Investor Insights

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

Wingstop Inc. has recently faced a mixed bag of reviews from experts. On one hand, the company reported a disappointing quarter, raising concerns about its current performance. However, it has managed to maintain its menu prices despite rising inflation, which has helped the company achieve a significant stock appreciation of 65% year-to-date. Nevertheless, the shares have seen a downturn along with the broader fast food sector, largely driven by competitors like McDonald's lowering their prices and introducing value packages. Despite this, one expert believes that the market sentiment is misplaced and advocates for buying the stock, suggesting potential for recovery and growth.

Domino's Pizza, Inc., DPZ-N

DON'T BUY

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.

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.
