Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 3 opinions in the last 12 months.

Wingstop Inc. has recently garnered mixed reviews from experts. One reviewer expressed disappointment in the company's recent quarter, noting a lack of communication during a previous interview. However, another expert highlighted Wingstop's impressive strategy in maintaining menu prices amid rising inflation, which has contributed to a significant stock increase of 65% this year. Despite these positive developments, another expert pointed out that shares have been impacted by a general downturn in the fast food sector, particularly following McDonald's introduction of lower-priced menu items. This discrepancy in expert opinions suggests a complex situation for Wingstop, where some see strong potential, while others remain cautious due to broader market influences.

They reported a disappointing quarter. He used to like them, but they couldn't answer his questions when he last interviewed them.

BUY

In a time of high inflation (easing now), Wingstop kept their menu prices the same while retailers around them raised theirs. This is why Wingstop has enjoyed double-digit gains in its stock, up 65% this year.

BUY

Shares have been down along with the fast food sector ever since McDonald's cut its prices and offered its Value Package on its menu. He thinks the street is wrong. This is a buy.

BUY

Peaked in May and fell back to a degree until it reported last month when it reported better than expected same-store sales and overall higher sales (not due to higher prices, but more customers). They raised their full-year forecast. Still off its May highs, pick up some shares now.

BUY

There are fears of fast food stocks suffering a death cross, heading down, but try getting a franchise from WING. Huge demand for their food.

BUY
Late last year, they were the canary in the coalmine for inflation. WING had a few tough quarters as wing costs rose, pushing down shares from $187 in September 2021 to $67 last May. This spring, though, chicken wing costs have plunged. WING had a blow-out quarter in October, soaring over 130% from the May low. There's room to run.

WATCH
Unlike most food costs, the cost of chicken wings has actually declined.

WATCH
It thrived during Covid but shares have plunged 60% from September highs. People think it's a textbook Covid winner, but they built a fine oneline delivery business. The CEO left a few months ago and it has been plagued by inflation. However, chicken wings prices have been *declining* for a while while all else has gone up. If this decline continues there could be an upside surprise.
food services
COMMENT
Reported weak numbers today with a top and bottom line mess, and weak guidance. Shares plunged 10%, and this has slipped since late-September over fears of costly chicken wings and higher wages. But they have a strong long-term track record and faced tough comps. Past reported misses were buying opportunities. Maybe this time too.
