Monday, April 29, 2:27 PM McDonald's (MCD +1.5%) and Dunkin' Donuts (DNKN +0.4%) are leading a pack of restaurant chains that are extending hours of operation in order to help pump up revenue. In some cases, the plan is pitting some companies against their own franchisees that are somewhat convinced the wee midnight to early breakfast hours aren't unprofitable. Analysts say it depends on the brand. What works for Taco Bell, Denny's, or White Castle might not work for the sector as a whole. 4 Comments [Consumer]
Friday, April 26, 10:25 AM Denny's (DENN -0.5%) says it accidentally disclosed in a SEC filing that Q1 same-store sales fell 0.7%. Full results for the quarter are to be released on April 30. (8-K) Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, April 25, 8:17 AM Denny's (DENN) sets up a new $250M credit facility which will have interest rates determined by the leverage ratios the company is able to achieve. In addition, Denny's approved a new buyback program of 10M shares. DENN +3.0% premarket. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Friday, April 12, 9:51 AM Restaurant sales trends improved in March but remain "fragile," according to a new report from Black Box Intelligence. The sector saw a same-store sales increase of 0.5% during the month compared to February’s decline of 5% - while traffic decreased 2% compared to a 4.2% drop in February. Comment! [Consumer]
Wednesday, April 10, 2:17 PM Restaurant visits by parties of adults grew by 1% last year to end four consecutive declines in the category but visits with children in tow showed flat growth once again, according to tracking from the NPD Group. A tripping point for the sector has been the lack of growth in visits by parties with kids. What to watch: Analysts see increased promotional activity sneaking in on the industry's margins. 5 Comments [Consumer]
Monday, March 11, 9:12 AM Denny's (DENN) says it canceled a deal to develop franchise restaurants with Great China International Group in southern China. The company reiterated full year 2013 guidance calling for 40 to 45 new restaurant openings during the year. DENN -1.9% premarket. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Wednesday, February 20, 5:10 PM Denny's (DENN): Q4 EPS of $0.07 in-line. Revenue of $116M beats by $3.2M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 4:48 PM Denny's (DENN): Q3 EPS of $0.06 misses by $0.03. Revenue of $120.9M in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
Tuesday, July 31, 2012, 6:10 PM Denny's (DENN): Q2 EPS of $0.05 may not be comparable to consensus of $0.07. Revenue of $124.7M (-8.2% Y/Y) in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
Friday, May 18, 2012, 11:30 AM Denny's (DENN -0.6%) authorizes 6M shares to its buyback plan, which will add to the 1.6M shares still remaining in its current repurchase program. Comment! [Consumer]
Monday, April 30, 2012, 4:40 PM Denny's (DENN): Q1 $0.06 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $127M (-5% Y/Y) misses by $1M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Consumer]
Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 5:21 PM Denny's (DENN): Q4 EPS of $0.94 may not be comparable to consensus of $0.08. Revenue of $130.2M (-4.2% Y/Y) in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
Tuesday, December 13, 2011, 10:54 AM Denny's (DENN +4.3%) shares rally after CEO John Miller discloses purchasing 100,000 shares of his company's stock, or $339,010 worth, on Dec. 9, according to an SEC filing, after having owned almost no company stock previously. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]

New MFI stock Denny's $DENN. Not too sure America's diner belongs in the screen, but they did post a nice Q1. Weak balance sheet.
