Guzman y Gomez, a Mexican food chain, has seen its stock price rise by 38% since its ASX debut in June 2024, following an upgrade from UBS due to strong earnings potential. The company opened 15 new stores in the first half of FY25, with a forecast of 31 for the year, and is benefiting from a new menu that includes breakfast and coffee. UBS has raised its EBITDA forecasts, projecting AU$450 million in revenue and AU$30 million in EBIT for FY25, up from AU$342.2 million in revenue for FY24.
Guzman y Gomez shares surged after UBS analyst Shaun Cousins upgraded the fast food chain from sell to neutral, raising the 12-month price target from $37 to $40. The positive outlook is driven by anticipated sales growth, menu innovations, and increased delivery orders, with the company aiming for 1,000 outlets in Australia over the next 20 years. Currently, Guzman operates over 220 locations across Australia, Singapore, Japan, and the US.
