Rhea AI CAKE FY2025 2026-05-04

Cash generation is improving faster than revenue, revealing a more efficient, cash-converting phase despite tight working capital.

In the latest year, revenue rose only 4.7% while operating margin stayed near 5.0%. Even so, free cash flow climbed from $108M to $155M, showing better cash conversion and lighter reinvestment drag rather than another big margin step-up.

A current ratio below 1.0x across the last 3 years means the company operates with structurally thin short-term liquidity rather than a large balance-sheet buffer. That posture is manageable only because operating cash flow stayed positive every year and reached $301M in FY2025, so the business appears to fund obligations from turnover and working-capital timing more than from idle cash.

ROE of 33.9% looks much stronger than ROA of 4.5%, which tells you the return profile is being magnified by a thin equity layer, not just by stronger operations. The $154M spent on buybacks in FY2025 also limited equity growth, so ROE is being lifted by capital structure as well as earnings.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Cheesecake Factory Inc's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Cheesecake Factory Inc has an operating margin of 5.0%, meaning the company retains $5 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 32/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 5.0% the prior year.

Growth

Cheesecake Factory Inc's revenue grew a modest 4.7% year-over-year to $3.8B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 44/100.

Leverage

Cheesecake Factory Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 1.29, meaning only $1.29 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 76/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Cheesecake Factory Inc's current ratio of 0.59 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 6/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow

Cheesecake Factory Inc has a free cash flow margin of 4.1%, earning a moderate score of 33/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Returns

Cheesecake Factory Inc earns a strong 33.9% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $34 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 79/100. This is down from 35.4% the prior year.
