In less than three months.\nNoting that Guzman y Gomez shares were trading at $38.70 on 10 October, Garipoli said:\n\nThe stock price has exceeded the forecasts of most analysts. GYG expects to open another 31 restaurants in fiscal year 2025. With an ambitious store expansion profile, we believe the valuation is stretched.\nIt may be prudent to take a profit at current levels.\n\nWhat's the latest from the ASX 200 fast food retailer?\nThe Mexican fast food company released its first quarter update last Thursday, 10 October.\nGuzman y Gomez shares closed up 0.2% on the day but finished in the red for the following three trading days.\nOn the positive front, the company reported network sales of $278.8 million, up 20.7% from the prior corresponding quarter.\nHowever, this was less than what was indicated by the company's prospectus forecast.\nWhile its Australian business saw a 21.1% increase in network sales to $260.2 million, the company's nascent US business reported network sales of $2.6 million, down 3.7% year on year.\nAs Motley Fool analyst James Mickleboro pointed out on the day, \"This is disappointing, given how the market sees its US expansion as one way to justify its lofty valuation.\"\nManagement said the year on year pullback in its US sales were due to \"the prior corresponding period benefiting from initial higher sales associated with new restaurant openings\".\nHighlighting Garipoli's recommendation to take profit on Guzman y Gomez shares, management reiterated the company's intent to open 31 new restaurants in Australia in FY 2025.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.1","shortVersion":"4.29.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2476293349"}
