Bulls say

Wendy's Company, the second-largest burger quick-service restaurant chain in the U.S. with 2024 systemwide sales of $12.6 billion, has seen its system sales growth rates for 2025-2027 increased due to enhanced international net restaurant growth. The firm's margins are anticipated to improve as a result of a greater mix of higher-margin chicken and beverage sales, while ongoing share repurchase plans signal confidence in the company's future. Additionally, Wendy's bold expansion strategy, aiming for 1,000 new global restaurant openings by FY28, combined with a commitment to enhance customer experience and service speed, further supports a positive long-term outlook.

Bears say

The Wendy's Company faces several significant risks that contribute to a negative outlook on its stock, including potential deterioration in macroeconomic conditions and an intensifying competitive environment. Projections indicate that the company’s average same-store sales growth and net restaurant growth are both expected to fall short of its own guidance, further emphasizing challenges in achieving margin targets and long-term sales expectations. Additionally, uncertainties surrounding the international expansion efforts and the recent turnover of key executives may adversely affect performance and financial results.
