Analysis

Wendy's at C=50, B=70, sentiment -0.20 with 25.66% stock surge (rank #237) proves Twitter memes can't replace business fundamentals. The cultural relevance is real (C=50); the stock gain is real (25.66%). But negative sentiment reveals the brand is extracting value from communities that don't respect it. Short-term strategy.
