Wingstop (WING) Q3 2026 Earnings

Yes. Wingstop reported Q3 2026 earnings of $1.08 a share on Oct 28, 2026, beating the $1.02 consensus estimate by 5.8%. Revenue was $185.1M against a $193.1M estimate.

Wingstop delivered a mixed third quarter for fiscal 2026, beating on profit while falling short on sales, as a softening consumer backdrop weighed on traffic across its domestic system. The chicken wing chain posted adjusted EPS of $1.08, clearing the $1.02 consensus by 5.78% and extending its streak of beating analyst EPS estimates to six consecutive quarters; revenue, however, came in at $185.13 million, missing the $193.15 million estimate by 4.15%, though it still represented a 5.3% increase year-over-year. The primary culprit was a 5.4% decline in domestic same-store sales driven by lower transaction volumes, a headwind that pressured company-owned restaurant margins and pushed cost of sales as a percentage of company-owned revenue to 78.2% from 74.8% a year ago. Strength in net new unit development, including 76 openings in the quarter bringing the total system to 3,331 restaurants, partially cushioned the blow. Multiple analysts trimmed price targets ahead of the print, though Buy-equivalent ratings remained broadly intact. Looking ahead, Wingstop now expects domestic same-store sales to decline roughly 6.5% to 7% for the full year, with global net new unit growth of 14.4% to 14.7%.
