- Thursday, April 4, 1:31 PM Baskin Robbins faces a familiar foe in China with the Dairy Queen chain on an aggressive growth track in the nation and seeing early success. The Dunkin' Brands (DNKN +2.1%) unit says it hopes to follow the path of Dairy Queen by using master franchisees and refining its brand to local tastes. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, March 25, 2:30 PM Restaurant blues: The consensus estimate of economists for consumer spending growth in February is for a 0.6% gain after the measure rose 0.2% in January but don't expect restaurants to report strong numbers for Q1. Inside tracking and guidance warnings from key companies indicate that the sector is feeling the pressure of higher payroll taxes. Major chains also face a tough period of comparable with last year's winter much milder on average in the U.S. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, March 21, 9:29 AM Coffee watch: Coffee futures (chart) continue to drift lower this year. Though some relief for bagged coffee sellers on wholesale costs is already built into estimates, the margin boost could be even better than expected. A long-term trend to watch is demand in India where the emerging coffee scene could be a disrupter to pricing if sales soar. Coffee players: DNKN, SBUX, GMR, PEET, KRFT, SJM. Comment! [Consumer, Commodities]
- Tuesday, March 19, 12:24 PM No retail chain has more outlets than 7-Eleven and the convenience store operator is still growing. The company says it added 5K stores in 2012 and will hit 50K stores by the end of Q1. It's a pace of expansion which should draw the notice of quick-stop rivals Dunkin' Donuts (DNKN -0.2%), Starbucks (SBUX -1.2%), and McDonald's (MCD -0.2%). 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, March 12, 11:36 AM Heard during Dunkin' Brands' (DNKN -1.5%) presentation at the BofA Consumer & Retail Conference: 1) The NYC ban on soda would have had no impact on the company overall. 2) The company sees FY13 EPS $1.48-$1.51 vs. consensus $1.53 on revenue growth of 6% to 8%. 3) In the U.S., expect net unit development of 330 to 360 units and 450 to 500 remodels. 4) Look for a different restaurant mix, with 70% of new restaurants including a drive thru and ~2K outlets of the 24-hour variety. 5) On tech, a mobile app launched late last year improved speed of service and conversions on location-based offers. In 2013 a loyalty program will be introduced to the franchisee model. (webcast) Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, February 28, 10:40 AM Dunkin' Brands (DNKN +2.1%) adds support for Apple's Passbook app in a move designed to attract on-the-go customers. It's a smart play for many retailers to welcome Passbook integration, highlighted recently by Target when in noted during its earnings call (transcript) that Passbook compatibility helped boost mobile traffic and sales. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, February 22, 8:50 AM The restaurant sector is on watch after a pre-earnings warning from Darden Restaurants (DRI) and a harsh downgrade on Wendy's (WEN) sets a negative tone. The picture being painted for 2013 is starting to get pretty consistent - margin pain and soft traffic trends. Other things to watch in 2013 for the sector: 1) The impact of higher payroll taxes. 2) The coming costs of the Affordable Care Act. 3) The push to raise the minimum wage. 4) Which chains can succeed in China and India? 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 13, 10:14 AM Margin pain on the horizon: Restaurants could get squeezed this year from a combination of higher commodity costs and frugal consumers, according to AlixPartners. Though traffic is forecast to rise 3%, the average ticket is expected to decline 4.7% with coupons, promotions, and discounts gaining favor. Chains that are expected to ride out the expected tough environment are those that can deliver healthy food fast. Chipotle (CMG -1.8%), privately-held Subway, and Panera (PNRA -1.5%) fit the bill. 6 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, February 8, 12:44 PM Restaurant operators could take a hit from store closures this weekend with a major snowstorm expected to bring street traffic to a standstill over a wide area, according to Miller Tabak. Dunkin' Brands (DNKN +1.4%) could see a drop in traffic along with other East Coast-heavy chains such as Cheesecake Factory (CAKE -0.3%), Darden Restaurants (DRI -0.2%), and Panera Bread (PNRA +0.3%). Power outages lasting until next Valentine's Day when store traffic is expected to be high is a particular concern if widespread. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, February 8, 10:09 AM A massive snowstorm bearing down on New England is driving consumers in droves to stock up on supplies, according to regional reports. Sales could pick up at Walgreen (WAG +0.5%), Wal-Mart (WMT), Kroger (KR +0.4%), and Safeway (SWY +0.1%) as consumers overstock for the weekend blizzard. On the flip side, Dunkin' Brands (DNKN +1.2%) could see a dip in February traffic due to its high concentration in the Northeast. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, January 31, 9:38 AM Dunkin' Brands (DNKN +4.2%) opens up trading with a bang after its narrow EPS beat and reiterated profit guidance is just enough to keep sentiment positive. After its dividend hike, shares now trade with a juicier 2.1% yield. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, January 31, 6:53 AM Dunkin Brands Group Inc (DNKN) declares $0.19/share quarterly dividend, 27% increase from prior dividend of $0.15. Forward yield 2.12%. For shareholders of record Feb. 11. Payable Feb. 20. Ex-div date Feb. 07. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Thursday, January 31, 6:41 AM More on Dunkin' Brands (DNKN) Q4: Despite its increasing pace of adding stores, the company was still able to register a 3.2% gain in comparable store sales to outpace some of its peers. During the period, 149 new stores were added in the U.S. and 256 worldwide. A dividend increase to $0.19 per share is implemented. Targets for 2013 include new unit growth of 4.5% to 5% and an increase in revenue of 6% to 8%. 2013 EPS is forecast to fall in a range of $1.48 to $1.51. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Consumer]
- Thursday, January 31, 6:04 AM Dunkin Brands (DNKN): Q4 EPS of $0.34 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $161.7M (-4% Y/Y) misses by $9.05M. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings, Breaking News]

Michael Bryant: LOL! DNKN seems the better longterm play, but you may be able to make good money in KKD, which is riskier.
