Nelson Peltz's Trian Fund Management is assembling a group of investors, including BlueFive Capital and Flynn Group, to make a take-private bid for fast-food chain Wendy's. The move comes as Wendy's faces industry-wide challenges, including declining sales and the withdrawal of its 2026 forecast. Peltz, a major Wendy's shareholder with a 16.24% stake, had explored a takeover last year. The consortium may submit a bid soon, and Wendy's has stated it will carefully review any proposals in line with its fiduciary duties.
