I’m surprised the market is still spooked at their capital expenditure despite their shops printing money off their diehard customers, popular drinks, and small real estate. Expansion is good in the long run even if you’re spending money now to do it. $75 price target still remains and seems targeted for growth once they expansion plans die down.
And down..
