What to Expect When Red Robin Gourmet Burgers (RRGB) Posts Q1 Results

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Red Robin Gourmet Burgers (RRGB) - Get Report  shares are sliding 1.56% to $61.70 on Friday afternoon despite expectations that the company will report a year-over-year increase in profit and revenue.

When the operator of casual and fast dining restaurants posts its 2016 first quarter results on Tuesday morning, Wall Street is looking for earnings of $1.11 a share on revenue of $416.3 million.

A year ago, the company earned $1.10 a share on revenue of $394.9 million. 

So far, the company has been consistently delivering robust comps growth for the past few quarters.

Analysts expect this trend to continue and traffic trends to be strong due to brand transformation initiatives and the launch of Ziosk tabletop tablets, according to Zacks Equity Research.

Separately, TheStreet Ratings currently has a "Buy" rating on the stock with a letter grade of B-.

The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, revenue growth, reasonable valuation levels and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins.
