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

5%+ SSS comps for the core franchise at $CAKE this quarter. The stock was obviously telling everyone about the inflection in trend. I would like to see better comps at North Italia. Flower Child units could grow faster, but it's clear some of the menu changes and technology improvements are yielding better traffic. It's been a long time since they posted a 5%+ comp. SSS + unit growth is a rare breed in consumer land, $CAKE has it. The LLOK trade remains alive and well. @TiberiusCapital

I call this the "LLOK" trade (Lower Leg of the K). This is a really interesting non-consensus thematic opportunity, dare I call it contrarian (if you're old enough to remember when that was a preferred approach to alpha generation). Investors have been quick to dismiss anything resembling a LLOK trade, but look what's happened in the past few weeks: $DLTR, $CASY, $CBRL, $PENN, $PRKS all massively outperforming in the past month. I'll include my beloved $CAKE in this group. Yes, some of that is factor rotation, but employment tailwinds for this consumer set might be better as a result of data center CAPEX/reindustrialization, and the "sell these names on gas prices" trade couldn't be hackneyed analysis. Finally, follow @TiberiusCapital, he's one of the best investors I know.
