| DON'T BUY | 63.900 | David Taylor, MBA, CFA | Spinning off Tim Hortons (THI-T) and their stock will drop by the appropriate amount. It's burger business is grossly overpriced. | 2006-09-12 | |
| DON'T BUY | 63.370 | Ian Nakamoto | Will distribute its Tim Hortons (THI-T) stock through a special dividend. They are in the middle of a restructuring so wouldn't buy. Competition from McDonald's has grown very strong. | 2006-09-11 | |
| HOLD | 63.230 | Peter Hodson | If you own, it is still worth holding just to get your incremental shares on Tim Hortons (THI-T). Once this happens, sell the stock and keep Tim Hortons. Still being recognised is a value play. | 2006-08-28 | |
| HOLD | 61.700 | Norman Levine | If Canadian and own this outside of an RRSP, the spin off of Tim Hortons (THI-T) will be treated as a capital gain and is taxable. The stock is doing OK. | 2006-08-22 | |
| WEAK BUY | 59.300 | Gavin Graham | Will be distributing 82% of Tim Hortons by the end of this year. Will also be spinning out a Mexican restaurant chain. If you buy, you will end up with both of these plus the so-so burger chain of Wendy's which you can sell off. | 2006-07-06 | |
| BUY | 61.070 | David Burrows | Fast-food restaurants have been doing quite well. This stock has been acting very well. There had been a build up prior to the issue of Tim Horton's spin off. Expect things got a little ahead of themselves. Expect you can't go too far wrong with this one. | 2006-04-10 | |
| DON'T BUY | 65.010 | David Burrows | The share price has done tremendously well over the last few months. There has been a lot of excitement about the Tim Horton IPO and their holding back 15% to pay out in the form of dividends to their shareholders. The stock is probably ahead of itself and a little bit emotional at this point. | 2006-03-23 | |
| BUY | 58.150 | David Driscoll | Having an IPO. The company is too large to do an ipo in order to grow, so normally you wouldn't want to invest in an IPO. However Wendy's/Tim Hortons will probably be very popular because everyone knows it, so if you can get it at the initial offering value, it might go up just because of the name. "Be disciplined, it could take off in the first few days of trading." | 2006-02-24 | |
| DON'T BUY | 56.270 | Norman Levine | Outside of Tim Horton's Wendy's has been a disappointment. The stock has been bid up from $40 to nearer $60 is because of Tim Horton's. Easy money has been made. | 2006-02-13 | |
| Comment | 55.730 | Michael Sprung | If the spin-off of Tim Horton's riches anywhere close to the valuation they are talking about, this company will benefit. It will go a long way to shore up their operations. | 2006-01-06 | |
| DON'T BUY | 47.330 | Rob Callander | Profits are down substantially and they are having a bad year. There will be an IPO on their Tim Horton holdings. Not sure buying this stock in order to get some Tim Hortons is a good idea. | 2005-10-05 | |
| DON'T BUY | 44.820 | Norman Levine | Would not buy this to get Tim Horton stocks as you don't know how it's going to be valued when they do spin it off. Just lost their COO. Sales growth has been negative. | 2005-09-20 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 47.140 | Brad Willock | There is a risk right now of the stock dropping due to the hurricane. In the next week or two, this might not be a bad buy. Typically it's 5/10 days after a hurricane that these types of stocks are a good buy. | 2005-08-31 | |
| DON'T BUY | 44.890 | Brian Acker, CA | Caller: Heard that 15% is owned by a couple of hedge funds that are going to pressure the company to turn Tim Horton's into an income trust. Brian: Wendy's has always looked good to him. If you are buying on fundamentals or mis-pricing, it's not. Model price is $44.42. | 2005-05-05 | |
| HOLD | 34.690 | Norman Levine | From the quality point of view, Wendy's is probably the best in the group. They are executing very well considering low cal in the products. Keep the stocks. | 2004-08-27 | |
| BUY | 35.020 | Glenn Paradis, BA, CFA | Very well run. Should hold. Healthier food, which brings more families. | 2004-08-26 | |
| BUY | 33.810 | David Baskin | They got a terrific buy when they bought Tim Hortins which has driven the earnings pretty well. Has done a good job modernizing its menu. Still feels McDonald's is the better of the two. | 2004-08-17 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 32.900 | Brad Willock | Prefers over McDonald's. Generates more cash flow and better returns and has more growth, especially with the Tim Horton's franchise. At this price, will be looking at it. Could drop a little bit more. | 2004-08-13 | |
| DON'T BUY | 36.880 | Benj Gallander | Doesn't buy stocks that are over $25 so would have to drop further. | 2004-07-16 | |
| BUY | 36.090 | Brian Acker, CA | This stock looks very attractive at this price. | 2004-06-03 | |
| DON'T BUY | 36.210 | David Baskin | McDonald's has come out with a new menu and new marketing approach and have swept all before them. Need a bit of pizzazz in their marketing. | 2004-06-02 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 38.770 | Matt Barasch | (A top pick Aug 22/03. Up 22.5%.) Still likes. Have some good, new products. Would consider again at $35. | 2004-02-19 | |
| BUY | 38.550 | John Sinkins, CFA | Mad cow is an issue but this did not affect the stock much. Good price. | 2003-12-29 | |

| WEAK BUY | 29.500 | David Baskin | Making money on the Tim Horton side, but is static on the hamburger side. A slow grower at about 5/8% over the long term. | 2003-07-08 | |
| BUY | 29.700 | Paul O'Neil | McDonald's have to get their act together. Likes at this price. | 2003-06-20 | |
| BUY | 27.200 | Brian Acker, CA | Offers value but the only growth will be in the earnings. | 2003-04-07 | |
| BUY | 27.260 | Jeff Morrison | Great balance sheet. Good growth prospects. | 2002-12-27 | |
| BUY | 27.260 | Brian Acker, CA | Fundamentals are good. | 2002-12-27 | |
