The debt-to-equity ratio for Wingstop Inc is not provided in the financial data across multiple reporting periods from March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024. The absence of this ratio makes it challenging to assess the company's leverage position and its reliance on debt financing relative to shareholder equity over time. Typically, a lower debt-to-equity ratio indicates lower financial risk and a more conservative capital structure, while a higher ratio may suggest higher risk and potential financial leverage.

Without the specific values of the debt-to-equity ratio, it is difficult to evaluate Wingstop's long-term debt management strategy, financial health, and the extent of its leveraging activities. Analysts and investors often rely on this ratio to gain insight into a company's financial stability, growth prospects, and overall risk profile. Consequently, the lack of this key financial metric limits a comprehensive assessment of Wingstop Inc's capital structure and financial risk profile based on the provided data. It is advisable for the company to disclose this ratio in future financial reports to provide stakeholders with a more complete picture of its financial position.
