TL;DR
Quick Summary
- Wendy’s posted a steep U.S. sales decline in Q4 2025, pushing management into a real reset instead of another promo-heavy patch.
- The company plans to close 5%–6% of U.S. restaurants in the first half of 2026, aiming to cut underperformers and modernize the system.
- International trends look healthier, giving Wendy’s a second engine while it rebuilds the U.S. business.
