Wendy’s and Two Other Stocks Poised for a 2026 Rebound, Analysts Say
Several undervalued stocks are drawing attention as potential comeback candidates in 2026. Analysts at Evercore ISI have highlighted Wendy's, Verizon Communications, and VICI Properties as companies trading below their perceived worth. Each faces unique challenges but offers strong dividend yields and possible growth opportunities.
Wendy's has seen its share price drop by 50% over the past year. Declining revenue and rising costs have weighed on performance, pushing the stock to trade at under 10 times forward earnings. Despite this, the company maintains a forward dividend yield of 6.5%. Evercore ISI suggests a rebound could arrive by 2026, driven by improved consumer confidence from tax cuts and refunds.
All three companies now offer high dividend yields alongside discounted valuations. Wendy's turnaround efforts, Verizon's restructuring, and VICI's real estate exposure could shape their performance in the coming years. Analysts will be monitoring whether these factors translate into sustained share price gains.
