On July 9, Wingstop declined 8.71% in regular trading, trading at $155.57/share, with turnover of $93.97 million. The decline was driven by a wave of analyst price target cuts and broad weakness across the restaurant sector.
Multiple investment banks have recently lowered their price targets on Wingstop: BofA Securities cut its target from $264 to $234, RBC reduced from $250 to $225, and UBS slashed its target from $210 to $160 while maintaining a Neutral rating. UBS noted that same-store sales weakness is expected to persist into Q2, with softness in lower-income and Hispanic consumer spending constituting ongoing headwinds. The company reported Q1 domestic same-store sales declined 8.7% year-over-year and lowered its full-year same-store sales guidance.
Within the Restaurants sector, stocks broadly declined. Among peers, McDonald's fell 1.54%, DoorDash fell 6.22%, Starbucks fell 0.47%, Darden Restaurants fell 2.14%, and Chipotle Mexican Grill fell 3.04%.
