Hot Wings Get Even Hotter

The following video is from Wednesday's Investor Beat, in which host Chris Hill and analysts Jason Moser and Matt Argersinger dissect the hardest-hitting investing stories of the day.

Second-quarter profits for Buffalo Wild Wings rose 41%. The restaurant company was helped by the fact that wholesale prices for chicken wings are down 15% from a year ago. In our lead story on InvestorBeat, Jason and Matt examine how CEO Sally Smith executed a challenging new pricing strategy and whether investors should be jumping into shares at the current price.

Also, our analysts look at four stocks that made big moves on Wednesday's market. SodaStream's second-quarter profit rose 36%. Consumer spending on MasterCard's credit and debit cards rose nearly 12%. Facebook briefly got back to its IPO price, while Herbalife has a new billionaire shareholder.


Finally, Jason and Matt each pick a stock they'll be watching very closely in the week ahead.
