Wingstop reports Q1 EPS $1.08, consensus $1.03

Reports Q1 revenue $183.7M, consensus $187.76M. Reports Q1 System-wide sales of $1.4B increased 5.9% vs. Q1 2025. “Despite the decline in same store sales, we delivered system-wide sales growth and double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth in the quarter supported by 17% unit growth. Our results demonstrate the resiliency of our asset-light, highly franchised model,” said Michael Skipworth, President and CEO. “Our focus in the first quarter centered upon enhancing unit economics for our brand partners and advancing our strategies that we believe will position us to return to same store sales growth. We believe 2026 is going to be a transformational year for Wingstop (WING) and remain extremely confident in the long-term opportunity in front of us as we continue to scale into a top 10 global restaurant brand.”
