Wendy's stock surged 42% this week due to a viral Reddit WallStreetBets rally, similar to GameStop and AMC meme-stock phenomena. While the spike is driven by social media momentum, the company has legitimate turnaround potential with new CFO Steve Cirulis (who previously helped turn around Potbelly) and expansion plans in China.
