WING Earnings FAQ

Answers computed from Wingstop Inc.'s reported history

WING is scheduled to report on Oct 28, 2026, before the market opens. Analysts expect EPS of $1.04.

Over the last 12 quarters with a usable EPS surprise, WING beat the consensus estimate 11 times (92%), missed 1 and landed in line 0. It has beaten estimates in each of the last 7 counted quarters.

Across its last 12 quarters with a measured reaction, WING moved an average of ±9.6% in the first session after reporting. It closed higher 50% of the time; the largest gain was 26.9% and the largest drop -21.4%.

Options currently price a move of about ±11.2% (nearest at-the-money straddle that expires after the report). It measures the size of the expected move, not its direction. That is 1.17x its average historical move of ±9.6%, so options look fairly priced relative to history.

WING fell in the first session after 5 of its last 11 EPS beats (46%). A beat that was already priced in, or weaker guidance, can send a stock lower. In 4 of the 5 of those falls where price data is available, the stock had already risen before the report.

Across its last 12 quarters with price data, WING moved an average of -2.1% in the 20 trading sessions before reporting and was higher in 50% of them. After a run-up of 3% or more (5 quarters), it fell the next day 80% of the time, averaging -2.3%. After a drop of 3% or more (6 quarters), it rose the next day 67% of the time, averaging +5.0%. This describes past reports; it is not a forecast.

In 12 reports WING opened at least 1% away from the previous close. It gave back half or more of that gap by the close 4 of 12 times (33%), and fully reversed 3 times. A fade means the opening move was partly undone during the first session.
