Is Recent Restaurant IPO Portillo's Worth Watching in 2022?
Portillo's Restaurant Group (NASDAQ: PTLO), a restaurant sector newcomer after its Oct. 21 initial public offering (IPO), has registered some dramatic ups and downs since its trading debut. The company, whose menu centers on Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, char-grilled burgers, and fresh salads saw its stock price jump close to 6% right before Christmas, and about 20% during Christmas week.
The stock market is currently optimistic about the eatery chain, although it's facing inflation concerns like the rest of the sector, as well as labor shortages, supply chain issues, and lingering COVID-19 disruptions. Many indicators look bullish, but you might want to pick your entry point carefully. Here are three important factors to consider.
