Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Harbour maintains $Wingstop (WING.US)$ with a hold rating, and adjusts the target price from $415 to $385.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 51.5% and a total average return of -0.7% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Wingstop (WING.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Wingstop's Q3 performance, while not meeting the heightened anticipations, remained robust with a 21% increase driven by customer traffic. Furthermore, the company's upward revision of its 2024 unit guidance is a testament to ongoing franchisee interest. Post-earnings, the opportunity to invest is seen as favorable due to Wingstop's sustained 40%-plus three-year cumulative comparable sales growth.
Wingstop's third-quarter earnings per share fell short due to somewhat weaker comparable sales, softer restaurant margins, and increased general and administrative expenses, coupled with taxes. Despite this, the company's overall business momentum continues robust, and its long-term prospects remain solid. However, the observable deceleration in comparable sales could cap the stock's performance until signs of stabilization align with valuation metrics.
The perceived post-Q3 downturn in Wingstop's performance is seen as exaggerated. Analysts maintain that the company stands out in the industry with the potential to surpass transaction growth expectations in various economic conditions. It is anticipated that their continued outperformance in same-store sales will fuel superior unit economics, which could lead to an increased pace in unit expansion and an annual EBITDA growth surpassing the company's existing long-term projections.

此外，綜合報道，$Wingstop (WING.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
wingstop 在第三季度的表現雖未達到過高期望，但在顧客流量推動下保持強勁增長21%。此外，公司對 2024 年單位指引的上調是持續的特許經營者興趣的證明。盈利後，由於 wingstop 保持的40%以上三年累計可比銷售增長，投資機會被視爲有利。
由於較弱的可比銷售、較低的餐廳利潤率、增加的一般和管理費用，再加上稅收，wingstop 第三季度每股收益表現不佳。儘管如此，公司的整體業務勢頭持續強勁，長期前景仍然穩固。然而，可比銷售增速放緩可能限制股票表現，直到出現與估值指標匹配的穩定跡象爲止。
認定 wingstop 在第三季度後的表現下降被誇大。分析師認爲，該公司在行業中脫穎而出，具有在各種經濟狀況下超越交易增長預期的潛力。預計他們在同店銷售持續表現優異將推動出色的單位經濟，這可能導致單位擴張速度增加，年度 EBITDA 增長超過公司現有的長期預期。
