<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Wingstop has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Wingstop'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>, Wingstop's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.30%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Wingstop 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Barclays analyst Jeffrey A. Bernstein has outlined top themes to watch out for in the U.S. restaurants in 2025.
The restaurant industry, according to the analyst, is experiencing mixed results as it navigates a volatile environment heading into the third quarter of 2024.
A recent preview highlighted that many companies have struggled to meet expectations regarding same-store sales and earnings per share, noted the analyst.
Despite these challenges, most have shared optimistic outlooks on recent sales trends.
As 2024 progresses, the key focus remains the consumer outlook, which has been unpredictable. On a positive note, unemployment rates remain near record lows, and wages continue to rise, contributing to a healthy increase in real disposable income, the analyst added.
Inflation has also eased, allowing the Federal Reserve to slow down its rate changes, said the analyst.
However, the analyst warned that the cost of living, including high rent and basic expenses, continues to pressure consumers.
Consumer confidence has remained lower than pre-pandemic levels, and many restaurants are working to improve traffic by offering greater value in response to inflation concerns.
Commodity inflation, excluding coffee, has shown signs of normalization and December 2024 saw a year-on-year increase of around 16%, mainly driven by coffee prices, asserted the analyst.
Restaurants are expecting mid-single-digit inflation in 2025, assuming current prices hold and the industry is hoping for a more stable cost environment that can support margins amidst uncertain sales projections, added the analyst.
The analyst expressed concern about labor costs and said while wage inflation has slowed from the peaks seen during 2021 and 2022, December 2024 saw a year-on-year wage increase of 10.3%.
In menu pricing, restaurants are easing the aggressive price hikes seen in recent years and overall, the industry is moving towards smaller price increases as commodity and labor inflation stabilizes, said the analyst.
The analyst upgraded both Shake Shack Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>) and Dutch Bros Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>) to Overweight from Equal Weight.
The analyst downgraded Bloomin&#8217; Brands Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>) and Dine Brands Global Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIN#NYSE">DIN</a>) to Equal Weight from Overweight.

<h3>Comparing Wingstop P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 84.81 in the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry, Wingstop Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 96.06. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Wingstop Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733844626_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Wingstop 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Financing

Wingstop To Complete Securitized Financing Transaction; To Issue $500M Of New Securitized Notes; Expects Upzized Capacity Of Current Variable Funding Note Facility Of $200M-$300M

Goldman Sachs analyst Christine Cho upgraded Wingstop Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WING#NASDAQ">WING</a>) to Buy from Neutral, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WING/analyst-ratings">lowering the price forecast to $377 from $458.</a>
According to the analyst, Wingstop's new multi-year partnership with the NBA, making it the Official Chicken Partner of the NBA and NBA G League, serves as a clear catalyst to boost brand awareness and drive further growth.
Despite strong fundamentals, including best-in-class returns and growth, the stock has fallen 25% over the past month (while the S&amp;P rose 3%).
According to Cho, this decline follows a cost-driven miss in the third quarter and concerns from investors about potential deceleration in same-store sales growth (SSSG) for FY25, given tougher year-over-year comparisons.

On October 30, the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41629194">third-quarter results</a>, with system-wide sales rising 39.4% to $1.2 billion. However, the analyst projects a 7% SSSG in 2025, which would represent about 150 basis points of upside versus the Visible Alpha consensus, driven by continued brand awareness growth, digital transformation, and increased customer frequency.
Cho remains bullish on the company, highlighting its ability to deliver strong multi-year same-store sales growth, consistent double-digit unit expansion (both domestically and internationally), and sustainable EBITDA growth, all underpinned by a largely franchised model.
These factors align with the key pillars of the analyst&#8217;s Restaurant Industry Framework, Cho highlights.
This apart, Cho forecasts that strong franchisee unit economics and profits will pave the way for mid-teens unit growth over the next few years. Management has recently raised its long-term unit expansion targets to 6,000 units in the U.S. and 10,000 units globally, representing 2.7X and 4X growth from its current footprint, respectively.
Price Action: WING shares are trading higher by 1.84% to $338.00 at last check Friday.

It turns out that these analysts might be spot on this time around, as the stocks they selected to boost valuations and ratings carry several tailwinds and bullish factors with them. This is especially the case as the United States is under <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stock-ideas/inflation-trades-gain-momentum-what-investors-should-watch/">threat of an inflation resurgence</a>, suggested by the signal some markets are sending based on their current behavior relative to each other.
These stocks are inflation-friendly names, some in the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/consumer-discretionary/">consumer discretionary sector</a> and others in the technology and <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/oils-energy/">energy sector</a>, but at the end of the day, they all have a double-digit upside, as reiterated by analysts today. Shares of Roku Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/roku#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>), Wingstop Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wing#NASDAQ">WING</a>), and even First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fslr#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) are the top choices for Wall Street analysts today as they earned their bullish sentiment.
<h2>Why Wall Street Analysts Are Growing More Optimistic on Roku Stock</h2>
Inflation could hurt many businesses as they aren&#39;t able to pass down the increased costs that the market is going to hit them with. However, there are other business models that do a better job of diversifying. Some of these are subscription-based businesses, and that&#39;s where Roku stock comes into play.
The company has two tailwinds running in its favor. The first is the high-margin nature of technology and software stocks, as seen in the 44.5% gross profit margin in the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/ROKU/financials/">company&#39;s financial statements</a>. This low-cost setup allows the company to escape most of the inflation pressures that may come from the overall economy.
The second tailwind is the ability to pass down any cost increase through the subscription model. Users will likely keep making room in their monthly budgets so as not to lose the streaming service. More than that, a mid-single-digit increase in subscription prices isn&#39;t something that will break the bank for most customers.
With these factors at play, analysts at Needham &amp; Company decided to reiterate their Buy rating on Roku stock, which came with a <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/ROKU/forecast/">$100 a share price target</a>. Roku stock would have to rally by as much as 50% from where it trades today to prove these analysts right.
<h3>Analysts See Wingstop&#39;s Operational Efficiencies, Making It a Strong Buy</h3>
This is not typical for the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/retail-wholesale/">retail sector</a>, much less for consumer discretionary names. Still, Wingstop derives up to 70% of its sales from digital channels. This has a similar effect on the company as Roku&#39;s, keeping Wingstop&#39;s margins at the upper range of industry standards.
More profitability calls for bigger earnings per share (EPS) figures in the coming months, which Wall Street analysts agree with. For the next 12 months, analysts think Wingstop could see <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/WING/earnings/">up to $1.16 in EPS</a>, a significant increase of 32% from today&#39;s $0.88 level.
With inflation making Wingstop a better choice in the industry, price targets, and valuations also reflect this trend. Those at Stephens decided to keep their Overweight rating on Wingstop stock, this time with a <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/WING/forecast/">price target of up to $468 a share</a>. Compared to today&#39;s price, the stock would have to rally by as much as 60%, a fact that investors need to watch out for.
One last thing investors should keep in mind is the recent rate of institutional buying in Wingstop stock, especially from those at Assetmark, which recently boosted their holdings by 9.6%, bringing their position to a high of <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/WING/institutional-ownership/">$3.8 million today</a>.
<h3>Double-Digit Upside Could Await Investors Willing To Buy First Solar Stock</h3>
The inflation theme could raise oil prices, something that even Warren Buffett is betting on after he bought up to 29% of Occidental Petroleum Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oxy#NYSE">OXY</a>). The problem is that if oil prices go higher, so does the cost of most fuel sources.
Alternative energy sources, such as solar and wind, could become more attractive to users and investors. This is where First Solar stock comes into play. Analysts know this, particularly those at Guggenheim, after they kept their Buy rating on the stock, alongside a <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/FSLR/forecast/">price target of up to $335 a share</a>, calling for as much as 55% upside from where it trades today.
Knowing that the economy&#39;s trends could help these stocks, Wall Street analysts have projected up to $5.6 in EPS for the next 12 months, <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/FSLR/earnings/">a massive jump of 92%</a> from today&#39;s $2.91, to justify all the upside that&#39;s inherent in the stock today.
