Goldman Sachs resumed coverage on Wendy's (NASDAQ: WEN) with a Neutral rating and a price target of $10.50. Analyst Karen Holthouse thinks valuation is stretched.

However, we view valuation as stretched, with an 18% gap between the multiple-based portion of our target price ($11.25) and the DCF-based portion ($9.50) – the widest in our coverage universe," said Holthouse.
