Shares of The Wendy's Company (NASDAQ:WEN) were rocketing 18% higher today
after the WallStreetBets subreddit crowd apparently turned its attention to
the fast-food chain and mentioned it as a possible short squeeze candidate.
Chat room traders this year have driven up the shares of a number of
companies that short-sellers have bet heavily against. While squeezes are not
uncommon, retail investors have driven the discussion since January when they
rallied together to support GameStop (NYSE:GME) and lash out at hedge funds
that overplayed their hands.
Wendy's, though, is an unlikely stock to serve as a rallying point for Reddit
investors, as there were just 8.2 million shares sold short at last count,
down almost 18% from the prior period and amounting to just 4% of the shares
outstanding.
With days to cover standing at around 2.5, it doesn't seem like a strong
candidate to carry the banner next.
Wendy's stock is actually up 43% from the 52-week low it hit in March, and
last month beat analyst expectations for first-quarter results, posting
revenue of $460 million and generating adjusted profits of $0.20 per share.
That was notably better than the $444 million in revenue and $0.14 per share
in earnings Wall Street anticipated.
While the meme stocks of the trading frenzy that started 2021 continue to
capture the Reddit crowd's fancy, such as AMC Entertainment Holdings
(NYSE:AMC), which has doubled in the past week alone, there have been a few
other stocks that were curious choices, such as Tootsie Roll Industries
(NYSE:TR), whose stock spiked over 100% in January and still trades 15% above
where it started the year.
Wendy's has several tailwinds, including a returning workforce and a bullish
outlook by management that raised full-year guidance.
機翻如下：
溫蒂公司（NASDAQ:WEN）的股價今天飆升18%，此前WallStreetBets分論壇的人群顯然將
注意力轉向了這家速食連鎖店，並提到它可能是做空的候選者。
今年以來，聊天室交易員推動了一些被做空者大量押注的公司的股價上漲。雖然嘎空並不
罕見，但自1月份以來，散戶投資者已經推動了討論，當時他們聚集在一起支持GameStop
（NYSE:GME），並抨擊那些玩過頭的對沖基金。
不過，溫蒂的股票不太可能成為reddit投資者的集結點，因為據最後統計，只有820萬股
被賣空，比上期下降近18%，僅占流通股的4%。
補倉天數約為2.5天，它似乎不是下一個扛起大旗的有力候選人。
溫蒂的股票實際上比3月份創下的52周低點上漲了43%，上個月的第一季度業績超過了分析
師的預期，公佈的收入為4.6億美元，調整後的利潤為每股0.20美元。
這明顯好於華爾街預期的4.44億美元的收入和每股0.14美元的收益。
雖然2021年開始的交易狂潮中的迷因股繼續吸引Reddit人群的目光，比如AMC娛樂控股公
司（NYSE:AMC），僅在過去一周就翻了一番，但也有一些其他股票是令人好奇的選擇，比
如Tootsie Roll Industries（NYSE:TR），其股價在1月份飆升超過100%，目前仍比年初
時的價格高出15%。
Wendy's有幾個有利條件，包括勞動力回流和管理層提高全年指導價的看好前景。
心得/評論：
WSB有時候真的是瘋瘋的
被帶風向去怒炒了一波溫蒂漢堡
雖然溫蒂漢堡嚴格來說也算是疫情復甦股
半夜一邊笑一邊轉這個新聞真的肚子餓了
