Analysis
Middle-of-the-road
The Wendy's Company sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.
On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 6.2×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around -10% a year, against analyst forecasts of 1%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
Growth is tepid; the safety picture is fragile. The company scores 8/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.
Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
