Wingstop stock price (NASDAQ: WING) closed at $434.20 on June 27, 2024, up 1.12% intraday, supported by higher-than-expected Q2 sales growth of 16% year-on-year, driven by robust digital channel performance and expanding international footprint. Kura Sushi has introduced additional technology to its restaurants in the form of refrigerated and covered conveyor belt dishes for food safety, robotic drink servers, touchscreen ordering, and a gamified rewards system that dispenses prizes from brands like Hello Kitty and DC Comics to diners. The prizes resemble Happy Meal toys from McDonald's . Between the lines: US comparable company-owned restaurant sales grew 3.6% in the quarter, while restaurant margin improved by 80 basis points to 24.9%. Strong marks were aided by Wingstop’s Smart Kitchen rollout, which reduces ticket times and bolsters consistency through tech enhancements. Technical analysts expect Wingstop stock price to test the $450 level in coming weeks, contingent on sustaining trading volume above 1.2M shares daily, signaling breakout potential.
