The company’s robust management team has been driving ongoing franchise development deals, strategic marketing efforts, and execution of a five-pillar strategy. Over the past 30 days, the company’s consensus EPS estimate has remained steady with quarterly earnings projected to be $0.01 per share and revenues estimated at $122.2 million. InvestingPro Tips also highlights that Potbelly has been consistently increasing its earnings per share and has seen a significant return over the last week.

However, it’s worth noting that while the company’s revenue growth has been impressive, at 15.29% according to InvestingPro’s data, it has been slowing down recently. Furthermore, the company’s net income is expected to drop this year, and its short-term obligations exceed its liquid assets. These are crucial factors that investors should consider when evaluating Potbelly’s financial health.
