Consumers have been met with rising dining costs in and out of the home. However, a lender of America note reports that the gap in the cost of food at home versus food away from home is now at an all-time high. lender of America Securities Senior Food and Beverage Analyst Peter Galbo joins sector Domination to discuss the findings.
While Galbo notes that the cost of food away from home is typically always rising, the numbers tell a dramatic story: the analyst highlights that it is $10 more expensive to eat away from home in a quick service setting and $25 more in a sit-down environment per person. Respectively, that amounts to four and 6.5 times the cost of eating at home.
With price sensitivity a concern for many in the consumer sector, Galbo underscores that upper-revenue consumers are currently driving more away-from-home spending.
As prices rise, Galbo notes that it is interesting to see promotional activity come out of restaurants as a response. Food companies like General Mills (GIS) and Hormel (HRL) are also starting to see a need to pick up promotional activity, the analyst says.
