Wendy’s (WEN.US) stock rose sharply after today’s market open, climbing to highest levels since October 2020. Nevertheless, the share price unexpectedly turned into the negative territory.
The fast food-chain company released better-than-expected Q1 earnings. The firm’s net income totaled $41.4 million, or 18 cents a share, up from $14.4 million last year. Adjusted EPS of 20 cents managed to beat the FactSet consensus estimate of 15 cents. Revenue of $460.2 million also topped analysts’ expectations (FactSet consensus: $445.0 million). The company decided to raise its dividend by 11% to 10 cents a share and also raised its share repurchase plan by $50 million. Moreover, Wendy’s boosted its full-year guidance and now expects an adjusted EPS of 72 cents to 74 cents, and 8-10% global systemwide sales growth (previously: 6-8% sales growth).
