Jack in the Box missed revenue targets but stunned investors with stronger-than-expected earnings, thanks to improved margins and a rebound in key metrics. New interim CEO Mark King is laser-focused on operational efficiency, franchisee profitability, and smarter marketing — even admitting there’s “a lot of work to do.” While a recent promotion flopped, new menu items like the Philly Cheesesteak helped stabilize sales. Rising ingredient costs and store closures remain challenges, but adjusted EPS and EBITDA beat forecasts, with full-year projections looking slightly better than analysts expected. The pace of closures has slowed due to lease obligations, prompting a third-party fix. King emphasized balancing premium and value offerings, calling cross-location operational excellence their toughest hurdle. Investors are now watching new menu performance, closure progress, and digital sales optimization as the company navigates cost pressures and refines its growth strategy.
