Wendy’s (WEN) Shares Prove Jim Cramer’s Advice To Sell Was Right

The Wendy’s Company (NASDAQ:WEN) is one of the 20 Stocks Jim Cramer Wanted You To Sell & Immediately Get Out Of.

The Wendy’s Company (NASDAQ:WEN)’s shares are down by 44% over the past year and by 13% year-to-date. They are down by 54% since Cramer discussed the firm in February. However, some marginal and major rises have occurred during this time period. For instance, The Wendy’s Company (NASDAQ:WEN)’s stock closed 1.3% higher on August 8th after the firm reported its fiscal second quarter earnings report. The results saw the firm post $0.29 in earnings per share and $560 million in revenue to beat analyst estimates. Earlier this year, The Wendy’s Company (NASDAQ:WEN)’s shares closed a strong 16.9% higher on February 19th, with media reports suggesting that speculation surrounding a takeover of the firm by Nelson Peltz and Trian was to blame for the rise. Yet, with the stock still down considerably since February 2025, Cramer’s advice to sell has stood the test of time. Here is what he said on Mad Money on the 25th:

“Wendy’s? No. You’re gonna sell Wendy’s tomorrow and you’re going to buy Texas Roadhouse because that’s the one. We had them on Friday. They’re monster good. We bought it for the Charitable Trust. You’re buying, you’re buying TXRH tomorrow.”
