I have been researching inspire brands for some time but I am unsure if they are publicly traded or remain private.
I found conflicting information and it has left me confused. Does anyone know their current status?
I want to determine if I should monitor them for future trades.
Inspire Brands is a private company controlled by Roark Capital Group. They are not publicly traded. Even though they own well-known chains like Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Dunkin’, there is no concrete information about them going public.
It is wise to follow financial news for any updates on potential IPOs. Currently, exploring other options in the restaurant sector may be more beneficial.
Private company. Roark Capital owns them since 2018.
• No public shares available
• No IPO timeline confirmed
• Revenue exceeds $30 billion annually
Monitor restaurant ETFs instead for sector exposure.
Yeah they’re still private under Roark Capital. No IPO plans announced yet.
Correct, Inspire Brands remains private and cannot be traded publicly. Since Roark Capital owns them, buying shares directly is not an option.
Instead of wasting time on this, look for real opportunities in the restaurant sector like YUM, MCD, or QSR for exposure to similar companies.
Private equity firms like Roark might hold onto companies for several years before selling, but that does not guarantee an IPO. They could also sell to another private party.
Still private after all these years. I made that mistake once thinking I could trade private companies when I was new.
Spent hours researching a company only to find out it wasn’t even listed. Lost valuable time I could have used finding real opportunities.
Better to focus on what you can actually buy and sell.
