Valuation multiples for many growth stocks have not yet reverted to their early 2021 highs, but the market was optimistic at the end of 2023 due to cooling inflation. The start of 2024 has been a different story as mixed signals have led to market volatility, and while some of the restaurants stocks have fared somewhat better, they have not been spared, with share price declining 4.9% over the last month.
