These Analysts Slash Their Forecasts On Wingstop After Q3 Results

Wingstop reported incredibly strong Q3 growth, consisting of accelerating unit expansion and great same-restaurant growth. A hiccup in Wingstop's earnings scared the market's incredibly tight expectations, as company-owned restaurants' income fell and SG&A increased due to higher stock-based compensation. WING stock is still expensive, but due to potential bull scenarios of rapid international growth or rapid restaurant acquisitions, the risk-to-reward is more balanced.
