BUY

The street doesn't give this respect, as shares have been stuck in the low-$20s for 14 months. Today they reported a top and bottom line beat, including 16% same-store sales growth, and raised its full-year forecast a lot and hiked its dividend by 20%. And yet, shares rallied only 4%, still below pre-Covid. It's still cheap.

COMMENT

He fears that most fast food companies can't hold their gains because of inflation. Be careful with this as much as he likes Wendy's. They report Wednesday.

BUY

options Wendy's is seeing huge calls, from 20,000 last month to 40,000 today at just one strike on Nov. 20. The stock and calls are moving higher. He bought calls. He bought and will upside calls against them as it rallies.

BUY

Had a great quarter last month: 7% increase in US comps, 14% internationally, have pricing power, and costs are coming down.

HOLD

Company is performing as usual. Would not be too worried. Good time to hold.

DON'T BUY

Their 7% yield says something is wrong. No. Prefers MCD.

DON'T BUY

The 7% dividend is a red flag, can't trust it.

DON'T BUY

They cut their dividend (many bought this for the div.), they carry a $2.8 billion in debt and only a $2.2 billion market cap. Their CEO just left.

DON'T BUY

They cut the dividend, and burgers are a tough industry.
