Tue, 23 Sep 2025 12:04:18 -0500

Investing.com --Argus downgraded Wendy’s to Hold from Buy, citing soft U.S. sales and traffic that are weighing on results despite gains overseas.

The fast-food chain reported second-quarter revenue down 2% from a year earlier, with global sales slipping 1.8%. U.S. sales fell 3% and same-store sales dropped 3.6%, offset only partly by a 9% increase in international sales.

Argus said international momentum is not enough to make up for the U.S. declines.

Management lowered its 2025 guidance for the second quarter in a row. It now expects adjusted EPS of 82 to 89 cents, down from its prior range of

Restaurant promotions to intensify as consumer spending weakens

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 14:31:11 -0500

Investing.com -- A tougher promotional battle is expected among U.S. restaurant chains in the second half of 2025 as consumer spending shows signs of strain. Stifel analysts say larger brands like McDonald’s, Domino’s and Taco Bell better positioned to withstand the pressure.

“Restaurants continue to report weak consumer spending, although full-service restaurants are outperforming most other categories. Consequently, we anticipate a more competitive promotional environment in 2H25, which should favor the largest chains,” Stifel analyst said.

Data showed restaurant spending grew strongly in the second quarter, led by an 8.5% jump at full-service restaurants. Limited-service outlets, by contrast, grew 3.4%, ranking near the

JPMorgan upgrades Wendy’s to Overweight amid a ’fresh look at the equity story’

Mon, 05 May 2025 09:33:07 -0500

Investing.com -- JPMorgan lifted its rating on The Wendy’s (NASDAQ:WEN) Company to Overweight from Neutral, driven by a more constructive long-term view on the fast-food chain’s cash flow profile, capital allocation, and growth potential.

The Wall Street giant also established a new December 2026 price target of $15, lowered from the prior $17 target.

“We are taking a fresh look at the equity story supported by mid-to-high single-digit free cash flow (FCF) yields as store economics stabilize and start to improve,” JPMorgan analysts led by Rahul Krotthapalli said in a note.

The upgrade follows a significant de-risking of near-term comparable sales expectations and
