WENDY'S CO's longtime shareholder Trian Fund Management has no plans to make a take-private bid for the fast-food chain at this time. The decision follows a surge in the company's stock price earlier in August after reports of a potential buyout preparation. The sudden reversal sent shares tumbling 14% in after-hours trading on Wednesday.
