I think the stock's latest blip presents investors with a good opportunity to add this business to their portfolios. Dutch Bros has what it takes to be a winning investment in the coming five years.
The company's growth trajectory remains intact. It plans to open 185 net new coffee shops in 2026. And by 2029, the goal is for there to be 2,029 Dutch Bros locations, up from 1,225 today.
It's also worth highlighting how each shop is performing. Even in a highly uncertain macro backdrop, systemwide same-store sales rose 5.8% last quarter, continuing a 19-year streak of positive growth last year.
The consensus view among sell-side analysts is that Dutch Bros' revenue will surge at a compound annual rate of 27% between 2025 and 2028. Adjusted diluted EPS is projected to rise at a 28% annualized clip during that time.
With the stock trading at a reasonable price-to-sales multiple of 3.8, this forecast could propel the share price.
