Monday, December 17, 2012, 10:36 AM Shares of Caribou Coffee (CBOU +30%) soar right past $16 which marks the price Joh. A. Bencksier has on the table for the company. The cheerful rally is an indication that at least a few traders are speculating a higher offer could come down the pike. Though Caribou Coffee is the second largest coffee chain behind Starbucks and could add to its retail footprint, the early read on the deal from Starbucks (SBUX +1.6%) investors leans toward indifference.

Friday, November 16, 2012, 7:51 AM A coffee trade-down in play? With Wal-Mart (WMT) and J.M Smucker (SJM) both reporting strong K-Cup sales during Q3, retail analysts see the opening of the single-serve market playing out as expected. Although it's a sticky wicket trying to convince a Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) or Starbucks (SBUX) fan that consumers will flock to Folgers or Sam's Club coffee products, early results are promising. Keep an eye on pricing in the coffee market, with Caribou Coffee (CBOU) and Treehouse Foods (THS) trying to recover from recent K-Cup stumbles. 12 Comments [Consumer]

Will Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR -2.3%), Caribou Coffee (CBOU -6%), and Treehouse Foods (THS +0.8%) feel a pinch if Wal-Mart unleashes its pricing power on the K-cup market or will coffee house quality win out?
