Dine Brands has exposure to popular restaurant chains like Applebee’s and IHOP. That means the decision to buy DIN stock will depend on your opinion of the effect that inflation may have on a customer’s decision to eat out.
At this point, analysts believe they will. They give DIN stock a consensus price target that is 27% higher than the stock’s current price. The stock is flat for the year, but it does appear to be overvalued at the moment. And the company is projected to post strong revenue and earnings growth that may propel it forward.
Unlike some small-cap stocks, Dine Brands has strong institutional ownership. And after slashing its dividend in 2021, the company recently raised the dividend. This combination of growth and value makes DIN stock a compelling investment.
