- Friday, March 1, 6:47 AM Morgan Stanley downgrades Wendy's (WEN) to Underweight and sets a price target of $5 for shares. One of the challenges for the company is that its undertaking a large-scale upgrade of restaurants amid a sector seeing a margin pinch. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, February 28, 12:35 PM It's a whole new Wendy's (WEN +5.7%), according to execs trumpeting the redesigns taking place at restaurants across the U.S. The lounge-style setting replete with flat-screen TVs, leather chairs, and fireplaces has already been installed at 80 outlets with the company saying by the end of 2015 another 600 stores will see upgrades. The question on WEN: Can the company drift into the fast-casual sector and boost margins with McDonald's breathing down its neck? 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, February 28, 8:25 AM More on Wendy's (WEN): Q4 Same-restaurant sales slipped 0.2% Y/Y running up against a tough comp from last year when the Dave's Hot 'n Juicy cheeseburgers were introduced.

- Thursday, February 28, 7:10 AM Wendy's (WEN): Q4 EPS of $0.07 beats by $0.05. Revenue of $629.9M beats by $8M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
- Friday, February 22, 8:50 AM The restaurant sector is on watch after a pre-earnings warning from Darden Restaurants (DRI) and a harsh downgrade on Wendy's (WEN) sets a negative tone. The picture being painted for 2013 is starting to get pretty consistent - margin pain and soft traffic trends. Other things to watch in 2013 for the sector: 1) The impact of higher payroll taxes. 2) The coming costs of the Affordable Care Act. 3) The push to raise the minimum wage. 4) Which chains can succeed in China and India? 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, February 22, 8:16 AM A survey released by the CDC indicates Americans are trending toward eating less fast food than in the past as a percentage of their daily intake. Though some consumers are switching to healthier alternatives at McDonald's (MCD), Wendy's (WEN), and Burger King (BKW) - the healthier eating trend could also be incrementally affecting store traffic at the chains. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, February 22, 7:21 AM Credit Suisse downgrades Wendy's (WEN) to Underperform from Neutral due to valuation concerns following the stock's mini-rally this week. Higher commodity costs and a cautious consumer spending are broader themes in play in the restaurant sector. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 20, 1:56 PM Restaurant companies Wendy's (WEN +5.7%), Ruth's Hospitality (RUTH +7.1%), and Texas Roadhouse (TXRH +6.3%) show outsized gains in a sector struggling to finds its footing with margins getting pinched. The moves could be some portfolio re-shuffling by investors as the trio have been showing stronger same-store sales numbers and traffic trends than rivals. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, February 13, 5:31 PM The Wendy's Company (WEN) declares $0.04/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 3.05%. For shareholders of record Mar. 01. Payable Mar. 15. Ex-div date Feb. 27. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Wednesday, February 13, 10:14 AM Margin pain on the horizon: Restaurants could get squeezed this year from a combination of higher commodity costs and frugal consumers, according to AlixPartners. Though traffic is forecast to rise 3%, the average ticket is expected to decline 4.7% with coupons, promotions, and discounts gaining favor. Chains that are expected to ride out the expected tough environment are those that can deliver healthy food fast. Chipotle (CMG -1.8%), privately-held Subway, and Panera (PNRA -1.5%) fit the bill. 6 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, February 11, 10:00 AM Will Yum Brands (YUM -0.4%) consider making a play for Wendy's (WEN +3.4%)? David Englander raises the idea as he notes how the positive changes at Wendy's makes the company quite attractive to Yum Brands which has a gaping hole in its restaurant brand portfolio without a burger business of its own. An acquisition would also lower the company's dependence on China - a sticking point to some investors at the moment. 2 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Monday, February 11, 8:21 AM Shares of Wendy's (WEN) jump 5.1% premarket after a Barron's article calls out the stock to gain as much as 40%. The take on WEN: A major transformation which includes new menu items and remodeled stores will continue to pay off as the restaurant operator sees higher same-store sales growth than peers McDonald's and Burger King. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, January 22, 1:44 PM Analysts warn that with the economy so fragile and pricing competition fierce it will hard for restaurants to pass on the higher wholesale beef prices that are forecast down to consumers. Though quick-service chains will toy with their menus (more chicken) and try to use forward purchase contracts to lower costs, the impact of last year's drought could take a few seasons to reverse. 6 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, January 16, 7:55 AM Shares of Chipotle (CMG) shed 10.7% in premarket trading after the company estimated its Q4 profit would fall well-below the estimate of analysts. Analysts think Chipotle's warning on food costs could cut a wide swath across the quick-service restaurant sector with the introduction of more dollar value menus making price hikes trickier. 1 Comment
- Wednesday, January 16, 7:18 AM More on Wendy's (WEN) Q4: North America same-store sales declined 0.2% off a tough comparable sparked by last year's introduction of Dave's Hot 'n Juicy cheeseburgers.

Wendy's ($WEN) is stuck at $5 resistance, but I think the stock is worth more than that. 3% dividend helps. http://yhoo.it/XJjYfs;c= - View all 0 replies
