Below is a point-in-time research snapshot for The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated (NASDAQ: CAKE), dated 2026-11-11. The figures cluster around a stock price of roughly **$108–$111**, with a market capitalization near **$5.5–5.7 billion** [[7]](https://www.marketbeat.com/instant-alerts/analyst-cheesecake-factory-nasdaq-cake-stock-price-target-raised-at-robert-w-baird-2026-10-22/)[[12]](https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/cake/forecast/)[[13]](https://wallstsmart.com/stock/CAKE)[[14]](https://www.chartmill.com/stock/quote/CAKE/analyst-ratings)[[16]](https://tickernerd.com/stock/cake-forecast/).
