Wingstop (WING) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Wingstop (WING) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Wingstop is experiencing significant growth, with unit expansion nearing 20% and a robust franchisee cash flow that supports a potential doubling of its domestic store base, alongside international growth opportunities. In the latest quarter, the company opened a record 129 net new units globally and raised its 2025 net unit growth guidance to 17%-18%, indicating strong operational momentum. Although recent same-store sales were soft due to comparables, anticipated improvements from new kitchen technology and a loyalty program launching next year suggest optimistic projections for future sales acceleration and overall financial performance.
Bears say
Wingstop's second-quarter domestic same-store sales (SSS) fell by 1.9%, significantly worse than market expectations, highlighting potential weakness in consumer demand. The firm faces multiple risks, including tighter credit conditions that may discourage franchisee development, challenges to its delivery operations amid a cautious consumer environment, and volatility in chicken wing prices, all of which could further hamper sales and profit margins. Additionally, internal projections for third-quarter same-store sales have been revised down to a flat performance, indicating ongoing challenges in sustaining growth.
