<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>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 9.77%, 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>

<h3>A Look at Wingstop P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 82.37 in the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry, Wingstop Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 88.79. 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/2025/1738690210_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 $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.

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.
