Stephens lowers its target

Stephens cut its Papa John's price target from USD 24.00 to USD 19.00 on October 15, 2026, while keeping an Equal Weight rating, Markets Insider reported. Nasdaq's USD 18.80 price at 3:50 p.m. EDT on October 20, 2026 was 1.06 percent below the new target.

Results date arrives November 5

Papa Johns will release third-quarter 2026 results before the market opens on November 5, 2026, with a conference call at 8:00 a.m. ET, according to the company's October 1, 2026 release published on Papa Johns.

Second-quarter pressure remains visible

For the second quarter ended June 28, 2026, revenue was USD 482.40 million and adjusted EBITDA was USD 53.00 million. The company also guided to 2026 adjusted EBITDA of USD 180.00 million to USD 190.00 million and global system-wide sales down 2.00 percent to 4.00 percent, as Benzinga reported from the earnings call.

The Nasdaq quotation was USD 18.80 at 3:50 p.m. EDT on October 20, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 18.68 to USD 55.74, market capitalization was USD 618.90 million, the price-to-earnings ratio was 23.80 and volume was 1,138,527 shares.

What investors will watch next

The November 5 report will test whether the stated adjusted EBITDA range can absorb the weaker sales outlook. The second-quarter revenue of USD 482.40 million and adjusted EBITDA of USD 53.00 million provide the operating baseline for that update.

For investors, the key contrast is between a USD 19.00 Stephens target and the USD 18.80 Nasdaq price, while the euro quotation remains below the latest German venue close.
