Current thesis
The First Choice plan is showing some operational traction: 2025 adjusted EBITDA rose to $69.7 million from $45.6 million, restaurant-level margin improved to 12.7%, and management said December traffic outperformed the casual-dining industry for the first time since Q3 2024. If that carries into positive 2026 comps, the equity can rebound sharply from a distressed base.
