Twin Hospitality Group Inc.

Twin Peaks/Smokey Bones franchisor (ticker carries a 'Q') with negative equity, heavy securitization debt, and large negative free cash flow.

Strengths

• Strong revenue growth +53% (91st pct) and system-wide sales scale

• Net margin -13.6% (15th pct); FAT Brands controls ~98.6% of voting power
