Wingstop (WING) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Wingstop (WING) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Wingstop demonstrates a robust potential for sales acceleration, particularly if same-store sales (SSS) improve to a mid-single-digit percentage growth in the second half of 2025, signaling strong business momentum. The company's franchising model—comprising 98% of its stores—enables significant revenue generation through franchise royalties and advertising fees, contributing to its sustainability and facilitating a healthy multiple for its shares despite current sales trends. Moreover, the strategic focus on menu innovations and international expansion is poised to enhance overall business performance, with management expected to reveal more insights into long-term growth targets that could exceed 12,000 total units globally.
Bears say
Wingstop has experienced a significant downward revision in its 2026 EBITDA and EPS estimates, decreasing by 5% and 16% respectively, attributed to dilutive refinancing and increased depreciation and amortization from MyWingstop investments. Growing concerns regarding operational volatility caused by macroeconomic factors such as recession risks, consumer confidence erosion, and potential disruptions in delivery services further exacerbate the company’s outlook. Additionally, risks related to tighter credit conditions affecting franchise development and the adverse impact of rising chicken wing prices on store-level margins present substantial challenges that could hinder the company’s growth trajectory.
