NOODLES & Co: what insiders have been doing
NOODLES & Co, founded in 2005, is a Retail & Commerce company based in Broomfield, United States. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). Between 18 October 2025 and 18 October 2026, 5 insiders published 6 filings.
The filings describe grants, exercises and other transfers rather than trades on the open market. Such operations are usually part of compensation schedules, which makes them a weaker signal than an open-market trade.
Insider buying of NOODLES & Co has been absent for the past year. Typically, a trade is published a median of 3 days after it takes place. Section 16 rules allow two business days to file each Form 4.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 5,811 companies) published 19 filings over the same period, against 6 filings here. Looking back to 2016, when coverage begins, insiders filed 22 purchases and 7 sales. The 10-K for the year ended 30 December 2025 shows 495.1 m USD of revenue and -42.6 m USD of net income.
Other companies in the same sector with recent insider buying flagged by our signals: GameStop Corp. and Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.

About NOODLES & Co
Noodles & Company (NASDAQ: NDLS) is a United States-listed restaurant company focused on fast-casual noodle and pasta dishes, complemented by soups, salads, and appetizers. The business opened its first location in 1995 with a clear concept: to serve globally inspired recipes from multiple cuisines under one roof, prepared to order and positioned around freshness, convenience, and everyday value. Its corporate headquarters is in Broomfield, Colorado, United States.
From an equity-investor perspective, Noodles & Company sits in the middle of the restaurant value chain: it is not a pure quick-service burger operator, nor a full-service casual dining group. Instead, it targets consumers looking for a differentiated, customizable meal with better variety than many standard fast-food menus. The company operates as a single reportable segment and combines company-owned and franchised restaurants. As of December 31, 2024, it reported 463 restaurants across 31 states, including 371 company-owned units and 92 franchise locations. In an earlier SEC filing dated October 1, 2024, it reported 471 systemwide restaurants, indicating a modestly changing footprint. The footprint is essentially domestic, with all meaningful exposure concentrated in the United States.

Noodles & Company’s competitive position is built on brand differentiation rather than scale leadership. It competes in a crowded fast-casual market against broader concepts with larger advertising budgets and more diversified menus. Its relative strengths are its globally inspired menu, made-to-order preparation, digital ordering channels, third-party delivery access, and the fact that noodle-based dishes tend to travel well for off-premise consumption. Management has also highlighted menu variety and convenience as important business strengths.
Recent developments suggest a company still in turnaround mode. Noodles & Company completed a 1-for-8 reverse stock split effective February 18, 2026, a move often associated with maintaining exchange compliance and supporting the share price profile. The company’s recent SEC filings also discuss a strategic review, restaurant closures for underperforming units, and continued pressure from commodity inflation, packaging costs, labor, and financing conditions. For investors, NDLS remains a U.S. NASDAQ-listed recovery story: a niche fast-casual brand with a recognizable concept, but one that still needs disciplined execution, portfolio optimization, and stable same-store sales momentum to strengthen its investment case.
