Truist lowered the firm’s price target on Wingstop (WING) to $400 from $420 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares as part of a broader research note previewing a “lackluster” Q3 among Restaurant names. The firm notes that the company’s heavy exposure to Hispanic and lower-income consumers is creating a strong macro headwind, but it also expects a building benefit from the ‘Smart Kitchen’ rollout, easing year-ago compares in coming months and quarters, continued growth on marketing spend, and the FY26 rollout of a loyalty program to drive a return to positive SSS by Q4, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
