Wendy'S Co
A quick-service hamburger chain that runs and franchises thousands of restaurants worldwide, known for its made-to-order square burgers made from fresh beef, the Frosty dessert, and a breakfast menu. Founder Dave Thomas opened the first Wendy's in Columbus, Ohio, in 1969 and named it after his daughter Melinda, whose childhood nickname was Wendy. The square patties famously "don't cut corners" — the corners poke out from the round bun so customers can see the fresh beef.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last 5 years: -40.19M shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
