WEN Earnings Call
Q3 2025
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call highlighted strong international growth, digital sales improvements, and the successful launch of new products like Chicken Tendies. However, these positives were offset by significant challenges in the U.S. market, including a decline in same-restaurant sales, margin pressures, and financial strain on franchisees. The strategic shift in focusing on long-term growth through Project Fresh and system optimization indicates a proactive approach to addressing these issues.View all WEN earnings summariesWEN Stock 12 Month Forecast
