- | On the move
- Thursday, April 25, 12:40 PM More on Dunkin Brands' (DNKN +3.1%) Q1: Comps growth came in at 1.7% overall driven by larger guest checks as customers bought more units per sale. Baskin-Robbins saw negative U.S. comps during the period however as the ice cream seller's same store sales faced a particularly tough compare with the unseasonably warm 2012 Q1. A refinancing charge also weighed on results. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
- 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]
-
Wednesday, December 5, 2012, 5:30 PM
After-hours top gainers, as of 5:15 p.m.: UEPS +6.9%. GRMN +4.5%. MAS +3.9%. CTRP +3.7%. DKS +2.3%.
After-hours top losers: MW -10.0%. VRA -8.0%. ALGN -4.4%. DNKN -3.4%. ICON -2.9%. Comment! [On the Move] - Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 9:09 AM The restaurant sector is on watch after a profit warning from Darden Restaurants points to weakness, not in Europe or China, but at home in the U.S. While increased promotional activity in the sector is behind part of the slip from Darden, the bigger question is why are sales so weak for big players if consumer confidence is supposedly bouncing back? 12 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 31, 2012, 11:25 AM Fast-food restaurant operators such as Dunkin' Brands (DNKN +0.6%), Chipotle (CMG +0.1%), and McDonald's (MCD -0.1%)) could ride out Hurricane Sandy a bit better than some of the forecasts calling for a significant drop in Q4 sales, according to analysis from Miller Tabak. Lost revenue from the past week in affected areas could be offset by evacuation route stores picking up extra traffic and relief workers coming in with few dining options. Names to watch: Ruby Tuesday (RT +1.4%) with close to 44% of its outlets in the hurricane zone, Brinker International (EAT -1.2%) at 32.6%, Panera Bread (PNRA -1.6%) with 32.6%, and Cheesecake Factor (CAKE +0.3%) sitting at 28.2%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, October 25, 2012, 8:05 AM Dunkin' Brands (DNKN) issues solid numbers for Q3 (I,II) as it was able to cut costs faster than the pace of growth slowed, but trips up some analysts by trimming its outlook for 2012 revenue to a rise of 6% to 7% from a prior range of 7% to 8%. Shares +3.1% premarket as traders focus on profits over the growth track. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- 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, 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]
- 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]
- Monday, July 23, 2012, 9:06 AM Peet's Coffee (PEET) is being acquired by German holding company Joh A. Benckiser for $73.50/share in cash, or $1B. The price represents a 28.6% premium to Peet's Friday close. Shares are halted. SBUX -3.1%, lower with the market. GMCR +5.4%. JVA +16.4%. DNKN could also be volatile. 8 Comments [Consumer, On the Move, M&A, Breaking News]
- Friday, July 20, 2012, 10:06 AM In addition to Whole Foods, many fast-food, restaurant, and coffee chains are falling due to Chipotle's (CMG -22.4%) revenue miss and soft guidance, with upscale names particularly in the crosshairs. PNRA -4.5%. SBUX -3.2%. BWLD -5.5%. BJRI -4.9%. DNKN -3.5%. YUM -2.8%. TXRH -3.3%. Chipotle has been seen as best-of-breed in the fast-food space (and valued accordingly): it's little surprise a top-line miss and comments about slowing traffic growth are raising alarm bells. 13 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 9:23 AM Shares of Dunkin' Brands (DNKN) fall 2.5% premarket after JPMorgan calls valuation "fair" and takes its rating down to Neutral on the name. In comparison to other high-growth restaurant stocks such as Starbucks, Chipotle, and Yum Brands that have been clipped by 10%-15% from their recent highs - Dunkin' Brands trades just 4% off of its own high. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, July 16, 2012, 12:40 PM Shares of Dunkin' Brands (DNKN +3.8%) run higher after Piper Jaffray's recent upgrade to an Overweight rating looks a little more impressive after it takes down other restaurant chains. A common thread from DNKN bulls is that the headline P-E ratio looks pricey mainly due to one-time expenses the company will outlive, but is justifiable given the large growth track the company remains on. 3 Comments [On the Move, Consumer]
- Monday, June 18, 2012, 1:08 PM Execs with Dunkin' Brands ([[DNKN) +3.4%) are on the stage at the Jefferies Global Consumer Conference (webcast) pitching the case that the coffee market has enough room for McDonald's, Starbucks, and itself. On the margin front, lower coffee commodity costs should kick in later this year as the company renews contracts. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 7:52 AM Argus upgrades Dunkin' Brands (DNKN) to Buy from Hold as it hones in on the company's prospects to see strong domestic and international growth. Analysts also forecast that DNKN will reap benefits from its franchise model. Shares +1.4% premarket. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]

Tom Guttenberger: This has materialized nicely. I noticed rising IV today on OK volume, and that IV it could even be due for another doubling in my opinion.
