Guggenheim upgrades Wingstop on growth potential, shares up

Investing.com

25 Feb

Investing.com -- Guggenheim upgraded Wingstop Inc (NASDAQ:WING) to "Buy" from "Neutral" and set a price target of $280 on strong unit growth potential despite near-term same-store sales (SSS) softness. Shares of Wingstop were up around 1.4% at $237

The brokerage expects management to provide more disclosure on international expansion, reinforcing confidence in a long-term store count exceeding 12000 units.

While SSS growth has slowed from over 20% six months ago to low single digits, Guggenheim forecasts a bottom in the second quarter of 2025, with reacceleration in the second half of the year.

Wingstop's new technology platform, designed to improve speed of service, and its competitive menu pricing could support future growth.

Despite recent downward revisions to 2026 EBITDA and EPS estimates, Guggenheim sees the stock’s valuation as attractive, with upside potential as unit growth continues.
