Though Wall Street is watching short-term stock moves spurred by quarterly results, the top analysts have their eyes on companies' long-term prospects. Bearing that in mind, here are three stocks favored by the Street's top pros, according to TipRanks, a platform that ranks analysts based on their past performance.

☆ How the stars aligned for Wingstop stock to gain 380% in 5 years
  + stars: | 2024-03-23 | by ( Lloyd Lee | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
In the past five years, Wingstop, which is listed on the Nasdaq, saw its stock grow 380%, from $72.36 in March 2019 to $348 as of Thursday. Not the wildest 5-year rally by any means, but those are some eye-catching gains for a chicken wing-slinging, fast-food chain. Fast food chains were no exception. It's also difficult to look at other more storied fast food restaurants, such as McDonald's, which is trading at $282.63 as of Friday, and compare that to Wingstop, Gargiulo said. But overall, there are very few fast food restaurants that look and operate like Wingstop.

☆ Wingstop CEO says majority of company's growth comes from existing franchisees reinvesting
  + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Wingstop CEO Michael Skipworth discussed the chicken wings-focused restaurant chain's growth with CNBC's Jim Cramer, saying much of it comes from existing franchisees reinvesting in the business. "If we look back over the restaurants we've opened over the last year, over 90% of those came from our existing franchisees reinvesting, which I think just speaks to the strength of the model," Skipworth said. He added that Wingstop's partnership with companies like DoorDash and Uber Eats is also bringing customers to the business. According to Skipworth, widespread inflation is not hurting the company's franchisees. And it doesn't take a lot of capital to open a Wingstop," he said.
