According to TD Cowen’s report after WING’s Q4 earnings last month, same-store sales are likely to decline by 0.5% in 2026.

TD Cowen’s survey data shows that the company’s core customers are facing increasing pressure. The firm said that the potential benefits in 2026 from loyalty programs, smart kitchens, and the FIFA World Cup will not be enough to overcome the challenges impacting the brand’s main customer base.
