$LOCO Fits like a Taco bowl Butterfly Equity’s Qdoba Acquisition Wins Deal of the Year Emilee Wentland Apr 25, 2024 Updated Apr 25, 2024 Francesco-D-Arcangelo-1000px.jpg Butterfly Equity Principal Francesco D’Arcangelo, left, and Qdoba CEO John Cywinski at Butterfly’s headquarters in Beverly Hills, California. Photo by Kyle Ellis Butterfly Equity principal Francesco D'Arcangelo has been involved in acquiring Qdoba twice, once from Jack in the Box and, more recently, from his former employer, Apollo Global Management. Now, Butterfly plans to double 750-unit Qdoba's store count in a matter of years. That would keep the brand trailing behind Chipotle's 3,500 locations—but Qdoba is perfectly content sitting at No. 2.

$LOCO delivers an earnings beat and a traffic uptick — is it the real deal? 🚀 🍗 Q2 adjusted EPS of 28 cents topped estimates as system-wide traffic rose 0.8%, reflecting sequential improvement and driven by menu innovation and strategic discounting. 📈 Operating margins improved to 19.1%, aided by efficiency gains in labor deployment and modest commodity relief. Find out if LOCO's momentum can sustain its gains here 👉 https://www.zacks.com/stock/news/2758910/strong-traffic-trends-at-el-pollo-loco-a-signal-for-more-upside?cid=sm-stocktwits-2-2758910-body-14487&ADID=SYND_STOCKTWITS_TWEET_2_2758910_BODY_14487
