- Thursday, October 11, 2012, 8:06 AM Quick service restaurants continue to play catch-up with leaders Chipotle (CMG) and Panera Bread (PNRA) as they try to subtly shift from "fast food" to "fast casual" and steal customers from sit-down alternatives. After McDonald's (MCD) set the bar high with premium coffee, smoothies, and reworked restaurants with HD TVs - nearly every chain has set in motion a modernization plan of its own. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, October 4, 2012, 10:52 AM The potential entry of McDonald's into the bagged coffee game throws an unexpected wildcard into the mix with the space already crowded by the likes of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR -0.8%), Starbucks (SBUX -1.1%), Kraft Foods Group (KRFT +3.1%), and Dunkin' Brands (DNKN +0.1%) to name a few. Though the competition is heated, there could be enough cups of Joe to go around as even a tiny sliver of the huge market can lead to significant profits for any of the major players. Coffee market breakdown: The $10B industry percolates at a 5% growth clip per year with a profit margin close to 30%. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, October 4, 2012, 6:27 AM McDonald's (MCD) files a trademark with the USPTO to use its name for ground and whole-bean coffee products in a move that could signal a plan to sell bagged coffee. The company's McCafe menu has been wildly successful and now contributes more than 6% to total sales. If bagged coffee is in the offing for McDonald's, Dunkin' Brands (DNKN) might need to perk up. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, October 2, 2012, 12:54 PM Dunkin' Brands (DNKN -0.3%) CEO Nigel Travis weighs in on the K-Cup market at the Wells Fargo Securities Retail & Restaurants Summit, maintaining a positive outlook despite the increasingly crowded space. The exec sees positive growth for K-Cups with sales at Baskin Robbins locations contributing to the mix. (webcast) 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Tuesday, September 25, 2012, 8:16 AM The National Restaurant Association says it will join the growing opposition to the proposed $7.2B settlement between retailers and credit card companies. The trade group maintains that the proposed agreement would allow swipe fees to rise unchecked to eventually dwarf the compensation offered. The issue isn't likely to be resolved this year with a New York judge still needing to rule on it. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, September 24, 2012, 10:04 AM Dunkin' Brands (DNKN -2.3%) trades lower after ITG Research estimates Q3 revenue for the firm will fall $3M short of estimates. Shares briefly dipped below $30, marking the first time in two weeks they dipped below that level. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, September 21, 2012, 2:55 PM Dunkin' Brands (DNKN +1%) plans to close 21 of its stores in Pakistan as a precautionary measure, according to a Bloomberg report. The company is in only 32 nations so it may have been a bit of curiosity to some investors that Pakistan was even on the list. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, September 10, 2012, 1:46 PM As restaurant chains such as Dunkin' Brands (DNKN -0.1%), Yum Brands (YUM +1.0%), and Krispy Kreme (KKD 0.0%) prepare to ramp up growth in India, rival McDonald's (MCD +0.4%) could stumble out of the starting gate. A meatless menu in the nation is almost critical due to the Hindu and Muslim population, leaving McDonald's a target of protest groups despite revamping its lineup of food offerings to cater to local tastes. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Friday, August 31, 2012, 1:26 PM A performance index tracked by the National Restaurant Association fell to its lowest level in nine months, with a reading of 100.2 for July down 1.1% M/M. Sagging optimism over future business dampened the effect of brisk same-store sales, as only 22% of restaurant operators expect economic conditions to improve in the next six months. The outlook for capital spending in the sector remained relatively stable. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, August 14, 2012, 2:40 PM Restaurant visit growth slumped to a 1% gain over the spring quarter, according to research firm NPD. Though the quick-service restaurant segment registered 2% growth for the period, both the midscale and casual dining segments saw fewer visits over the past year. Diners did spend a bit more per visit, with the average check going up 2%. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, August 14, 2012, 10:02 AM Dunkin' Donuts (DNKN +0.4%) recruits franchisees for new markets west of the Mississippi River, as a grand scheme to double its location by 2020 starts to take shape. The company has stuck with an aggressive expansion plan that aims squarely at Starbucks' coast-to-coast retail coffee dominance, despite seeing growth decelerate in established strongholds on the East Coast. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Friday, August 10, 2012, 1:08 PM Jennison Associates boosted its stake in Dunkin Brands (DNKN -1.6%) to 10.08%, adding close to 2.38M shares during Q2 according to a filing with the SEC. (13G) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, August 10, 2012, 7:28 AM Summer discounts are back at restaurants after a recent cooling off period at major chains. McDonald's (MCD), Chipotle (CMG), and Starbucks (SBUX) are just a few of the growing number of companies that say they will focus on value to make up for recent sales slumps. Analysts warn that when industry leaders starts upping their discounts and deals, it puts a "world of hurt" on the entire industry. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, August 9, 2012, 5:04 PM Dunkin' Brands (DNKN) -1.8% AH after announcing insiders will sell 21M shares (more than 1/6 of outstanding shares) through a secondary offering, and that the company will buy back another 15M shares from insiders. It looks as if the coffee chain's P-E investors are cashing out. (PR) 4 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, July 27, 2012, 10:33 AM Starbucks (SBUX -11.7%) continues to get roasted after missing FQ3 estimates, guiding FQ4 and FY13 forecasts lower, and making downbeat comments on its earnings call about U.S. traffic (slowdown in June), EMEA demand (flat same-store sales), and K-Cup margins. Baird is downgrading Starbucks to Neutral, but Deutsche thinks accelerating unit growth, ongoing same-store sales growth, and lower commodity prices spell a buying opportunity. GMCR -1.3%. DNKN -1.3%. JVA -1.8%. 7 Comments [Consumer, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, July 26, 2012, 6:22 AM Dunkin Brands (DNKN): Q2 EPS of $0.33 in-line. Revenue of $172.4M (+9.8% Y/Y) beats by $2.3M. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings]
