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>

<h2>Analyst Ratings: What Are They?</h2>
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.
