Shake Shack Inc. reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended July 1, 2026. Total revenue increased 17.2% year-over-year to $417.6 million, driven by a 17.5% rise in Shack sales to $403.4 million and 7.1% growth in licensing revenue to $14.2 million. System-wide sales grew 13.8% to $625.8 million, while same-Shack sales increased 3.5%, supported by a 2.0% positive traffic trend. The company opened 16 new Company-operated locations and 11 licensed Shacks during the quarter. Operating income decreased slightly to $20.7 million from $22.4 million in the prior year period, primarily due to elevated beef costs that compressed restaurant-level profit margins by 90 basis points to 23.0%.
