Analysis
Beloved champion
Wingstop Inc. sits in the top corner of our grid: excellent business, premium price; every investor already knows the story. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.
On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 52.0×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 19% a year, against analyst forecasts of 20%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
Growth is moderate; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analysts lean positive.
Flags to be aware of: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
