It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors.
While you may have an investing style you rely on, finding great stocks is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores. These are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on value, growth, and/or momentum characteristics.
Finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.
The Wendy's Company, the world’s third-largest quick-service restaurant company, operates through its subsidiary holding company — Wendy’s Restaurants, LLC. The fast-food chain through its subsidiary operates as a franchisor of Wendy's restaurant system. As of Sept. 29, 2024, Wendy's had 7,292 restaurants comprising both franchisees and company-operated restaurants in the United States and its territories and 31 other countries.

Compared to the Retail - Restaurants industry's P/E of 23.6X, shares of Wendy's are trading at a forward P/E of 14.4X. WEN also has a PEG Ratio of 2.2, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 8.3X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 1.3X.
