Shares of fast-food chain Wingstop (NASDAQ:WING)
fell 4.9% in the morning session after the company received downgrades from at least two analyst firms due to concerns about its future sales and financial pressure on its core customers. Brokerage TD Cowen lowered its rating on the stock to "Hold" from "Buy" and cut its price target to $285 from $310. The firm explained that its survey data showed that Wingstop's key customers, who are typically younger and have lower incomes, remained under financial pressure. As a result, TD Cowen expected same-store sales to fall by 0.5% in 2026, which was well below the growth that analysts had previously projected. Adding to the negative sentiment, Raymond James also cut its rating on the stock to "outperform" from "strong buy.".
