Nelson Peltz and Greg Flynn have a $1.4B offer on the table for Wendy's, or $7.35 per share. That's a 20% premium off the share price on Tuesday. But it's down 10% so far this year.
It also demonstrates just how much the company's valuation has come down. It's a 65% decline from 2024 and a 58% decline since 2024.
Peltz himself tried buying Wendy's in 2022 and said earlier this year he was considering a deal before reports indicated that he wasn't going to do that. But then something changed.
The Flynn part of the deal is fascinating because he is a big Wendy's operator and appears to be getting into the buy-chains business. But because it's Greg Flynn he doesn't just buy anything. $WEN

There’s something special about October in Ohio as we enjoy a stretch of weather that could make this the nicest October on record! ☀️🍂
Sunny skies, comfortable temperatures and beautiful fall colors have made it the perfect time to enjoy everything Ohio has to offer, from pumpkin patches and Friday night football games to festivals, outdoor dining and neighborhood trick-or-treating!
According to an @axios analysis of National Weather Service data, Columbus has already experienced 17 days of “nice” weather this month, putting us in historic territory. The record appears to be 21 days, set in 1924, and we still have a chance to beat it!
For Ohio’s restaurants, hotels, tourism destinations and local businesses, beautiful fall weather is a welcome boost, encouraging people to get outside, travel, dine out and enjoy their communities.

Here’s what’s at stake for restaurants in the 2026 midterm elections:
All eyes are on the Democrats as they attempt to wrest control of Congress.
If they do, expect movement on tariffs (questionable), eliminating the tip credit (terrible for restaurants, hotels, servers, bartenders and other tipped staff) and more.
