Analysis:

TheStreet Quant Ratings

rates Chuy's Holdings as a

buy

. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, good cash flow from operations and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself.

Highlights from the ratings report include:

  • The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 1.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 19.1%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
  • CHUY'S HOLDINGS INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, CHUY'S HOLDINGS INC increased its bottom line by earning $0.70 versus $0.67 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.85 versus $0.70).
  • The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure industry. The net income increased by 55.9% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $3.45 million to $5.37 million.
  • Net operating cash flow has increased to $14.60 million or 27.43% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, CHUY'S HOLDINGS INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -59.23%.
  • CHUY has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Even though the company has a strong debt-to-equity ratio, the quick ratio of 0.48 is very weak and demonstrates a lack of ability to pay short-term obligations.
