Wingstop Inc. reported Q2 results that sent the stock surging. Unit growth accelerated, and profitability came in at a strong level. The report still comes with a major negative consideration. Same-store sales have started to decline, raising long-term concern in Wingstop's growth story. The stock's valuation is too expensive. I estimate WING to have a 32% downside to $249.

Wingstop's stock surged over 25% after raising its 2025 new restaurant opening forecast, despite weakening domestic same-store sales growth. I reiterate my sell rating, as Wingstop's valuation now appears speculative and risks from sluggish same-store sales growth remain elevated. While Wingstop excels in cost management and franchise-driven revenue, much of its recent strength is already priced into the stock.
