Friday, May 17, 12:26 PM Cosi (COSI -13.7%) takes a double-digit dive after its Q1 report misses by what might fairly be called a "wide margin". Revenues fall 13% Y/Y due to store closures and lower comps. Comps breakdown: -6.6% and -1.3% for company-owned restaurants and franchise-operated locations respectively. From the CC: "Dinner [is] where we took the greatest [comp percent] hit." Summing it up is CEO Carin Stutz: "Q1 results were unacceptable … [if] profitable sales [are] the measure of our success … we have not succeeded." Northland Capital rubs a little salt in the wound, downgrading the shares to Market Perform from Outperform (see analyst Chris Krueger's Q&A on the CC). 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
