Cracker Barrel’s stock soars as it switches the logo back

Don’t panic, everyone: the man, the barrel, and the bit of text at the bottom will all be returned to their usual place on the Cracker Barrel logo. Shares are trading 7% higher early on Wednesday on the news.

Just one week (and a pretty huge social media storm) since it first announced the stripped-back rebrand, the Southern-themed restaurant chain announced the switch and thanked their guests for sharing their “voices and love” on the proposed redesign.

President Trump — who had, along with his son Donald Trump Jr., been among those bashing the new, text-only logo online — took the time to praise the decision on Truth Social:

The redesign had come as part of a broader plan to revamp its restaurants and revitalize sales growth at the 56-year-old chain.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
