How to read these bars and different assessments

Council is a separate blend of available disciplines; MoonshotScore above remains the five-pillar research rating.

Bars show each model's ordered assessment on its own scale, not a probability or a comparable investment return. The adjacent words give the assessment; more filled segments indicate a stronger model reading.

On Sep 10, 2026, the Munger lens read the price at that time as overvalued against its own estimate of value.

Readings on this page are from Oct 5, 2026, except a card that shows its own read date.

1 · What is it?

What is The Cheesecake Factory (CAKE), and what does it report?

Short answer · as of

The company generates revenue from food and beverage sales across more than one hundred restaurant locations in company-owned and operated stores.

Research dated 2026-09-13.

The company generates revenue from food and beverage sales across more than one hundred restaurant locations in company-owned and operated stores. It also produces baked goods from owned facilities and sells them to franchise partners, third-party foodservice operators, and retailers. The business model is capital-intensive: operating a restaurant requires substantial upfront investment in equipment, build-out, and working capital, and ongoing costs for labor, rent, and food purchases. Profitability depends on traffic, pricing power, and labor productivity. Economic downturns, shifts in consumer spending, or wage inflation each have outsized effects on margins. The balance sheet is heavily leveraged relative to equity, leaving limited room for margin compression.

2 · Latest results

What do the latest results show for The Cheesecake Factory (CAKE)?

Short answer · as of

The most recent reported quarter, Q2 FY2026, carried revenue of $1.03B.

Research dated 2026-09-13.

Recent quarters show sustained improvement in earnings and restaurant-level cash generation. Per-share earnings have climbed steadily across the current year. Revenue growth has come from a combination of additional locations and comparable sales gains. Management's commentary suggests labor inflation has moderated from prior peaks, though food and commodity costs remain elevated relative to historical averages. The pace of improvement suggests the company has not only recovered from pandemic disruption but is growing above its post-reopening baseline.

3 · Financial strengths and risks

What are the financial strengths and risks for The Cheesecake Factory (CAKE)?

Short answer

Cash and short-term investments were $0.00 at the Jun 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. This figure does not establish a cash runway.

Research dated 2026-09-13.

The balance sheet carries substantial debt relative to both equity and cash generation. The company generates positive operating cash flow but allocates much of it to debt service and capital expenditure. The cash balance is modest relative to short-term obligations, leaving limited liquidity cushion in a downturn. Financial stress would come from a sustained drop in traffic or a sharp increase in labor costs that compresses margins faster than the company can raise prices. Quick ratio and current ratio both sit below protective levels for a capital-intensive business.

4 · What to check next?

What should you watch next at The Cheesecake Factory (CAKE)?

Short answer · as of

Current published price targets run low $60.00 · high $110.00 · consensus $83.64 · median $88.00 against a quoted price of $109.65 (as of Oct 2, 2026).

Research dated 2026-09-13.

Watch comparable store sales trends reported at each earnings release—they indicate whether traffic growth is real or offset by pricing. Labor cost per unit and average check size matter more than headline revenue growth. Insider transactions have been dominated by sales over the half-year window; when insiders who have meaningful positions execute concentrated selling, it warrants attention, though equity awards and tax withholding are also large contributors. Capital allocation decisions—whether the company prioritizes debt reduction or expansion—will signal management confidence.

5 · Peer comparison

How does The Cheesecake Factory compare with its peers?

Short answer

The Cheesecake Factory's score ranks 4th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.

Research dated 2026-09-13.

Versus other upscale casual chains, Cheesecake Factory is highly leveraged and operates under a higher debt-to-equity ratio than most peers. The menu and portion sizes command pricing premiums in its segment, and that pricing power distinguishes it from lower-priced competitors. Analyst coverage is split between those optimistic on margin recovery and those cautious on labor and commodity headwinds. The key difference is that Cheesecake Factory's capital structure is less forgiving of operational setbacks than competitors with lighter balance sheets.

Common Questions About CAKE (Consumer Cyclical)

Research dated 2026-09-13; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 2 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.

Why does the Cheesecake Factory have such high debt-to-equity when it's generating positive cash flow?

The company was heavily leveraged to open new restaurants and acquire sub-brands before the pandemic. Capital expenditure and debt service consume a large share of operating cash flow, limiting net debt reduction. Operating cash flow alone cannot retire debt at a pace that materially lightens the leverage ratio.

Sources (as of 2026-09-13): Cash, investments and debt; Trailing twelve-month ratio set; Operating cash flow by quarter (USD millions)

How does Cheesecake Factory compete against higher-end steakhouses and casual dining chains?

The company occupies middle ground: more elaborate and expensive than fast-casual chains, but less formal than fine dining. Menu breadth and portion sizes allow it to command premium pricing. The brand equity in the flagship locations allows it to drive traffic independent of location or surrounding retailers, unlike strip-mall tenants.

Sources (as of 2026-09-13): Revenue by segment; Business description; Reported versus estimated, last 8 quarters

Is the company burdened by its debt, or can it manage it?

Operating cash flow currently covers debt service and capital needs. The risk emerges if traffic or margins decline—the debt load leaves no room to absorb a downturn. A prolonged recession or structural shift in dining patterns could force asset sales or refinancing at unfavorable terms.

Sources (as of 2026-09-13): Cash, investments and debt; Cash against market value; Operating cash flow by quarter (USD millions)

Have insider executives been buying or selling the stock?

Insiders have been net sellers over the past half-year, though much of this is tied to equity awards, tax withholding, and contractual plan sales. No substantial open-market purchases have been reported, which offers limited signal about management confidence at current price levels.

The 27 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.

"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.

Purchase and sale counts require explicit provider transaction types, without a conflicting acquisition/disposition direction. Other transactions retain their provider type; awards, exercises, gifts and in-kind transactions are not counted as purchases or sales. Net shares sums acquired minus disposed shares across direction-known records, including other transaction types; unknown directions are excluded. It is not net purchases or a verified change in beneficial ownership. Named-insider counts, same-day clusters and positive reported prices cover all retained records. Filing dates are used only when transaction dates are absent. Neither timing nor price establishes motive or whether a transaction was on the open market.
