S&P 500 Movers: ORCL, RCL

U.S. retail sales slowed in October as higher prices, which were largely due to President Donald Trump’s tariffs, barred consumers from spending freely. Inflation continues to be high, and consumers have been spending cautiously.
However, consumers continued to spend aggressively on dining out amid this uncertainty. Sales at restaurants and drinking places rose in September and are likely to grow further during the ongoing holiday season.
Given this situation, it would be ideal to invest in restaurant stocks with a strong online presence. We have selected three stocks, namely, Yum China Holdings YUM, BJ's Restaurants, Inc. BJRI and El Pollo Loco Holdings, Inc. LOCO.
These stocks have seen positive earnings estimate revisions in the past 60 days and are set for solid returns.
Restaurant Sales Rise
Sales at food services and drinking places totaled $88.5 billion in September, increasing 0.7% sequentially and 5.7% from year-ago levels, the Commerce Department said last month. This came as retail sales slowed in September, increasing just 0.2% month over month after jumping 1% in August. Restaurant sales are the only services component in the retail sales report.
Retail sales have slowed as consumers tend to spend less owing to higher commodity prices. Part of the rise in prices is being triggered by Trump’s new tariffs, which have raised concerns about a slowing economy.
However, consumers are still spending aggressively on dining out. Investors are worried about a shrinking labor market, but inflation has somewhat eased over the past few months, which saw the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points each in September and October.
Investors are also expecting another quarter percentage point rate cut in December. Markets are pricing in an 87.6% chance of a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.
Also, the holiday season has started on a positive note and restaurant sales are likely to get a boost. A rate cut coupled with expectations of higher spending during the holiday season bodes well for the restaurant industry.
3 Restaurant Stocks With Upside
Yum China Holdings
Yum China Holdings operates both company-owned and franchised restaurants. YUMC’s brands include The KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. The company also owns East Dawning, Little Sheep and COFFii & JOY.

Today's Featured Research Reports
Microsoft’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Computer - Software industry over the year-to-date period (+17.8% vs. +13.3%). The company’s fiscal first-quarter 20256 results demonstrate robust fundamental strength, with earnings and revenue exceeding expectations driven by cloud and AI business momentum alongside Copilot adoption.
Azure's 40% growth and $392 billion commercial remaining performance obligation signal sustained demand, while diversified revenue streams across productivity software, cloud infrastructure, and gaming provide stability. The expanded OpenAI partnership securing $250 billion in additional Azure commitments reinforces long-term AI leadership. The Zacks analyst expect’s fiscal 2026 net sales to grow 15.1% from fiscal 2025.
However, capacity constraints through fiscal year-end limit immediate revenue capture despite strong demand. Management's guidance for flat operating margins and continued infrastructure investments indicate profitability headwinds.

Shares of Amazon.com have gained +2.6% over the year-to-date period against the Zacks Internet - Commerce industry’s gain of +10.1%. The company reported strong third-quarter results earnings of $1.95 per share beating estimates by 23% and revenue of $180.1 billion growing 13.4% year-over-year. AWS revenue rose 20.2% to $33 billion, though lagging competitors' cloud growth rates of 34-40%.
Amazon demonstrated pricing power through 24% advertising revenue growth and robust Prime engagement. AI initiatives like Trainium2 show promise and Q4 guidance projects 10-13% sales growth. The Zacks analyst expect’s 2025 net sales to grow 10.6% from 2024.
However, profitability concerns emerged as operating income remained flat at $17.4 billion, impacted by $4.3 billion in special charges. Free cash flow declined sharply to $14.8 billion from $47.7 billion due to aggressive $50.9 billion AI infrastructure investments. Elevated operating expenses and stiff cloud competition are headwinds.
(You can read the full research report on Amazon.com here >>>)
Eli Lilly’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Large Cap Pharmaceuticals industry over the year-to-date period (+33.4% vs. +16.8%). The company’s Q3 earnings and sales beat estimates. Demand for popular GLP-1 drugs, Mounjaro and Zepbound, remains strong, making them the company’s key top-line drivers.
Launches of these drugs in new international markets and improved supply from ramped-up production have led to strong year-to-date sales in 2025. Lilly’s other new drugs like Kisunla, Omvoh and Jaypirca are also contributing to its top-line growth.
Lilly is also making rapid pipeline progress in obesity and diabetes with oral GLP-1 obesity pill, orforglipron, expected to be launched next year. Declining sales of Trulicity, rising pricing pressure on some drugs and potential competition in the GLP-1 diabetes/obesity market are some top-line headwinds.

Top Research Reports for Microsoft, Amazon.com & Eli Lilly

Investors Get Cold Feet in a Hot Stock Market

McDonald's Corporation MCD reported third-quarter 2025 results that reflected ongoing macroeconomic pressures, with adjusted earnings per share declining year over year. Management attributed the earnings dip largely to a higher effective tax rate, even as operating income improved. Still, the quarter underscored the resilience of McDonald’s global business model, supported by consistent traffic growth, expanding loyalty participation and improved customer engagement.
Global comparable sales increased 3.6% in the period, driven by growth across all operating segments. Executives highlighted that McDonald's continues to take share in many of its largest markets by leaning into value positioning, digital ecosystem and menu relevance. In the United States, comparable sales rose 2.4%, with the brand noting positive guest count gaps compared with competitors, even in a challenging quick-service environment.
A key driver of customer retention this quarter was the continued integration of digital loyalty engagement. The United States now boasts approximately 45 million 90-day active users, supported by promotions like the reintroduced MONOPOLY program designed to drive app registrations and increase return visits.
On the value side, McDonald’s relaunched Extra Value Meals at sharper price points, aiming to strengthen perceived affordability across core menu offerings. Management noted early traction, particularly among lower-income diners who have faced ongoing economic pressures. However, the company emphasized that the benefits of this revamped value initiative will build progressively over the coming quarters as awareness increases.
Outside the United States, McDonald’s internationally operated markets continued to deliver strong performance. Germany saw its strongest comp sales results in two years and Australia gained market share for a second straight quarter, supported by well-executed value platforms and digital activations.
Meanwhile, McDonald’s ongoing menu innovation in chicken and beverages also remained a focal point. The company noted strong early results in the U.S. beverage test involving cold coffee and refresher beverages, which drove incremental visits and higher average checks without overwhelming kitchen operations.
McDonald's Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
MCD’s Guidance
Management maintained a cautious outlook for the consumer environment, particularly in the United States and key international markets. The company expects inflation to remain elevated into 2026, which will continue to pressure value-sensitive customer groups.
However, McDonald’s expects comp sales growth to accelerate in fourth-quarter 2025, supported by digital promotions, the relaunch of EVMs and marketing activations. The company also reaffirmed its development pipeline targets, including reaching 50,000 restaurants globally by 2027. (Read more: McDonald Q3 Earnings Miss, Revenues Beat Estimates, Stock Up)

Recent Retail-Wholesale Releases
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. CMG reported third-quarter 2025 results, with earnings beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate and revenues missing the same. Both top and bottom lines increased year over year.
Management flagged a notable shift from lower to middle-income diners, who account for approximately 40% of sales, citing inflation, weak wage growth and student loan repayments. Guidance for low to mid-single-digit comp declines in fourth-quarter 2025 and margin pressure in 2026, caused by rising beef costs and tariffs that will not be fully offset by pricing, fueled concerns about slowing growth despite menu innovation and expansion plans.
YUM! Brands, Inc. YUM reported third-quarter 2025 results, with earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The top and bottom lines increased on a year-over-year basis.
YUM announced the launch of a strategic review for the Pizza Hut brand aimed at maximizing long-term value for it, franchisees and partners. Also, it stated plans to complete the acquisition of 128 Taco Bell restaurants across the Southeast United States in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Starbucks Corporation SBUX reported mixed fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results, with earnings missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and net revenues beating the same. The top line increased year over year, but the bottom line declined.
In the fiscal fourth quarter, the company reported progress of its “Back to Starbucks” turnaround strategy, citing a return to global comparable sales growth and improving momentum. Looking ahead, Starbucks remains focused on driving revenue growth, exercising cost discipline and achieving sustainable profitability over the long term.

MCD Q3 Earnings Down Y/Y, Traffic and Loyalty Growth Remain Solid

Chipotle Mexican Grill CMG reported third-quarter 2025 results that reflected a softer consumer environment and slowing traffic trends. Comparable sales increased just 0.3%, as lower dining frequency among households earning below $100,000 and the 25-35 age cohort weighed on transactions.
Management highlighted that this group, which accounts for a sizeable share of Chipotle’s sales, is dining out less due to inflation, student loan repayments and weaker wage growth. While Chipotle is not losing these guests to competitors, they are visiting less frequently, pressuring comps.
To counter this, Chipotle is leaning heavily into menu innovation as a traffic catalyst. Recent limited-time releases, including Carne Asada supported by the new Red Chimichurri sauce, helped drive incremental trial and engagement. The earlier launch of Adobo Ranch demonstrated that new flavor extensions can attract younger consumers who show strong interest in novelty and customization. Management noted that guests who purchase limited-time offerings tend to increase their spending and visit frequency over the following year.
Looking ahead, Chipotle plans to accelerate its LTO cadence, expanding from two protein launches per year to three or four, while also introducing more dips and sauces to create year-round “new news.” These offerings are designed to deepen relevance without resorting to discount-driven value promotions.
Whether these innovation efforts can outweigh ongoing macro pressure remains unclear. But if flavor variety continues to resonate and broader sentiment stabilizes, menu innovation could play a meaningful role in reenergizing Chipotle’s traffic trajectory.
Competitive Landscape: Innovation and Value Positioning at Stake
Chipotle’s strategy to revive traffic through flavor-led menu innovation comes as key category peers refine their own playbooks. CAVA Group, Inc. CAVA continues to gain traction with seasonal bowls, rotating proteins and customizable dips that appeal to the same younger, variety-seeking consumer Chipotle targets. While its digital ordering and loyalty engagement mirror Chipotle’s model, CAVA’s emphasis on freshness and bold Mediterranean flavors provides a differentiated alternative. As CAVA accelerates unit growth, its expanding footprint could increasingly compete for occasions that were once defaulted to CMG.
On the value side, Taco Bell under Yum! Brands, Inc. YUM remain a strong competitor, particularly for price-sensitive diners. While Taco Bell operates in a different menu lane, its consistent promotional cadence, bundled deals and lower price points offer a compelling draw for the same under-$100K income cohort that Chipotle has seen visit less frequently. As consumer budgets tighten, Taco Bell’s value messaging could capture incremental share if Chipotle’s innovation push does not quickly translate into renewed traffic.
CMG’s Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates
Chipotle’s shares have lost 38.1% in the past six months compared with the industry’s decline of 10.7%.
Price Performance

From a valuation standpoint, CMG trades at a forward price-to-sales ratio of 3.29X, down from the industry’s average.

At the Hong Kong Monetary Authority financial summit on Tuesday, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs both said that equity markets could be due for a pullback of more than 10% in the next 12 to 24 months, citing caution over stock prices after the S&P 500 surged more than +35% from April lows to a record high last week.
Lower bond yields on Tuesday were supportive of stocks, with the 10-year T-note yield falling -2 bp to 4.09%.
US Oct Wards total vehicle sales slowed to 15.32 million, weaker than expectations of 15.50 million and the fewest in 14 months.
The markets are discounting a 69% chance of another -25 bp rate cut at the next FOMC meeting on December 9-10.
The markets are looking ahead to oral arguments at the Supreme Court on Wednesday about whether President Trump's reciprocal tariffs are legal. Oral arguments may provide hints about how the Supreme Court might rule. The Supreme Court is expected to issue its ruling by late this year or early in 2026. Lower courts have already ruled that Mr. Trump's reciprocal tariffs are illegal, finding they are based on a specious claim of emergency authority under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. If the US Supreme Court upholds those rulings and strikes down the tariffs, then the US government may have to refund the reciprocal and fentanyl-linked tariffs already collected, totaling more than $80 billion, and Mr. Trump's power to impose tariffs may be limited to well-founded sections of US trade law, such as sections 232, 301, and 201.
Q3 corporate earnings season continues at a strong clip this week, with 136 of the S&P 500 companies reporting earnings this week. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, 80% of the S&P 500 companies that have reported so far have beaten forecasts, on course for the best quarter since 2021. However, Q3 profits are expected to have risen by +7.2% y/y, the smallest increase in two years. Also, Q3 sales growth is projected to slow to +5.9% y/y from +6.4% in Q2.
The US government shutdown, now in its sixth week, is the longest in history, weighing on market sentiment and the US economy. The government shutdown is delaying a host of government reports and is having an adverse effect on the US economy.
Overseas stock markets settled lower on Tuesday. The Euro Stoxx 50 fell to a 2-week low and closed down -0.34%. China's Shanghai Composite closed down -0.41%. Japan's Nikkei Stock 225 dropped from a record high and closed down -1.74%.
Interest Rates
December 10-year T-notes (ZNZ5) on Tuesday closed up by +3.5 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield fell -2.5 bp to 4.085%. T-note prices moved higher on Tuesday, supported by the slump in stocks, which boosted safe-haven demand for government debt.
T-note prices have underlying support from the ongoing US government shutdown, which is now the longest in history and could lead to additional job losses, reduced consumer spending, and a weakened US economy, potentially allowing the Fed to continue cutting interest rates.
European government bond yields moved lower on Tuesday. The 10-year German bund yield fell -1.3 bp to 2.654%. The 10-year UK gilt yield fell -1.0 bp to 4.425%.
ECB Governing Council member Rehn said, "Growth in the Eurozone remains sluggish but resilient, while inflation risks are two-sided-upward from goods and food prices, and possible supply disruptions; downward from cheaper energy, a stronger euro, and easing wage pressures." He added that, "In this environment, it's crucial to maintain full flexibility in decision-making and not commit to any specific interest rate path."
ECB Governing Council member Stournaras said the Eurozone's growth prospects "are subject to multiple downside risks," including uncertainty over trade policy and prolonged geopolitical tensions internationally, as well as "political uncertainty in France."
Swaps are discounting a 6% chance for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at its next policy meeting on December 18.
