Wednesday, May 8, 4:19 PM More on the Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) and Starbucks (SBUX) deal: The Seattle coffee giant will triple the number of products it offers for Keurig single cup brewers to blow up any vision that Starbucks was going to put Green Mountain Coffee Roasters out of business.

Wednesday, May 8, 4:13 PM More on Green Mountain Coffee Roasters' (GMCR) FQ2: Revenue gains were led by sales of single serve packs, up 21% Y/Y to $794M, to offset slipping sales of brewers and accessories. On a volume basis, single serve packs were up 26% but a shift in product mix took down sales a few notches. The company says it got a 290 bp lift from lower green coffee costs and also benefited from lower labor and overhead costs - which when put together helped drive the nice beat on the bottom line. FY13 EPS estimates raised to $3.05-$3.15 on sales growth estimates of 11% to 14%. GMCR still halted, but expect fireworks to go off shortly. (PR) 2 Comments [Consumer, Earnings]

Tuesday, April 30, 3:21 PM KeyBanc thinks a K-cup pricing war is still years away as the category continues to see strong growth trends and a favorable pricing atmosphere. The firm taps Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR +0.9%) as a good buy with shares set to go to $70. GMCR watch: For the most part, the bear thesis on the dire impact of Starbucks' Verismo machine and Kraft plus others emergence into the K-Cup market hasn't played out yet. 4 Comments [Consumer]
Monday, April 15, 3:27 PM Is Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR -4.4%) gaining enough market share to compensate for lower K-cup prices? That's the question that could be answered when the company reports earning on May 8 and also has importance in evaluating the next couple of quarters. Sector watch: The company - along with peers (KRFT, SJM, PEET, DNKN) - received a bit of a jolt when Starbucks dropped the pricing on its 12-ounce bagged coffee by a dollar to $8.99. 3 Comments [Consumer]
Thursday, April 11, 9:38 AM Longbow Research is out with a note to clients indicating demand for K-cup products is strong. The data point is good news for Dunkin' Brands (DNKN +0.1%), Starbucks (SBUX +0.2%) and Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR +0.7%) as the thesis that the K-cup market is big enough for multiple companies looks to be playing out. What to watch: A key trend is that fresh generic brands in the market are drawing new customers instead of taking away market share from the established sellers. 2 Comments [Consumer]
