WHAT TO WATCH

-- Blackstone bought a majority stake in Jersey Mike's Subs early last year for about $6 billion plus debt. A team of roughly a dozen Blackstone dealmakers and executives then focused on readying Jersey Mike's for an IPO over the subsequent year and a half, The Wall Street Journal previously reported. The New Jersey-born chain had its public debut in July, valuing the company at roughly $8 billion.

-- Jersey Mike's is aiming to grow from about 3,300 stores to 15,000 worldwide, meaning the company has to start winning over Gen Z in an era of fickle wellness trends and viral food crazes. Roughly 70% of Jersey Mike's customers are Gen Xers or Boomers, while Gen Z accounts for just 2%, according to Wall Street analyst reports citing company figures. In an effort to reach more Gen Z customers, Jersey Mike's is shifting its TV-heavy advertising strategy toward more segmented channels such as Instagram and TikTok.

-- UBS analysts in August initiated coverage on Jersey Mike's with a buy rating and $28 price target. The analysts called the chain a unique asset, combining leading top-line growth, margins and cash generation, with a still significant store total addressable market. Over the next 10 years, UBS estimates that Jersey Mike's can generate 10% revenue growth. "We anticipate strategic plans across menu innovation, marketing, and digital & delivery should support continued positive same-store sales over the coming years, w/ a sizable new customer acquisition opportunity," they wrote.
