Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. (CBRL)

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store's business is stabilized after pandemic, but its business growth is not on a good spot. At the current level of dividend payout, we believe that CBRL is not able to increase its dividend unless revenue growth is improved.



Again, concentration investing involves higher risk of significant loss without the protection of diversity.


Each individual investor should always consider their own investment goal, risk tolerance, investing span and objectives for their investment positions. Investing in securities involved the risk of total losses. Investors should always consult with financial professionals.

It is hard to operate a business, but it is ideal to own a company and to have operating cash flow in hand for business investment. 

Surely, owning 100% of Axos Financial or/and Cracker Barrel Old Country Store would have provided the ability and opportunity of utilizing the operating cash flow generated by revenue for further business expansion and other investments.

Sadly, individual investors don't have such privileges. Again, the best way for individual investors to have cash for further investment is dividend paid out from shares owned or capital from selling current investment; otherwise, debt is one more way to have cash (or other investors willingly put their money in your hands to manage). 

It just the way it is and beware the tax consequence for trades.
