1103 ET - Shake Shack announced its 2026 fiscal guidance before war broke out in the Middle East, but CEO Rob Lynch remains confident in his expectation despite the growing global economic shocks. "There is nothing but volatility right now in everything," Lynch says at an investor conference. Lynch says rising gas prices could hurt fast-food rivals more because their business skews to drive-through customers, whereas about 10% of Shake Shack stores have drive-throughs.
