Wendy's Q2 revenue falls 1.7% to $560.9 million as full-year profit outlook is cut

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Wendy's reported second-quarter 2025 results for the quarter ended June 29, 2025. Revenue and global systemwide sales declined, while diluted earnings per share rose 7.4% to $0.29, helped by a lower share count. The company lowered its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA outlook, which matters to shareholders because it signals weaker expected profit for the year.
