The spike in Wendy's stock price scared off one bullish Wall Street firm.
Stifel analyst Chris O'Cull downgraded the restaurant stock to hold from buy, saying in a note to clients on Wednesday that the Reddit-fueled surge overtook the fundamental upside for the company.
The stock rose roughly 26% on Tuesday to close at nearly $29 per share. Stifel has a price target of $25 on Wendy's.
