One prediction market prices this story:
- Above -6% — the market puts it at 43%, closing 26 May 2027. Yes resolves if Wendy’s reports U.S. same-restaurant sales growth above -6% for fiscal 2026. No resolves if that growth is -6% or lower. Readers often mistake the deadline, confusing fiscal 2026 with a calendar year.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
