Artisan Partners made the following comment about Wingstop Inc. (NASDAQ:WING) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

Wingstop Inc. (NASDAQ:WING) is a quick-service restaurant franchisor specializing in fresh, cooked-to-order chicken wings and fries. The company recently added a record number of new stores, which we find encouraging given our thesis is primarily predicated on the company growing its store footprint. Meanwhile, falling wing prices, menu innovation (chicken sandwich rollout in September, new flavors) and a ramp-up in advertising should fuel growth in the upcoming periods.”
