Jack in the Box Inc. has provided its financial outlook for the fiscal year ending September 27, 2026. The company expects to operate between 2,050 and 2,100 restaurants, which includes approximately 20 new openings and 50 to 100 closures, primarily among franchise locations. Same-store sales for fiscal year 2026 are projected to range between a decrease of 1% and an increase of 1% compared to fiscal year 2025, with continued pressure anticipated in the first quarter followed by sequential improvement throughout the year. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Jack in the Box reported a 7.4% decline in same-store sales and a 6.6% drop in total revenues to $326.2 million, reflecting a decrease in transactions and an unfavorable menu mix, partially offset by menu price increases. The company's restaurant-level margin also declined to 16.1% from 18.5% in the prior year quarter.
