AI commentary
Consensus analyst coverage shows modest upside to the anchor with a median near our base target, reflecting steady confidence in the franchised model but limited near-term multiple expansion [#SERP-3][#SERP-1]. Market commentary emphasizes unit growth and international execution as the primary upside drivers, while downside focus centers on China exposure and input-cost pressure [#SERP-2].
