Dine Brands posted Q2 adjusted EBITDA of $54.2 million versus $56.2 million a year earlier and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.16 (prior $1.17). Total revenue rose 4.4% to $240.9 million, driven by restaurant acquisitions, while Applebee's comps fell 1.8% and IHOP comps rose 1.5%; Fuzzy’s posted positive comps. Adjusted free cash flow plunged to $3.7 million year‑to‑date amid higher CapEx of $23.2 million for remodels and dual‑brand conversions. Management maintained full‑year guidance, accelerated dual‑brand expansion (45 open, 80 target for year‑end), and authorized an additional $100 million buyback program. » Más en finance.yahoo.com

Dine Brands reported Q2 2026 revenue of $240.9 million, topping consensus, while adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.16 missed estimates. Adjusted EBITDA fell 3.6% to $54.2 million and adjusted free cash flow plunged sharply, while management left its full-year guidance unchanged and said it expects results at the lower end of the range. The company cited revenue gains from buybacks and acquisitions and operational improvements from its dual-brand strategy, but flagged risks from commodity inflation, higher G&A costs and tight liquidity. The stock rose about 3% premarket, suggesting the market viewed the revenue beat and progress in the turnaround program positively. » Más en de.investing.com
