PTLO $300k yolo. Bullish on hotdogs 🚀🚀🚀🚀🌭🌭🌭🌭
This is nowhere near as bad as some of you more experienced apes, but it's still rough for me. As a Chicagoan who has rarely invested in any stocks, I've put the very little savings I had into $PTLO over the last several weeks.
Portillo's IPO'd at $20 on 10/21, now is >$50. As a Chicagoan, my only DD is growing up eating their hotdogs and chocolate cake shakes. I'm bullish on the beef -- YOLO the PTLO.

In late 2021 I bought a few thousand dollars worth of PTLO and UPST. Still hurts. I haven't sold though. What do you guys think?
PTLO lmfao But i guess RDDT :)
PTLO, I bought 1 share for fun despite knowing it was overvalued, because I wanted to be able to say I owned part of it. I think that share is down 80%. But it's like a $30 loss so its irrelevant.
2030 and beyond RDDT GOOG NVDA AMZN WMT PTLO :’)
bought PTLO and WEN at 52w lows, feeling like a fast food genius rn
I will when PTLO reco-**HOLY SHIT up 10% today** Everything's comin up Milhouse.
PTLO is 🆙 buy the 🌭 stock!
PTLO is also a great long term play!
I prefer $PTLO in this space but godspeed soldier
"and if you listen to the headlines, you’d think this company is about five minutes away from bankruptcy. " In 2014, a handful of restaurants went public because people wanted the next Chipotle. I don't think any of those is above where they went public, some were taken private at below IPO price (including Zoe's Kitchen, which eventually became part of CAVA.) I remember in 2015 when SHAK went public and people were hyped up for it. 10 years later you could have done much better and with less stress by owning the SPY or even WMT. SHAK is up about 80% since IPO and has had three 60%+ drawdowns and a few 40%+ drawdowns. In 2021, PTLO went public and while it was more of a regional thing it was beloved enough that people thought the concept would travel well and spread to other areas. It went up some initially...and then has proceeded to lose 90% in pretty much a straight line. Needless to say, it didn't travel well. BROS has ultimately gained against a weakened SBUX, but how any people sat through the 70% drawdown from the 2021 high? Nobody's saying SG is going bankrupt, it's just the experience of owning a premium restaurant concept that does well when the economy is doing well and is something you want to not be anywhere near when it's not. SG's history as a public company: -90% drawdown off the 2021 IPO, +560% off the 2023 low, then now down 83% again. While not apples-to-apples, for all the hype over SHAK you've had 10 years of volatility and not much to show for it. What's keeping the next 10 years of this being "the best of times, the worst of times?" like it has been as public company - huge volatility and great if you can catch the bottoms but not something that's ultimately a good long-term holding? The K-shaped economy situation you mention is important and while *perhaps* temporary I wouldn't handwaive it away - how long does that go on, how much further does it spread? CMG is down 40% this year, CAVA down 62% from its bubble high earlier in the year. It's not just a SG issue. "There is a massive "Trade Up" happening where people are leaving generic fast food for "clean eating." Sweetgreen is perfectly positioned to capture the demographic that views lunch as a health investment, not just calories. " I think this is a smaller audience than your thesis needs it to be. "The biggest bear case right now is that Sweetgreen is just overpriced "slop" that consumers are abandoning. " I don't know that it's overpriced slop but there is a price point for anything where enough people are going to start to seek alternatives/trade down/etc. There is absolutely a price ceiling for salad bowls, burritos, whatever where you will start seeing people say no, or cut back. If you like restaurant automation, you may want to take a look at Circus SE in Germany (I'm not long but something you may find of interest.) I don't see SG as a zero and I don't really think I've seen a lot of people online who do - I just think the reality for this stock is that it's going to be something that does well when times are great and it's not something you are going to want to own when times are less than great unless it's down massively and you think you can pick the turn in the economy.
Ahh PTLO, bought at IPO. Will continue to hold for years to come :)
I will tell you my dogs i am not selling: PTLO, OKE and LYB.
I have PTLO since 21, I’ll let you know one day lol…
Good play! Up 10% today. Are you wishing you bought more? SG is talked about a lot in the value investing sub along with other restaurant recession stocks. CMG, PTLO, JACK etc… All down massively right now
It wouldn't be a reason to invest imo. Not a fan of investing in restaurants and nothing against China, but the China growth story for brands like Starbucks hasn't worked out - Starbucks sold a stake in Starbucks China recently after being viewed not that many years ago as a key part of what growth story it had. There have absolutely been successful restaurant investments, but it's the kind of thing where tastes can change, problems can set in (see CMG recently down 50% YTD) and you're reliant on a consumer that in a lot of cases continues to struggle/is starting to walk away from $12 burritos. I look at something like SHAK and recall how hyped it was when it IPO'd and you would have done much better (and had less volatility - SHAK has had at least a few 60%+ drawdowns since going public and a few ~40% ones) just owning the SPY. You could have done better in WMT than SHAK since SHAK's IPO and had a less stressful experience holding the stock. PTLO IPO'd a few years ago to much fanfare because of how well liked it is, but the concept didn't expand as people thought it would and the stock is now down about 90% from the post IPO high and is trading at less than book. Diversified RBI has done better than most in the industry in the last couple of years, but still not great returns and the stock is about where it was in 2017. It's not a bad company as restaurants go, just not something I think is appealing as a long-term holding. I don't think this news is going to materially help the stock short-term.
I don’t wanna blow up my small cap play, but who else is looking at $PTLO as the short of the century right now?
How is PTLO making you rich?
I like PTLO bc I love big fat hot dogs in my face
PTLO contains two of the letters in power hour. Hell, one of them twice! That's gotta be good
Whats that? I cant hear you in my hot dog shaped Ferrari (PTLO)
PTLO got that power hour STANK skillz
get in regards we're mooning PTLO. It's small, we can do it!
PTLO wayyy undervalued. Earnings were bad but not that bad. Also, live cattle prices are cratering which is great for them. Lot of analyst price targets coming in in at least the $6 range.
Okay I admit my PTLO stock has been dreadful. Earnings yesterday were bad, but imo not as bad as feared. I think today and tomorrow we may see some analyst upgrades and perhaps a couple insider buys
All in on Portillos. PTLO long term hold till 2026/27
PTLO picking up volume
PTLO, UPST, TREX, PRCT, CAVA, TOST, and AXON reporting from my owned/watchlisted companies. The only season I like more than earnings season is winter.
jk I dont really have dennys. I do have PTLO which reports in the morning. It'll probably bomb bc I have it
> Wendys was down as big as it was this year. PTLO has done so badly since the IPO a while back that it's now trading under book value.
YOLO. PTLO is culture. Lines wrapped around the building in the evening. 80s and 90s culture fill the inside. Large funds are currently short selling this piece or America.
RDDT bitch Maybe PTLO (dca hehe)
What can I say I'm a glizzy guy (PTLO)
I hope my PTLO will follow suit. I've held it for several years now. Though I'm down about $11 per share, I believe it will rebound.
Its RDDT baby And PTLO at this point lmao
There haven’t been a lot of days when it’s been better to be in PTLO than PLTR but this is one of them
Imagine not owning PTLO here
You’re telling me you don’t own any hot dog stock. PTLO
PTLO fired the CEO, new ceo incoming. Hop on the rocket ship
Lmao on PTLO going higher on firing the CEO
This PTLO has been a horrible investment for me. But, CEO out tonight! My bags could be your moment to get rich if it finally turns around
##Top value pick stocks, first two are only $6, that's like half a handy at your dumpster: ##1. $Htz (Hertz) - Ackman has fucked me before, but $2B seems low here, if they put in some AI kiosks instead of having to deal with low iq front desk clerk and homie getting his ID out of his pocket for 15minutes, they'll be golden. ##2. $PTLO (Portillos) - poors need cheap food, and this is poors food that is delicious, all time lows, I'm in for the strategic turnaround. Also working at wendys gets tiring, I need a new crowd. ##3. $Chym (Chime) - talk about IPO gone bust, this is what happens to your precious IPO after everybody sold, the IPO lockup isnt even here yet (Nov) and this thing is less than most VC's bought in for ($30). Poors need banks and loans in the near future. Thank you for coming to my value stock talk. Hope some of these plays tickle your balls and you share me in bagholding for the next decade.
PTLO they're going national
RH is so regarded. I'm trying to write 30x $8 September covered calls on PTLO for $0.20 and of course my order is the only ask.
Fly PTLO fly. Save me from being assigned your shitty hotdog shares at $7
Portillos $PTLO -- they sell hot dogs and no other restaurant is capable of doing this so there is zero competition
Hot dogs are going up in value buy $PTLO now
He meant to do 100K on PTLO hot dog restaurants
Screw CAVA. PTLO is the way to go! Hot Dogs and BEEF
Just a little PSA that no matter what your portfolio says, your mental health can get better. Three years ago I was closing in on $40K and making a few hundred a month between dividends and selling options wheels. But I was a wreck socially and didn’t think I deserved a real relationship, so I didn’t look for one. It wasn’t fun. It was dehumanizing and I felt like I was losing a little bit of myself every month. Now I’m married with a house and my first kid on the way. Portfolio is down to $1400 (dipped into the $40K for the house and wedding) so I’m just wheeling OPEN and that stupid hotdog stock PTLO to collect some monthly premium, but I couldn’t be happier with how my life is going. There’s more to all this than money, folks. Keep your heads on a swivel
Portillos PTLO, Chicago regional restaurant chain attempting to go national.
Ah, the diversified dumpster fire: AAPL leading the pack like the golden child it is, fresh off that $100B US investment buzz (per CNBC and Yahoo Finance reports – stock's up ~6% in after-hours, eyeing all-time highs if the White House pomp holds). GOOG's hanging tough amid AI hype but watch antitrust FUD; UNH is steady healthcare boringness, up marginally despite market pukes from weak jobs data. PTLO? Portillo's hot dogs might moon if obesity trends reverse, but it's volatile fast-food play – down lately on consumer squeeze. EMN's chemical grind, resilient but tariff-sensitive with Trump's noise tanking industrials. VKTX, the biotech lottery ticket, spiking on weight-loss drug hopes but pure gamble if trials flop. Solid mix of blue-chips and wildcards, ape – you're not full YOLO, but that VKTX screams "tendies or tears." Diamond hand AAPL through dips; dump the dogs if they bark wrong. What's your entry prices? Let's roast or rocket 'em. Sources: - https://www.investopedia.
PTLO idc fuck it in 10-20 years my hotdogs will be gold
Added BLMN and PTLO shares Bought CVNA 11/19 Put $185 Strike
yes but what about the price of tea in china, honestly my brain is just waking up. I just was wondering if people thought PTLO was a good buy at this price to just hold a little bit. Also, if anyone had eaten there to attest to it being worthwhile.
I really don't get why no one is going all in on Portillo's (PTLO). This stock is going to be the next Chipotle and no one can see it.
Fuck the PTLO DD guy, im never trusting some retard again
Whoever said to buy PTLO calls can suck my cock
Portillo's (PTLO) nearly halved their FY guidance (11% at the midpoint to 6%) and had same store sales increase of just 0.7%. That's pretty bad for a restaurant chain that's allegedly in growth and expansion mode.
PTLO earnings: For the second quarter of 2025, Portillo’s reported total revenue of $188.5 million, marking a 3.6% increase from the same period in 2024. The company’s net income rose to $10.0 million, a 17.7% increase from the previous year. However, operating income saw a slight decrease of 3.2%, amounting to $17.5 million. The company’s Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA was relatively flat, decreasing by 0.2% to $44.5 million, while Adjusted EBITDA increased by 0.7% to $30.1 million.
Don't really know what's going on, none of this makes sense to me. Bought 28 contracts, PTLO 8/15 10C @ 0.40, let's see where this shit goes.
Ok hotdog guy might be onto something with PTLO Could also get branded with a flair saying how much he’s into tube meat
I’m gonna say this one more time. Earnings this week. PTLO
PTLO wtf do you all hate chocolate cake and juicy meats? stop pump and dumping good companies please
The real shit is PTLO and you can actually hold it bc it’s not retardmaxxing
True PTLO's been under the radar. Fundamentals are solid too might be time to add it to the watchlist.
$PTLO for sympathy to $DNUT. both have high sht interest. $SOUN to play off these short squeezes with shit stocks.
likely regarded, but I added $PTLO for sympathy off $DNUT... Food chain with high short interest. $DNUT looks like all bots, but maybe CNBC will pick it up and say "WSB'rs are pumping $DNUT!?!?!?"
Hilarious when you own more shares of a stock than normally trade in a 1 min candle. That’s me with PTLO
