- 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]
- Friday, March 15, 11:22 AM Krispy Kreme (KKD -6.9%) trades lower after reporting largely in-line Q4 results and issuing soft guidance During the company's earnings call, execs were very vocal that the current quarter is going well.

- 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]
- Tuesday, January 22, 9:18 AM Shares of Krispy Kreme (KKD) gain 4.2% in premarket action after Jim Cramer gave the stock exposure on the Friday edition of Mad Money.

Cramer points out that even with a recent run in share price, Krispy Kreme trades with a lighter earnings multiple than Dunkin' Brands and is growing earnings faster. 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, January 17, 9:19 AM Heard during Krispy Kreme Doughnuts' (KKD) presentation at the ICR XChange Conference: 1) The firm's growth plan includes picking up the pace of expansion in the U.S. and building on momentum globally with a goal to reach an international store count of 900 by FY17. 2) Same-store sales of 6.8% expected by Q3 of FY13, repping the company's highest level in over four years. 3) Execs note that Q4 FY12 comparable-store sales were strong through week 10. (webcast) Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, January 15, 8:02 AM Krispy Kreme (KKD) adopts a tax asset protection plan which it say will limit the likelihood of "unintended ownership change" under IRS rules. Under the plan, the company's net operating loss and other carryforwards could be limited for shareholders piling up more than 5% of the company's stock. (Previous: KKD on a tear in 2013) Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, January 15, 7:03 AM Krispy Kreme (KKD) catches a lot of attention from investors with shares up a brisk 26% YTD driven by enthusiasm over strong sales and takeover chatter.

- Friday, January 4, 12:50 PM Krispy Kreme's (KKD +8.9%) hot start to 2013 has helped drive its stock price to its highest level since 2007. After expanding too fast in its infancy, the company has been turning around its prospects with a more moderated growth track. Longbow is in for the long haul, coming in today with a Buy rating and $15 price target. 1 Comment [Consumer]

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (KKD) have different donuts than Dunkin Donuts (DNKN), so some people may prefer KKD over DNKN. - View all 4 replies

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