The YouTuber states that Cheesecake Factory is still a 'buy' but not as attractive as it once was due to its significant year-to-date run. While his base case projects 14-20% CAGR over the next few years, the current dividend yield is lower, making the risk-reward less compelling than when he initially bought it.
“Cheesecake's not as much of an opportunity because the stock has just been running and gunning. 39% plus year-to- date gain on on Cheesecake. We're not even halfway through the year, right? I mean just running. But it's created a situation where cake is still a buy, but it's not as good of a buy as it was.”
