Wendy's (WEN) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Wendy's (WEN) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Wendy's Company is projected to achieve system sales growth rates of 2%, 4.6%, and 4.8% for 2025 to 2027, driven by an increase in international restaurant growth. The firm anticipates margin enhancements due to a favorable mix of higher-margin products, including chicken and innovative beverages, while maintaining a global restaurant-level margin of 15.8% for 2025, with further expansions forecasted in the following years. Additionally, Wendy's aims to open 1,000 net new global restaurant locations by FY28, supporting overall brand growth and improved customer experience through their strategic initiatives.
Bears say
Wendy's faces several challenges that contribute to a negative outlook on its stock, including potential deterioration in macroeconomic conditions and an intensifying competitive landscape, which could negatively impact sales and operational stability. The company's shift away from value offerings may result in reduced customer traffic, while their international expansion efforts appear to be weakening, leading to lower than expected same-store sales growth and overall system sales forecasts. Additionally, execution issues and the loss of key executives could further adversely affect Wendy's financial performance and hinder its ability to meet margin targets.
