Restaurant foot traffic fell by 0.3% in the second quarter, according to data from Placer.ai.<\/p>\n<p>Part of that slowdown comes from the fact that dining out is still expensive. Prices for food away from home were up 7.7% in June compared with a year ago, while grocery prices increased 4.7%. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsumers [are] increasingly less concerned about gas prices but more concerned about the price of\u00a0restaurants\u00a0and travel,\u201d said Katie Thomas, lead of the Kearney Consumer Institute. \u201cA strong labor market and declining inflation in core necessities has allowed consumers to spend discretionarily\u2014but not without noticing the increased cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is possible the concern hasn\u2019t yet translated to a significant pullback in spending just yet. While restaurant sales only gained 0.1% in June month-over-month, they\u2019re up 8.4% from a year ago. That compares to a 1.5% increase in spending across all retail categories. <\/p>\n<p>Indeed, investors seem to expect most restaurants to post solid quarterly results, with top performers on track to beat expectations. <\/p>\n<p>Analysts who are bullish on the restaurant industry point out the sector may perform better than other retail companies this earnings season. LPL Research projects the consumer discretionary sector will record double-digit earnings growth this quarter, with companies in the entertainment, hotel, restaurant, and leisure businesses contributing to the earnings boost. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect more evidence supporting the idea that consumers are choosing experiences over things, with restaurants at the forefront of this phenomena,\u201d agreed Citi analyst Jon Tower, in a Friday note to clients. <\/p>\n<p>Lower commodity prices and softening wage inflation could also help restaurants increase profit and improve margins this quarter, analysts say, especially since many have raised prices over the last couple of months. <\/p>\n<p>The conflicting datapoints suggest that consumers are at a crossroads\u2014do they prioritize spending on the experience of dining out, or do they try to save a penny or two by cooking at home? <\/p>\n<p>Many have come to a compromise: eating out at cheaper, more casual restaurants. <\/p>\n<p>That could help fast-food and fast-casual chains this quarter, and hurt sit-down restaurants with higher price points, analysts say. Fast food and fast casual restaurants comprised 60.4% of total restaurant visits in the second quarter, according to Placer.ai. Full-service restaurants only accounted for 33.6% of total visits in the quarter. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsumers will continue to seek value from restaurants, leading to risk of trade down into quick service,\u201d wrote Andrew Charles, analyst at TD Cowen.<\/p>\n<p>Write to Sabrina Escobar at sabrina.escobar@barrons.com<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/articles\/restaurant-earnings-reports-chipotle-d1d9ea2f?mod=investing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is restaurant week on Wall Street, as Domino\u2019s Pizza (ticker: DPZ), Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG), and McDonald\u2019s (MCD) prepare their latest earnings reports.
