The company confirmed it will report third-quarter 2026 results on 5 November and announced Lauren Crowley as Chief People Officer, effective 26 October, reporting to CEO Jonathan Neman. Separately, the prior quarter's results remain in view, with Q2 FY26 revenue of $192.7 million, comparable sales down 6.2%, restaurant-level profit margin of 13.1%, and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.2 million across 287 restaurants, a period that also saw a cyclospora outbreak and a jalapeño recall cited as headwinds. An amended 13G filing also disclosed a shared 5.4% passive stake in the company's Class A shares.

The next earnings date falls on 5 November, within the next 20 trading days, after a last reaction of -11.5% and an average absolute reaction of 9.2% across prior reports. No insider, Congress, or unusual options activity appears in the recent windows.
