How to read these numbers

Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.

Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.

No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.

Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.

Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.

Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2026 Q2

Can you talk about why you view that as the right level versus maybe the prior ceiling of 400 stores

Show response

Scott defended roughly 350 company openings a year as the sustainable pace, with incremental growth coming from partner-operated international markets.

Calendar 2025 Q3

So one is that the strategy for 2026? And then two, is this a change in philosophy that you're prioritizing traffic growth over margin expansion?

Show response

Adam confirmed not planning to fully offset mid-single-digit inflation in 2026. Pricing will be gradual rather than all at once. Scott reaffirmed 40% flow-through as long-term goal.

So is that still the case for 2026? Or I guess what would be a reasonable time to get back there?

Show response

Scott maintained confidence in mid-single-digit comp return, contingent on macro. Economists suggest Q4-Q1 toughest for under-$100K cohort, easing in Q2.
