Summary

Wendy's shares surged for a second consecutive day as retail investors, driven by social-media enthusiasm on platforms like Reddit, piled into the heavily shorted fast-food chain. The stock rose 12% in premarket trading following a 25.7% gain the previous session — its biggest since June 2021. Analysts note the rally appears disconnected from company fundamentals, marking Wendy's as the latest meme-stock phenomenon reminiscent of the GameStop saga.
