Sustained 120%+ growth, year over year for quite a few years now.

Stupid valuation and finally looks like it's ready to roll over technically too.

Great food. Great concept. Works for single bar people and families. They are cash rich and using it to fund growth. I have yet to walk into a BWLD chain and be disappointed.

God I hate this place... Food isn't awful (for bar food) but it's way overpriced.
"Hey I got an idea, lets take 5 french-fries, sprinkle some kraft, shredded cheese on top, thriw it in the microwave, then charge these idiots $8.25."
There is a certain segment of the population (uneducated trash and college kids) that will frequent BW3 because it is loud, annoying and unhealthy (much like themselves) and it also has a whole bunch of flat-screen TV's (OMG!!!!!!) - So it is certain to be profitable, however, at this price ($40 range) there isn't going to be much more opportunity to make money.
Red thumb.

Gotten 'burned' here before, but I'm back with another 'spicy' underpeform pick. Wing prices, which zeroed out BWLD's margins in 2003 when they went to $1.60, are back up to $1.48, as the recession flapped the normally unflappable and got a lot of feathers ruffled. Ordinarily wings sell for about $0.96 to a buck a pound wholesale.
BWLD, according to a recent NY Times article, needs to buy 57 million pounds of wings this year. That's $25 million in cost of sales that they weren't expecting, on top of the whole revenue hit from the consumer slowdown. So I'm 'plucky' enough to chirp 'thumbs down'!

UFC FIGHTS!!!

I'm down on this stock because of personal experience in the restaurant. I went several months ago to one in the Fort Worth area to check it out because the stock is mentioned all the time in Hidden Gems. A friend and I ordered several appetizers and an entree each. The food was below average. The servers were what you'd expect in a fast food restaurant. We intended to stay and watch the UFC fights that night, but left early because all we could smell was cigarette smoke, even in the the non-smoking area. Not exactly a business model that leads to long term success. I won't be going back.

Strong franchising and a product people dont mind buying. They have cheap prices for their food that is good for a depressed economy.

Two words: Growth potential

love the company but its success has been largely priced into ints current price. short term underperform

Hey - another stock that I like, I even own it, but at these prices it's going down before it earns it's way back up.
Recs
Strong potential for consumers to begin treating themselves again to small luxuries like eating out or having a beer after work. Today's larger than expected consumer sentiment report seems to underscore the pent up demand and realization that the sky might not fall on us after all.

These MSG-laden buffalo wings may taste good but a more health-conscious population will send them flying! the way of the DoDo.
Recs
Good conservative but smart growth plan.
Recs
Good fundamentals, reasonable prices.
