Why it matters

The restaurant industry has underperformed the S&P 500 over the past six months, declining 2.5% due to challenges such as perishable ingredients, labor shortages, and volatile consumer spending. This underperformance may lead to a sector rotation out of restaurant stocks. The S&P 500's 2.5% gain over the same period highlights the industry's relative weakness.
