<h2>The Basics of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

Restaurant stocks that were hammered earlier in the week are starting to recover as markets respond to a major trade agreement between the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45347089/wall-street-rips-higher-as-tariff-truce-halts-us-china-economic-escalation"> U.S. and China. </a>
What To Know: After sharp declines sparked by President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff policy on Wednesday, a new 90-day truce announced Friday has led to a broad shift in sentiment, especially for consumer-facing sectors like restaurants.
The initial round of tariffs hit restaurant stocks hard due to their exposure to global supply chains, particularly in sourcing food machinery, packaging and commodities from China and other countries. 
Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>), which operates over 7,600 stores in China and relies heavily on coffee imports, was among the worst hit, falling more than 11% on Thursday. Chains like Shake Shack (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>), Dutch Bros (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>), CAVA Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAVA#NYSE">CAVA</a>), Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBRL#NASDAQ">CBRL</a>) and Portillos Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTLO#NASDAQ">PTLO</a>) also posted steep losses ranging from 7% to over 13% that day, as investors anticipated rising costs and disrupted sourcing channels. 
Friday&#8217;s announcement of a tariff rollback between the U.S. and China reversed much of the market&#8217;s earlier fear. The agreement, reached in Geneva, Switzerland, slashes U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30% and reduces Chinese tariffs on American goods from 125% to 10%, starting May 14. This decision effectively pauses one of the most aggressive protectionist escalations in recent trade history and removes a significant overhang for the restaurant industry.
The market&#8217;s reaction was immediate. U.S. equity futures surged, the dollar strengthened and recession probabilities dropped as optimism returned to the broader economy. 
For restaurants, the truce eases concerns over rising input costs, food inflation and supply chain disruptions, giving companies more clarity on operational planning and cost management in the short term. 
While many of these stocks are still recovering from the earlier losses, the tariff pause gives breathing room to an industry that was directly caught in the crossfire of escalating trade tensions. Investors are now watching for signs of sustained improvement in consumer sentiment and corporate earnings as the macroeconomic picture stabilizes.

Restaurant Stocks Rebound As US–China Tariff Truce Offers Sector Relief: What's Going On?

WING

YUMC

Shares of restaurant companies are trading higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. This could alleviate supply chain uncertainty in the sector.

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/05/07/final-trades-shake-shack-wynn-resorts-spotify-and-the-iyf.html">Halftime Report Final Trades</a>,&#8221; Joshua Brown, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, said he is bullish on Shake Shack Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>), which reported quarterly earnings last week. The company will open 40 to 50 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SHAK/earnings">new company-operated stores this year, he noted.</a>
On May 1, the company reported quarterly adjusted earnings per share of 14 cents, missing the street view of 16 cents. Quarterly sales of $320.90 million (up 10.5%) missed the analyst consensus estimate of $328.08 million.
Jim Lebenthal of Cerity Partners said the international expansion makes Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>) a growth stock.
On the earnings front, Wynn Resorts reported quarterly earnings of $1.07 per share on May 6, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.19 per share. The company also reported quarterly sales of $1.70 billion, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.74 billion.

Shannon Saccocia, chief investment officer of NB Private Wealth, named iShares U.S. Financials ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYF#NYSE">IYF</a>) as her final trade, saying lack of new regulation is a driver here.
Joseph M. Terranova, senior managing director for Virtus Investment Partners, said Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) hit another all-time high.
Spotify reported quarterly earnings of $1.13 per share on April 29, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $2.33. However, the company&#8217;s quarterly sales of $4.41 billion (4.19 billion euros), up 15% year over year, beat the analyst consensus estimate of $4.20 billion.
Price Action:
