Maxim analyst Stephen Anderson raised his price target on Cracker Barrel to $170 citing his updated model with a "new base valuation year". The analyst also kept his Hold rating, stating that while he sees improvement in comps, he prefers to await for a pullback in the stock price. Anderson adds that margin pressure in food costs is also offsetting some of the SSS increase positives, but raises his FY19 EPS view to $9.94 from $9.86, expecting "continued sales improvement and a return to a benign food cost environment."
