Analysts at BTIG suggest that the earnings Shake Shack posted yesterday were better than expected. That may not add up at first glance to investors. The company reported revenues that missed analyst expectations. Additionally, Shake Shack provided forward-looking projections that missed what the Street was expecting.

Normally, these factors would result in a stock dipping hard. However, an upgrade and a $100 price target from BTIG suggests there’s potential SHAK stock has bottomed.

Among the factors BTIG has taken into consideration in coming up with this target is greater international travel, as well as a return to the work force, particularly among youth.

It appears analysts remain bullish on the company’s fundamentals, with upside trajectory overshadowing recent near-term results. Accordingly, longer-term investors seem to be jumping on SHAK stock right now.

SHAK stock currently still trades at a discount of roughly 35% from its peak earlier this year. Accordingly, there’s a value thesis to be had with owning this stock right now.
