,&nbsp;and Miami Heat, has been diversifying his investments into various businesses&nbsp;since his retirement in 2011. 
His portfolio includes prominent companies such as Apple Inc., Papa John&#8217;s, Krispy Kreme, and Five Guys.
Nevertheless, it was his investment in&nbsp;Google that turned out to be especially profitable for the retired basketball player. O&#8217;Neal disclosed that his investment in Google was the result of a fortuitous meeting with a man who introduced him to the then-emerging company. 
The exact amount O&#8217;Neal has earned from his Google investment remains undisclosed. However, The Motley Fool <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/11/25/if-you-invested-10000-in-googles-ipo-this-is-how-m.aspx">reported </a>that a $10,000 investment in Google in 2004 would have grown to over $300,000 by 2019.&nbsp;

O&#8217;Neal reportedly rakes in $60&nbsp;million annually from his business investments and endorsements, surpassing his earnings during his basketball career&#8217;s zenith.
Why It Matters: O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s successful investment in Google underscores the potential of tech investments, particularly in startups. 
His investment journey serves as a testament to the power of diversification and the importance of seizing opportunities. 
His financial success post-retirement also highlights the potential for athletes to build sustainable wealth beyond their sports careers.

The company reported adjusted earnings per share of 43 cents, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b41802404/papa-johns-announces-third-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">in line with the street view</a>. Quarterly sales of $506.81 million (down 3.1%) beat the analyst consensus estimate of $497.27 million.
&#8220;During the third quarter, we delivered earnings in line with our expectations in what continues to be a very challenging consumer environment,&#8221; said Papa John&#8217;s CEO Todd Penegor.
The lower revenues were mainly due to a $9.9 million decrease in international revenues from UK restaurants, an $8.5 million drop in domestic restaurant sales from lower transaction volumes, and a $4.8 million decrease from the sale of Preferred Marketing, the former print and promotions company.

North America comparable sales were down 6% from a year ago. Domestic Company-owned restaurants were down 7%, and North America franchised restaurants were down 5%. International comparable sales were down 3% compared to the previous year.
Adjusted operating income was $29.3 million, a $4.3 million, or 12.9%, decrease from the same period a year ago.
The decrease in adjusted operating income for was mainly due to lower margins at Domestic Company-owned restaurants. This was because the company strategically reinvested some of its first-half savings to improve consumer value perception.
As of Sept. 29, there were 5,908 Papa Johns restaurants operating in 49 countries and territories.
Dividend: On Oct. 29, the firm declared a fourth-quarter dividend of 46 cents per common share. The dividend will be paid on November 29 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 18.

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cbrl#NASDAQ">CBRL</a>) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 results on Sept. 19. In the last reported quarter, CBRL registered an earnings surprise of 57.1%.
<h2>Trend in Estimate Revision</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal fourth-quarter earnings per share is pegged at $1.17, which indicates a deterioration of 34.6% from $1.79 reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at $898.8 million, which implies an increase of 7.4% from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported figure.
Let&#39;s check out the factors that might have influenced CBRL&#39;s performance in the quarter to be reported.
<h2>Factors at Play for CBRL</h2>
Cracker Barrel&#39;s fiscal fourth-quarter top line is likely to have been aided by menu innovation, higher menu pricing, expansion and other sales-building efforts. Given the growing demand for its breakfast category, including Homestyle Chicken, French Toast, Barrel Bites and beverages, Cracker Barrel introduced its $5 take-home meals at the beginning of fiscal 2024, which is expected to have aided the company&#39;s top line.
The company is also benefiting from growth in off-premise sales. It continues to focus on off-premise initiatives, such as curbside delivery, third-party delivery and family meal baskets. These efforts are likely to have aided the off-premise sales.
Our model predicts Restaurant and Retail revenues to be $715.9 million and $168.2 million, respectively, up 7.9% and 6.9% year over year. However, dismal traffic and same-store sales are expected to have negatively impacted the company&#39;s results. Our model predicts retail same-store sales to decline 0.5% year over year. CBRL&#39;s retail business faces challenges stemming from broader industry pressures, particularly in discretionary categories.
Strategic investments in advertising and labor are likely to have increased costs and exerted margin pressure in the to-be-reported quarter. For fourth-quarter fiscal 2024, our model predicts labor and other related expenses&nbsp; to rise 9% year over year to $332.6 million. We expect store-operating expenses to increase 8.4% year over year to $821.6 million. Our model predicts adjusted-operating income to decline 30.7% year over year to $27.6 million.

Top 3 Consumer Stocks That May Fall Off A Cliff In Q3

Papa John's Announces PepsiCo As Exclusive Beverage Supplier For North America Through 10-Year Contract Renewal

Papa John&#39;s International, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pzza#NASDAQ">PZZA</a>) will likely benefit from digital initiatives, menu innovation and unit-expansion efforts. This and the emphasis on strategic refranchising bode well. However, a challenging macro environment and soft comps are a headwind.
Let&#39;s delve deeper.
<h2>Strategic Efforts Aid PZZA&#39;s Prospects</h2>
Innovation and Digital Enhancements: Innovation remains key to Papa John&#39;s strategy. The company is expanding its pipeline of differentiated menu offerings, designed to boost customer satisfaction and enhance brand loyalty. Investments in digital platforms are expected to drive higher conversion rates and repeat transactions. The recent app update and improvements in the loyalty program are already showing promising results, with enhanced user experience and streamlined customer journeys.
Improving PZZA&#39;s Value Perception: Papa John&#39;s is realigning its marketing and product offerings to better cater to value-conscious consumers. Initiatives such as the launch of the $9.99 cheeseburger pizza and the $10.99 extra-large New York-style pizza have begun to improve the brand&#39;s value perception. It is also testing various value offers in certain markets to identify opportunities that are likely to drive growth in restaurant-level profits.
International Growth and Transformation: On the international front, the company is making significant strides in optimizing its operations, particularly in the U.K. It closed 43 underperforming restaurants and refranchised 60, leaving 13 company-owned locations in the U.K. This strategic refranchising is expected to make the U.K. market profitable in the second half of 2024. It is executing a global marketing campaign, &lsquo;Better Get You Some,&#39; which already started to yield positive results across various regional hubs.
<h2>PZZA Headwinds: Dismal Price &amp; Comps Performance</h2>
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/6c/75539.jpg?v=1748170985" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Stock Performance: Year to date, shares of Papa John&#39;s have declined 36.3% against the industry&#39;s rise of 0.2%. Softer sales trends driven by macroeconomic pressures and shifts in consumer spending primarily caused the downside.
Dismal Comps Hurt Papa John&#39;s: In the second quarter, total comparable sales declined 2.7% year over year compared with a 1.3% fall reported in the prior-year quarter. Domestic company-owned restaurant comps in the quarter fell 4.2% year over year compared with 2.2% growth reported in the year-ago quarter. At North America franchised restaurants, comps fell 3.4% year over year against a 2.3% decline reported in the year-ago quarter. Comps growth at North America restaurants declined 3.6% year over year. The downside was primarily caused by lower transactions attributable to a decline in its organic delivery and a lower estimated year-over-year shift in channel mix.
PZZA anticipates the trend to continue on account of ongoing economic challenges and weakening consumer confidence. The company adjusted its full-year guidance to reflect this cautious outlook, anticipating North America&#39;s comparable sales to range from flat to a slight decline for the entirety of 2024.
<h2>Time to Keep an Eye on PZZA Stock?</h2>
Despite near-term challenges, Papa John&#39;s is strategically positioning itself for long-term success. Its focus on enhancing value perception, driving innovation, optimizing digital channels and improving international operations provides a solid foundation for growth. Investors should consider retaining PZZA stock as the company navigates this transitional phase. The Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) justifies our thesis.
<h2>Key Picks</h2>
Some better-ranked stocks in the Zacks Retail-Wholesale sector include:
Texas Roadhouse, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/txrh#NASDAQ">TXRH</a>) sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 0.4%, on average. TXRH&#39;s shares have risen 62.3% in the past year.

암호화폐 세계의 전설적인 날인 5월 22일은 비트코인(CRYPTO:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc-usd" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for BTC/USD">BTC</a>) ​​피자의 날로 기념된다. 현재 수천 달러의 가치가 있는 이 디지털 화폐가 이날 처음으로 상업적 목적으로 사용되었다.
어떤 일이 있었나 (What Happened): 약 14년 전, 플로리다에 거주하는 소프트웨어 개발자 라즐로 하니에츠(Laszlo Hanyecz)는 자신도 모르게 암호화폐 커뮤니티에 소중한 날을 선물했다. 그는 파파존스 인터내셔널(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PZZA#NASDAQ">PZZA</a>)에서 피자 2판 값을 지불하기 위해 10,000 비트코인을 지불했다.
비트코인 <a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0">포럼</a>에 안전하게 보존된 이 역사적인 대화는 이벤트의 전환에 대한 세부정보를 공개한다.
2010년 5월 18일, 하니에츠는 &#8220;피자 두 판에 10,000 비트코인을 지불하겠습니다&#8230; 예를 들어 큰 피자 2판 정도라면 다음 날 먹을 분량이 남을 것이다&#8221;라고 썼다.
그의 전화는 응답되었고, 4일 만에 그는 포럼에 10,000 비트코인을 피자 두 판으로 &#8220;성공적으로&#8221; 교환했다고 업데이트했다.
이 포럼의 대화에 따르면, 이 역사적인 날 1 비트코인의 가치는 0.0041달러였으며, 총 구매 금액은 41달러였다.
왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>의 데이터에 따르면, 지금은 2024년이고 비트코인은 당시 무명 디지털 통화에서 이 글을 쓰는 시점을 기준으로 1단위가 70,000달러에 해당하는 세계에서 가장 가치 있는 자산 중 하나로 발전했다.
이제 이 두 개의 피자는 7억 달러에 가까운 가치가 있게 돼서, 이는 역사상 가장 비싼 피자로 기록된다.
이 킹 크립토는 14년 동안 17,073,170배라는 놀라운 폭등을 기록했는데, 이는 현대 금융 역사상 유례가 없는 위업이다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38517674/cathie-wood-raises-her-bitcoin-prediction-by-2-3-million-what-1-000-invested-could-be-wort" target="_blank" rel="noopener">비트코인의 가치가 앞으로 수백만 달러</a>에 달할 것이라는 예측과 함께, 이 상징적인 날짜는 암호화폐의 겸손한 시작을 계속해서 상기시키는 중요한 역할을 할 것이다.
파파존스의 주식은 시간외 거래에서 0.35% 상승했다.

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.
