** UBS ("neutral" PT: $295): Pressures from challenging macro, increasingly competitive promotional environment are likely to weigh on sales trends through Q4 and into 2026

** Bernstein ("outperform" PT: $350): Views broadening consumer pressure in Q3 as temporary, but sees no clear catalysts to lift sentiment heading into FY26

** Jefferies ("buy" PT: $350): Says acceleration in 2026 is still attainable, with robust development, visibility under a franchised model limiting downside risk in an uncertain environment
