Restaurant company Wendy's Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEN#NASDAQ">WEN</a>) may have a secret weapon up its sleeve in the battle of fast food restaurants as the industry competes<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants"> to win customers.</a>
What Happened: While most restaurants are focused on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39428015/mcdonalds-announces-5-value-meal-as-it-looks-to-win-back-customers-were-committed-to-winning-the-val">value menu offerings,</a> Wendy's is turning its attention to a collaboration with one of the most well-known television characters in the last 25 years.
Wendy's announced Wednesday that it is collaborating with Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>) owned Nickelodeon to celebrate the 25th anniversary of "SpongeBob SquarePants."
The restaurant company is rolling out its Krabby Patty Kollab that includes several menu items available at participating Wendy's locations for a limited time beginning Oct. 8. On Oct. 7 a Los Angeles location will offer an early sneak peek of the collaboration with "an immersive Wendy's drive-thru experience."
Wendy's is launching the following unique exclusive menu items:
<ul>
<li>Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty: iconic vanilla frosty with pineapple mango flavored puree swirl</li>
<li>Krabby Patty Kollab Burger: quarter pound of Wendy's fresh, never frozen beef, with two slices of American cheese, crip lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, and a top-secret Krabby Kollab sauce on a toasted premium bun</li>
<li>"The Krabby Patty Kollab menu items are worth the wait for both ‘SpongeBob SquarePants' fands and Wendy's customers alike," the restaurant company said.</li>
</ul>
Wendy's will be the exclusive restaurant brand to partner on the "SpongeBob SquarePants" inspired menu items.
"In a world of people cutting corners, Wendy's is known for quality in everything we do – from our fresh, famous food to collaborations with brands that our fans love," Wendy's U.S. Chief Marketing Officer Lindsay Radkoski said.
Radkoski said the hope is that fans of all ages enjoy the collaboration of "two of the most iconic squares in pop culture."

Why It's Important: The partnership could prove beneficial for Wendy's. It will likely highlight the company's unique square beef patties on its burgers. The partnership also highlights how Wendy's went from having one Frosty flavor to offering limited time flavors.
In 2006, Wendy's launched a vanilla Frosty alongside its signature chocolate flavor. Over the years, Wendy's has also offered flavors like strawberry, orange dreamsicle and triple berry.
Restaurant companies have been partnering with celebrities for years mainly through advertisements. McDonald's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) turned to celebrities for partnered meals that in some cases brought huge traffic to locations. McDonald's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/09/29059898/happy-meals-for-adults-coming-to-mcdonalds-heres-how-kanye-west-could-be-involved">partnered with the likes </a>of BTS, Saweetie, J Balvin and Travis Scott on meals.
Wendy's missed revenue estimates in the second quarter. Over the last five quarters, the company has missed revenue five straight times. However, it beat earnings per share expectations three times, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent100224&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro</a>.
The restaurant company is expected to report third-quarter financial results in October. While the quarter won't include the results of the SpongeBob collaboration, the report could be a potential catalyst for Wendy's.
If the company misses estimates, it could focus on the fourth quarter and how the collaboration is performing. If the company beats estimates, it could have extra optimism if it can point to how the collaboration is performing.
Price Action: Wendy's stock is down 1.1% to $17.46 on Wednesday, versus a 52-week trading range of $15.62 to $20.65.

Pre-Market Outlook

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Give Their Take On 3 Consumer Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

Wendy's's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEN#NYSE">WEN</a>) short percent of float has risen 26.75% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 14.05 million shares sold short, which is 9.57% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.52 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Wendy's Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727798424_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Wendy's has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Wendy's's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Wendy's's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.80%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates. This supplementary information provides further guidance for traders. It is crucial to recognize that, despite their specialization, analysts are human and can only provide forecasts based on their beliefs.

지난 4월부터 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/01/36493680/mcdonalds-18-big-mac-meal-goes-viral-again-as-fast-food-minimum-wage-hike-to-20-triggers-fears-of-sk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">캘리포니아</a> 주 내 패스트푸드 직원들은 최저 시급 20달러를 받게 되었다.
이번 달 초부터 시행된 새 법률 덕분에 미국 전역에 60개 이상의 매장을 보유한 캘리포니아의 패스트푸드 체인점들은 그들의 직원들에게 더 많은 임금을 지급해야 한다.
작은 규모의 패스트푸드 점포들은 여전히 시간당 16달러의 주 최저임금을 적용받는다.
가장 큰 상장 패스트푸드 기업들로는 맥도날드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>); 스타벅스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>); 타코벨(Taco Bell)과 피자헛(Pizza Hut) 및 KFC를 소유하고 있는 얌! 브랜즈 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>); 웬디스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEN#NASDAQ">WEN</a>); 버거킹(Burger King)를 소유한 레스토랑 브랜드 인터내셔널(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NASDAQ">QSR</a>); 치폴레 멕시칸 그릴(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>); 파파 존스 인터내셔널(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PZZA#NASDAQ">PZZA</a>) 그리고 잭인더박스 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JACK#NASDAQ">JACK</a>)) 등이 있다.
4월 1일에 이 법률이 시행된 이후 이 기업들의 많은 주식들이 가치를 잃었다.
더 읽어보기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/38083611">AI가 패스트푸드 직업을 뺏을까? KFC, 타코벨 운영사 얌 브랜즈가 챗GPT와 비슷한 봇을 운영 계획</a>
캘리포니아에서는 최저임금 인상이 꼭 필요하다고 여겨졌다. 무엇보다, <a href="https://www.rentcafe.com/cost-of-living-calculator/us/ca/">캘리포니아에서의 생활비</a>는 미국 전국 평균보다 약 38% 높다.
일부 패스트푸드 기업들은 직원 근무시간을 줄이고 메뉴 가격을 올리는 방안을 고려하고 있다.
인-앤-아웃 버거(In-N-Out Burger)의 사장 린시 스나이더(<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEN#NASDAQ">Lynsi Snyder</a>)는 투데이(Today)와의 <a href="https://www.today.com/video/in-n-out-burger-president-shares-story-behind-family-run-business-208611397732">인터뷰</a>에서 &#8220;이 가격으로는 인상할 수 없다&#8221;고 말했다.
주로 캘리포니아에 400개 이상의 레스토랑을 소유하고 있는 그녀의 회사는 계속해서 비상장 기업으로 운영되고 있다. 스나이더는 프랜차이즈 모델을 공개하거나 공개할 계획이 없다고 말했다.
그러나 인-앤-아웃은 로스앤젤레스의 매장들에서 햄버거 한 개당 약 25센트씩 가격을 올렸다. 이는 다른 음식점들이 시행했던 가격 인상에 비해 낮은 수치이다.
뉴욕 포스트에 <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/11/business/in-n-out-president-lynsi-snyder-went-toe-to-toe-to-keep-menu-prices-down/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">따르면</a>, 로스앤젤레스의 버거킹 한 곳에서는 &#8220;더블 텍사스 와퍼(Double Texas Whopper)&#8221;의 가격이 15.09달러에서 16.89달러로 12% 인상되었다고 한다.
지난해 9월 법이 통과되기도 전에 많은 레스토랑 체인이 임금 인상 준비에 착수했다. 일부 회사에서는 자동화를 전략으로 모색하고 있으며, 이는 2017년 셀프 서비스 주문 키오스크를 통해 시작된 <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-self-serve-kiosks-at-mcdonalds-mean-for-cashiers-2017-6">트렌드</a>이다.
인사이더(Insider)에 <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/california-fast-food-minimum-wage-order-kiosks-burger-king-popeyes-2024-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">따르면</a> 버거킹과 같은 주요 패스트푸드 프랜차이즈들은 새로운 디지털 주문 키오스크를 기존 직원들을 대체하기 위해 사용하고 있다고 한다.
버거킹 경영진은 최근에 발표한 보고서에서 디지털 셀프 서비스 화면과 상호작용할 때 손님들이 보다 큰 식사를 주문하는 경향이 있다고 지적했다.
10월에 캘리포니아 주지사인 개빈 뉴섬(Gavin Newsom)이 해당 법률에 서명한 후 맥도날드의 CEO인 크리스 켐프친스키(Chris Kempczinski)는 회사의 3분기 실적에 대한 통화에서 이 정책이 &#8220;단기간 내 프랜차이즈의 현금흐름에 확실히 타격을 줄 것&#8221;이라고 말했다.
그러나 이 새로운 법의 부차적인 영향은 캘리포니아의 패스트푸드 부문에 더 큰 문제를 일으킬 수도 있다. 잭인더박스(Jack-In-The-Box) 프랜차이즈 소유자는 일요일 비지니스 인사이더(Business Insider)와의 <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fast-food-california-expensive-diners-could-switch-to-chilis-applebees-2024-4">인터뷰</a>에서 패스트푸드 체인의 가격 상승이 브링커 인터내셔널(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAT#NYSE">EAT</a>) 또는 다인 브랜즈 글로벌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIN#NYSE">DIN</a>)의 자회사 애플비(Applebee)가 소유한 칠리스(Chili&#8217;s)와 같은 캐주얼 식당의 시장 점유율 손실을 의미할 수 있다고 추측했다.
캐주얼 다이닝 레스토랑은 가격을 변경하지 않고 계속 운영할 수 있다면 이익을 얻을 수 있다.
