Analysts expect Wendy’s to report Q2 2026 revenue of $557.36 million and adjusted EPS of $0.16, with the stock currently trading at $7.69 against a consensus price target of $7.98. The primary focus for investors is U.S. same-restaurant sales growth, which serves as a critical measure of the company's "Project Fresh" turnaround strategy amid a difficult consumer backdrop.
Recent performance has been hampered by declining store traffic and a pivot away from breakfast initiatives, leading to a projected 44.8% YoY decline in quarterly earnings. Despite these headwinds, the brand continues to expand its international footprint and digital loyalty programs to offset domestic weakness and margin pressures from food and labor inflation.
