Wendy’s Company (WEN) stock has dropped 18.9% in the past month, underperforming the industry and S&P 500 due to macroeconomic challenges, competition, and high operating costs impacting discretionary dining.

Despite challenges, Wendy’s fundamentals remain strong with global same-restaurant sales growth, emphasis on innovation, and breakfast offerings to drive performance in 2025.

WEN trades at a discount compared to industry peers but faces downward earnings estimate revisions for 2025, signaling potential volatility ahead.

Investors may consider holding existing positions while new buyers may want to wait for clearer visibility on margin recovery and sustained earnings momentum.
