$FUN vs. $PRKS 👀
Wingstop is down 12% today, at it’s lowest level since 2022. Lot of resturant stocks getting smoked I’m old enough to remember when seemingly everyone was shouting $WING from the rooftops at $400+ because it was up 400%+ in like a year Nearly every retail loved restaurant stock has a bubble moment at some point in time. WING, CAVA, CMG, SG, SHAK, PTLO just to name a few. They always get priced so optimistically and always decelerate. Hard stocks to own. Except $CAKE I guess. CAKE and Flower Child are hotter than ever

Headless flows dominate the market

Colombia is likely to be extended, especially with Abelardo admin as counterparty. $ASR already in talks to fund Medellin expansion which would lead to new contract. What's wrong with Motiva acquisition? Balance sheet should be levered more, especially when buying at such low multiple. I don't think Cancun has "peaked" quite yet, but it will come at some point probably within 5-10 years. Cabos/PV are decent competition.

Why has $LULU never tried to buildout specialized yoga studios or acquire a chain like Corepower? Seems like it would be a great way to get more stable / recurring revenue via memberships and a good opportunity to cross sell products and attract the companies core clientele (fit yoga girls? I don't even know anymore man)

HGV · long Hilton Grand Vacations faces an inflection point in profitability growth and free cash flow generation.
$HLT , $MAR and increasingly $H seem to have a differing opinion. Hyatt went so far as to buy Playa Hotels & Resorts in June 2025 for $2.6 billion and by December, they had sold the physical hotels portfolio for $2 billion (excluding earnouts). https://t.co/U57yjWUnMy
