Portillo’s, a popular fast-casual restaurant chain known for its Chicago-style hot dogs and Italian beef, has seen its stock dip nearly 40% from its 52-week high. Despite the decline, insiders appear bullish on the company’s future, with recent insider buying activity suggesting confidence in a rebound. Executives, including the CEO, have purchased shares on the open market, signaling that they see the current share price as an attractive entry point for long-term growth.
The company, which went public in late 2021, continues to expand its national footprint and remains focused on growing same-store sales and improving operational efficiencies.

For investors seeking value opportunities, this might be a dip worth considering.
