BK

specialasset

Market crashes aren’t relevant to this question. Individual companies go BK or become irrelevant enough to become penny stocks regardless of performance in the broader market.

SuperNewk

So this is a nice dip to make retail say BK!!! Then it just rips while big whales load?

Ok_Location7677

Do you know how many burnouts I know that are “sober soldiers”. They work down at the BK and make 12 an hour 😂 they didn’t accomplish much either. So aren’t you also hand picking certain successful individuals to fit your narrative sir? Pot. Kettle. Black.

Level__2

Priced for BK

coeu

I guess? I personally don't know a person that buys there. I buy McD or BK once or twice a year and always regret it. It's really interesting how these places will have tons and tons of reviews aka purchases on delivery apps yet always have 3.5 star or so ratings. I personally don't get it.

hallett21

Is lucid going BK today?

Confident_Insect_616

I like the new frosty flavors. Their fries still beat the shit out of McDonalds, BK, Arby's, the lot of 'em. They actually seem like potato.

To the BK Lounge

wsbgodly123

Until BK and then restart the process

Suspicious_Bear42

Work at Wendy's as well, my go to is the crispy chicken BLT. I could take or leave their burgers, if I want a fast food burger, I'm going to hit BK or Checkers/Rally's.

Zickened

In comparison to... what? BK is nasty as fuck. McD is nasty as fuck. Jack is nasty as fuck. In'n'out is overpriced freezer food. Nasty as fuck. TB is palatable if you really have a hankering for diarrhea an hour later. Everything else are dying chain stores that don't have the footprint of Wendy's. I can't believe I'm arguing for Wendy's on the fucking internet, but here we are. Tell me sir, if you've got ten bucks in your bank account and 20 minutes to get food, where do you go? It sure as shit isn't Chipotle It sure as shit isn't Qdoba It sure as shit isn't 5 Guys

beanmachine59

Wendy's used to be my go to for fast food if there was one available. I could get a Biggie Bag for 5.00 and get a juicy double stack, some of the best fries and best nuggies in ff realm, for 5 bucks. Now, it's more expensive, and the quality of food is no longer there. I am not surprised by WEN struggling, you can't raise prices and cut corners on quality and expect customers to keep coming. They are the next BK.

Character-Win9342

Sure, definitely possible. Some scoring models are way more lenient on bankruptcy than others. If you had relatively positive credit pre-BK that could help a ton as well. Opening a credit card or two, keeping utilization low, and paying them on time each month is probably the best course of action to raise your score back up.

marcocom

Their breakfast menu is so good for the money and they use whole eggs and their biscuits don’t taste over-flavored like Dunkin’ Donuts or BK. I’m a fan!

brilliantminion

Not the person you’re replying to, but my thesis is that yes there will be some of these mega caps that will “win” in the end, as in, they have enough cash flow to buy out the AI startups that crash and burn, and they don’t BK themselves. I’m betting that we have some industry consolidation within the next couple of years given that companies like Google are basically run by ex-Mackenzie people, and that’s their whole MO.

coolest35

Eh found the oz Side story: visited recently and totally thought hungry jacks was a the Australian spin off of BK (it's not).

royofhollywood

the two wendys near me both cancelled breakfast service, which sucks because I actually liked their breakfast. Other than that, the food is pretty awful. I mean not as bad as BK or McDs, but it is all goyslop.

Neva1546

Bro the app is smooth imo. McDonald’s app acts like it was created 15 years ago while Wendy’s and BK app run smooth as butter, 16 pro user btw. Their meal deal is basically the biggie deals where u can get fries, nuggets, sandwich, drink for 6 bucks or 2 items for 4. Glad it seems you got a good location though because they’re definitely hit or miss.

Deep-Ad-3915

WEN meals better than MCD and BK don’t @ me

aero_r17

Maybe elsewhere in the world, but in Canada they're comfortably ahead of McDonalds and probably edge out BK by a decent amount Harvey's and A&W are the clear frontrunners here in my opinion

PhantomWonder

It’s their crap management… they have solid burgers and a choice menu. All the VP they pay and their BS stock options for nothing. It can make a rebound but they have to start paying employers more and get better management. Same thing as BK. That’s why they’re closing stores like crazy

gomper

BK dumpster is the true rock bottom

JasperPants1

Here in Canada only about 20% of all restaurants are making money. For all the reasons. Wendys and BK are not in a good place right now.

TruthAboutLife

If Wendy's suddenly placed a single patty burger on their menu that was a decent and kept the meal price under $10, they would create panic among the other 2. Look what M and BK did when Wendy's dropped their biggie bag ootiin. They had no choice but to follow suit.

bredenbuder

BK has made me shit my pants and or puke the limited times I have had it in my life. Maybe it varies by location but the Wendy's near me are pretty good if I do need a drive thru type option for food.

SnooPaintings5597

BK will win it all.

Ok-Net-7418

I ate at wendy's today before throwing $1000 into it. It was a solid B- berger. Better than McDs or BK. Close to culver's level.

mpbh

The shitty Wendy's burgers are currently slightly less shitty than McDonald's and BK currently are. This would be a trillion dollar play if not for Ozempic.

standgroundalready

Let it die. Same for McDs, BK, etc. We need better, healthier and cheaper options than what's on the menu in the American fast food marketplace.

NoNature6691

Tell OP this is Wendys not BK.. you can't have it your way.

gatovision

Wendys is honestly good for FF. imo a well run Wendys (some are neglected) is the best FF burger chain aside from In and Out. So much better than junk like McDs or BK. Also, 40% short interest.

zjz

I think BK is kinda underrated ngl. I was pretty happy with my last meal there. I think wendys is generally better than McDs/BK but I miss the days of dollar burgers and wendys fries are pretty inconsistent. A lot of the time you get soggy potato tubes.

rampagepete

hmm must be a BK guy

Human-Director-7850

Blasphemy everyone knows WEN has the greatest value pack for the money - burgers, fries and a blowey behind the dumpster. Can’t have that at BK, so bullish.

Admirable_Dust7749

Okay, I’ll give you that. You’re right, it’s not bottom tier. Middle tier with BK is fair.

mancala33

Dude they turned their back on us. Like $9 for a Dave's double. WTF. I'm going to short it too. BK Gang

PretendThisIsMyName

I cannot believe that the BK lounge has made such a comeback. They generally were the worst spot to get fast food at a certain point. Now Wendy’s, Mickey Ds, Hardees, etc has fallen way down. I just got 16 of the good old school crown nuggets, some jalepeno poppers, and a freezee for 12 bucks. And it was so good.

HedgeMoney

Super low profit, declining profit, killed by harvard MBA's, alienated core audience trying to copy McD's without the same brand power, losing its core appeal, and failed at their modernization, and the whole "dynamic pricing" leak accelerated their downfall. They used to be a cheaper option that was higher quality (IMO) than the other big 3 (BK, McD, Carl). When a company experiences consecutive years of declining profits since its peak in 2018, high debt to asset ratio, yeah its going to drop. It's not that they have debt. Its that the debt didn't bolster revenue and if anything, decreased it, and you also need to take into account increased interest rates in the future, because they are 100% going to have to extend that debt. There's no way they can magically make $2.7 billion (excluding interest), in 10 years, when their profits are expected to be less than $140 million this year. By all objective financial measures, Wendy's is in the red.

Unreachable1

Nah, McDonald’s is still decently cheap. BK has put some real effort into improving their food but it’s a bit more expensive. Wendy’s is both expensive and shit.

ilovehamburgers

BK Trio for $8 is the only luxury I haven in life right now…

Valkorion335786

BNY's former ticker was BK It was changed because people kept trying to buy Burger King stock and ended up bagholding bank shares

Half Shares half BK

The king bends Wendy over any day of the week! Way better fries at BK

mchratliff

Bring back the $3 Son of the Baconator deal or I'm taking my business to BK! Why eat like a read-headed stepchild when I can eat like a king!

SmashAtoms

The line was too long I had to settle for BK

DesignerSea494

I used to love the BK Whopper. Not it’s, “meh.” Good thing too, since it takes 2 hours of work to afford one.

Tercel9

Should never short on valuation alone. Need a scandal or real BK risk.

farsightxr20

I feel like they fell so far in just the last like, 5 years... it used to be better-than-average fast food, now it's at the very bottom. Had BK the other day and it was night-and-day better.

Babyfat101

With the high debt, Netflix knows they can buy lower in a year or 2, when PSKY goes BK.

Amazeballs69

Decided to make smash burgers at home so asked the wife to grab a large fry from BK on her way. I couldn't believe it when she told me it was $5.00!!! We had like 10 fries each.

conansucksdick

Buffet arb'd the McD ketchup and dropped deuces at BK. Grow up. 

Brutal_effigy

Dude, BK nuggies went from a $2 for 20 side to a whole effing $10 meal.

And Saylor goes BK

Gullible_Ad3785

lol regards don't know how to BK.

CrackheadBobsCousin

OTC is full of them, but I don't see companies lasting this long without going BK. The real interesting thing to me is positive revenues, especially this late in the game.

No-Concentrate9348

Seems like a BK kind of guy

sb88

How many of you guys bounced back after getting completely slaughtered? Like big losses. How you handle it mentally? Completely change your technique? got wrecked short past two months on this rip, dumb move, i know, had to close with massive losses and sold good longs to hold margin, all that could go wrong did. Not my first rodeo of getting wrecked, been through this before and bounced back, but because i dont learn, this time it is worse, im lucky im not BK at this point.

kanyedidnothingwr0ng

In N Out, unless you live in a shit hole state and have to get BK

SuperNewk

ORCL is an easy buy to 300. You literally think the poster child of the AI infrastructure build out is going BK before OpenAI /Anthropic IPO?

AngryTCG

Reality is China will take state control of Taiwan Semi and they will no longer be listed on the exchange. About the same thing as a company going BK. How's that for reality.

happy123z

We chilling outside bar in BK 🤗

Time to put on the McDonalds hat big dog. No BK crown for you.

I have seen some weird people in forums. When the internet started, we used to use our real name, I called a few up just to chat with them to see if they really believed what they posted. Like there were 5 people protesting about MCI in front of our headquarters in WashDC, the poster was thinking this would cause a big problem for the company. MCI was an SP500 company with 30 billion in annual revenue, we walked around the protestors and took pics because of how odd it was. Another poster was a stock broker using his wife's social account to push a penny stock. His wife's account because he would have gotten fired if anyone knew what he was doing. That company went BK. This was like 30 years ago, I still see that same alias on some stock boards, not reddit btw. One guy posted 4000 times in one year about some junk stock.

reddituser12346

When was the “new” Whopper introduced? I haven’t had BK in a while, and when I got a Whopper a month or two ago it was horrible. Not nearly as good as I remembered. A couple weeks later I got another thinking the first was a fluke, but the second one was bad too. Pretty disappointed if this is their improvement

NickSalacious

I had BK twice this week. Calls.

eamd59

They are under QSR, reasturant brands international. You get a few different company's with BK. Popeyes, Firehouse subs and Tim Hortons. Did this dude get a bad whopper or something.

acart005

They changed the recipe as I recall and for about 5 minutes it was actually really good. But those fries and even that incarnation of BK are long dead.  I miss the age of the King.  Those weird ass 360 games were peak.

fireinsaigon

i think the only burger spots there are BK, MCD and lotteria. maybe jollibee too. there's popeyes too

tristis_veritas

How did Wendy's dumpster become the meme? Instead of BK or Taco Bell or McDonald's dumpster? They actually have fresher and higher quality food, relatively speaking. Usually looks cleaner and less ghetto than a regular McDonald's too. Anyways, they are hurting: https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/20/wendys-taps-former-potbelly-ceo-bob-wright-to-lead-burger-chain.html

BK all day

ryman9000

BK fries fuck tho. So I can somewhat get behind that if the micky Ds line is long

SoCallMeDeaconBlues1

Bought just before they left BK. 1000 shares. Selling at 100 or 40, runner to 150 or 20. Wide moat, great product, great intellectual property, had shit management that is slightly less shitty now. Power semiconductors (and LED manufacturers) are their main customers. Look at Infineon, Renesas, ON semi, STMicro. Main uses are now in power, and it's needed in many EV applications as well as larger scale stuff. Should keep running.

SoCallMeDeaconBlues1

Bought a big bag right before they came out of BK. Looked a little iffy there for a bit but yeah glad I held too. Good product, good moat, good IP, new less screwed up management

Inevitable-Cow-616

Where’s GMoney? I lost 20k just at BK buying up the stock through the hype back then. I jumped the ship after a few rocky waves. I just don’t know enough to reinvest in Wolf anymore. I had bad luck

SuperNewk

We are crashing!!!!! MU is going BK?!?

EmbarrassedOrchid685

thats just the enshittifcation of everything in the US these days. Wendys in canada is as good as it ever was, still better than mcdicks, BK lounge catching up but need more locations.

zuukinifresh

Kind of obvious - McD, BK, Culvers, In n Out, Sonic, & Shake Shack all have better offerings at same or better rates. Plus idk why but Wendy’s employees are always scum of the Earth service wise

Waltslife

What is Blackberry? The old flip phone that they stopped making 20 years ago? I thought they went BK a long time ago??

Siriricu20

Buy some Wendy’s calls with my BK cashier salary

miss_L_fire

The only good deals at BK are at breakfast, partner and I got 2 sandwiches, 2 hash browns, and 2 French toast sticks for $15

redbulladdict01

Just because they gained a little customer sales back through the big arch doesn’t mean they have solved half their issues. With the removal of the soda machines they are certainly on the wrong side of customer approval. Lastly, have you been to a McDonald’s lately? Yikes. BK will be getting a large market share in my opinion this year.

NerdyBro07

Prices across the board for eating out just high. Doesn't matter if it's shake shack or a local burger joint, most places are charging $14 for a similar sized burger. I would rather spend $14 on a shake shack burger (which is just as good and sometimes better than local joints) than $6-8 on a crappy Mcdonalds/BK/Wendys/etc burger. That said, i think most people are just going to have to accept they are being priced out of eating out and cut back.

LordDarthShader

I used to work there, but not anymore. Take a look around r/LocalLLM; the latest Qwen models, like the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, are good enough for most tasks—including regular PowerShell/Python work and even web development. Given the rising cost of token usage, I bet most developers and small companies will eventually move toward running their own LLMs locally. This shift proves how Chinese developers are performing real optimizations to compete despite limited GPU resources, whereas Anthropic and OpenAI seem to be burning cash and brute-forcing progress with more hardware. GitHub Copilot recently shifted from $10/month to $40/month for a rate-limited plan, and plenty of people are turning away. It just shows that these massive LLMs are not truly cost-effective yet. Intel had a great opportunity with Falcon Shores, but they cancelled that, too. They screwed everything up with the ACT in 2017, firing expert personnel who held the "tribal knowledge" of manufacturing just so Brian Krzanich (BK) could show stock growth. It backfired 100%; 10nm failed, and everything started to crumble. Between the i9-14900K crashes and the poor performance of Arrow Lake, it’s clear that pre-silicon validation is still broken at Intel—and that is a problem you can’t fix by manipulating the stock price.

BK and CSCO have been two solid winners that haven’t got a lot of love over here.

kingofjingling

You really should do this lol. Maybe add QSR owner of Tim Hortons, BK, Popeyes, and firehouse subs. I got some Tim Hortons coffee in the middle of nowhere China a year or two back and that place was busy as fuck lol.

I just wish they hadn’t closed down so many.  They only have a couple left in our city and they’re not really convenient to get to when I would drive past a BK or Chik fila.
