Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Restaurants is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.

View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 48% growth a year, above the roughly 18% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 57% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskShake Shack's growth depends on expanding its store footprint to justify its price. Revenue growth has been steady, but the latest earnings report missed expectations. The stock trades at 54× P/E, which is 2.7× the peer median of 20.2. The market is pricing in more growth than expected, making the valuation look expensive. A specific risk is that if Shake Shack misses earnings again, it could face continued pressure. Peer multiples imply a price about 47% below where it trades; this read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-07-31. SHAK is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).

Above average on quality vs scored peers
A second lens on the 12-month fair value: for companies that score high on measured quality (profitability, balance-sheet safety, earnings stability), this read trusts more of today's profit margins instead of averaging them toward their multi-year history the way the headline number does. Shown alongside the fair value above, not in place of it. A diagnostic, not a price target or a buy/sell signal.
