(WING) StockWINGAmrita RoyInvesting GroupSummaryI am reiterating my 'buy' rating on Wingstop with a $334 price target, implying 32% upside, driven by strong fundamentals and growth initiatives.Wingstop exceeded Q2 FY25 revenue and earnings estimates, opened 129 new locations, and saw AUV growth, supported by Smart Kitchen and digital investments.While there could be short-term volatility from macroeconomic uncertainty, its long-term growth is underpinned by tech upgrades, international expansion, and its commitment to scale to $3M in AUV.Wingstop's valuation is justified by projected revenue and earnings acceleration from next year onwards, with premium multiples warranted for its robust growth outlook through FY27.Photography By Tonelson/iStock via Getty ImagesIntroduction & Investment ThesisWhen I last wrote about Wingstop (WING), I upgraded my rating on the stock to a “buy,” as I believed investor pessimism had gone too far, extended from the companyMore on my IG serviceI am Amrita, and I write primarily about growth software stocks.I recently joined The REIT Forum and if you are looking for more investment ideas like this one, get them exclusively at The REIT Forum with access to our subscriber-only portfolios.This article was written byAmrita Roy4.76K FollowersAmrita runs a boutique family office fund in beautiful Vancouver, where she leads the investment strategy for the family fund. The fund's objective is to invest capital in sustainable, growth-driven companies that maximize shareholder equity by meeting their growth-oriented goals. In addition, she also started her own award-winning newsletter, The Pragmatic Optimist which focuses on portfolio strategy, valuation, and macroeconomics in concert with her husband Uttam Dey who is also a contributor on Seeking Alpha. Prior to cofounding her fund, Amrita worked for 5 years in high-growth supply-chain start-ups in downtown San Francisco, where she led strategy. During her time in the Bay Area, she also worked with venture capital firms and start-ups, where her efforts led her to grow the user acquisition business. During this time, she was introduced to investment portfolios and was able to maximize returns for clients during the pandemic. The cornerstone of Amritas work rests on democratizing financial literacy for everyone and breaking down financial jargon and complex macroeconomic concepts into formats that are easily digestible but more empowering than the typical investment thesis. Her newsletter has been featured as the Top Newsletter in Finance on popular newsletter platforms and she aims to bring her ideas to Seeking Alpha as well.Analyst’s Disclosure:I/we have no stock, option or similar derivative position in any of the companies mentioned, but may initiate a beneficial Long position through a purchase of the stock, or the purchase of call options or similar derivatives in WING over the next 72 hours.
