My love for hot wings was one of the reasons I bought shares of Wingstop (NASDAQ: WING) However, I recently sold my shares of the fast-growing restaurant operator. The main reason was its very spicy valuation Too hot to handle Wingstop trades at an extremely high valuation multiple compared to other restaurant stocks As that chart shows, it trades more than 100 times its forward PE ratio and free cash flow. That's more than double the valuation of Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) , a spicy burrito among restaurant stocks. Wingstop is even more highly valued than some of the priciest tech stocks, which have helped push the Nasdaq 100 's forward PE ratio close to 29 times. On the one hand, Wingstop should trade at a premium valuation because it's growing briskly. Here's a look at how it compares to some top restaurant stocks over the past year: Restaurant Stock Same-Store Sales Growth Revenue Growth Adjusted Earnings-Per-Share Growth Wingstop Chipotle Domino's
