KeyBanc initiates coverage on Chuy's Holdings (NASDAQ: CHUY) with a Hold.

Analyst, Christopher O'Cull, said, "Chuy's is the fastest-growing, publicly-traded restaurant company with 22%+ revenue growth anticipated for the next five years, fueled by best-in-class new unit returns (30-35% cash-on-cash, including pre-opening expense, and 23% fully-capitalized). Since its IPO in July, shares have appreciated 35% and are currently valued at 34x NTM EPS and 13x NTM EBITDA. We believe fair value is in the $18-$20 range, and under the KBCM rating system the expected return merits a HOLD rating. We would consider becoming more constructive on a pullback unrelated to a slowdown in unit growth or new store sales performance; ideally, investors over-reacting to a SRS disappointment would create a nice entry-point."
