Security and safety: PZA, a trusted brand, adapting quickly

As per TD's Derek Lessard today: "PZA should gain share and outperform its peers in this difficult environment. In the long term, we expect PZA to also benefit in a post-"social distancing" world, where consumers could remain wary of frequenting casual dining establishments. Despite all this, PZA shares remain one of the cheapest QSRs stocks in North America and we can think of no good reason why they should not be trading at their pre-pandemic level of $10."

TD Securities has a BUY rating on PZA with a $10.50 price target citing a strong and growing delivery focus and strong value proposition due to its large scale as two main competitive advantages leading them to believe that there are "few better-placed QSRs in Canada that could outperform in this environment".

PZA is only benefitting from a pandemic situation where indoor dining is limited and feared. They still lag imo and the shares reflect that considering that the bulk of their sales are based on take out. Just look at their direct peer Dominos, they are knocking it out of the park. Sad as it may be, but PZA stock holders need to hope for a prolonged covid crises for the stock to hold up.

"In 2019, NPC saw its debt slide further and further into junk territory after credit downgrades from S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s. Both ratings agencies downgraded the franchisee
