Sonic Corp (SONC)

good potential

Currently re-franchising its restaurants and still building new ones. FCF yield = 7.4%, P/E = 11.87, EV/EBITDA = 6.227.

Food sucks, MCD will beat it out...

Sonic is trying to expand to the midwest. I recently went to one of their restaurants. The drive-in concept was confusing enough, you could not understand a word being said through the speakers.

Also the girl bringing the food almost dumped it on my lap. It does'nt seem that they test for roller-skating skills.

But the part that leads to my red-thumb was that the burger sucked!

It's all in the difference between grass fed beef which sonic is selling, and corn fed.

This may go over well in California but not in Illinois, IMHO.

a good fast food chain keep on growing

$10.00/share, P/E of 11.39, company has grown profits over past 5-10 years, room to expand, my family are big fans. Company highlighted in Jason Jennings' book "Think big, act small"

This stock will increase over the next several months.

The stock is beaten down unnecessarily and the company is well-positioned to not only survive the downturn, but achieve growth during and afterwards. And the tots are awesome.

my daughter works there. she says they are always busy.

guru short

Shares were recently punished for missing estimates by $0.03 and lowering guidance. (Potential covering of) high short interest and recent institutional purchases should provide support for shares.

This stock is projected by Value Line to double earnings in the next five years, has actually doubled earnings in the past five years, is selling at price-earnings multiples (P/Es) that are 110 percent or less of Value Line's projected earnings growth rate, and has a safety rating of average or better.

SImply put- they have the best quality food in this category. However, few have tries because they are still growing. As they grow their business should exponetionally

Great food, best breakfast burrito ever in my opinion. They have god financials, plus cheaper fast food is going to stay in good business. The sit down places like Chili's and Ruby Tuesday will take a hit with rising gas prices. Also, Sonic has hilarious commercials

New 52 week low. Play on trade down from casual dining.

It's just a great concept and the food is wicked pissa. The new happy hour is a hit.

To be honest, I picked this stock because I am a very loyal Sonic customer. I go there every day and hate it when I travel to areas of the country where Sonic is not available. They do a great job with their franchising opportunities and maintain consistency across their stores. Fast food is here to stay.

I'm shorting a slew of restaurants in which beef is a specialty item. They are going to get bombarded from every possible angle: increasing food costs brought on by massive increases in both transportation costs and the costs of feed for livestock; slowing consumer demand sparked by shrinking discretionary incomes; and rising wages for their employees brought on by the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007. Ouch.

Thumbs down on including APPB, CHUX, RT, RUTH, RYAN, SONC, STAR, TXRH.

Unique to other fast food with great areas for expansion.
