Denny's Corp (DENN)

Good long term play. Needs a recovery to start doing well.

Denny,s is on way up. Even though it dissappointed the street with same store sales. It owns alot of the stores and land they sit on. Has a great marketing model and is tranisting well even in the tough times and less ppl dining out. I think Denny"s hits 3.25 by mid Q1 and hits 4 by begining Q3 of 2010

outperform. Dennys office great value for the breakfast crowd. new maketing strategy to entice the late night crowds

Denny's apparently has been going through a turnaround for the past 10 years. If any of you follows football, you might hear of the Lions "rebuilding since 1958." I do not mean to rub this on Denny's face, but its record is dismal.

I have not seriously investigate the company yet, but by looking at the data and ratio on msn money I am convinced to not invest in this stock in the near future.

The company has had negative equity for the past 10 years. Therefore, it has to make up the difference in cash by debt financing. As a result, the company has a negative book value. The company also has an inconsistent record on net income,. Net Income Margin hovers around -4% - 2%. Price to sales looks decent, but the company just isn't making money at all.

On a more macro level, the company is in a sector that is hard hit in this recession. More contraction will take place before there is a turnaround. Denny's also doesn't have a competitive advantage against its competitors. Consumers can always switch to McDonald's or... well.. Kelloggs or Kraft (aka eating at home). Denny's has to do better in cost cutting in this downturn.

Changing some of their stores to franshise owned would make them quick cash for growth, and reshaping themselves to serve good breakfast really cheap 24 hrs a day.

stock has taken a beating over the last few years. Betting things will be better over the short term.

looking for some good news

These places are nasty. The food is nasty. Even Waffle House is better

As with all my picks: A very attractive P/E, excellent EPS growth rate and high five year growth prospects.

You have to be careful with Denny's. At $3 or so it's definitely a bargain, but once it inches past the $3 mark it seems to get slammed again. Look for this one to outperform the S&P, but in a little while.

Disclosure: No monetary interest in Denny's whatsoever.

Grand Slam!

excellent restaurant if you want a true 50's southern experience.

special patrons have a specially reserved waiting room, for a true nostalgic experience,

the wait in the special waiting room is just one hour, as not to inconvenience the eating experience of other patrons

if you want a true eating experience go to one of those buffet places, where people of all colors and sizes are treated equally

High fuel prices will affect road travelers budgets, keeping many at home and those who do travel may choose lighter and cheaper dining.

Most menu choices are not appealing to health conscious diners.

Take the family to breakfast for 20 bucks. McDonald's would cost the same. Which would you prefer?

Even in recession people want to treat to dinner, this is a cheap alternative greasy spoon, American fare! headed to $8 by 2010

I'm ordering off the menu at these levels!

I think Denny's will really start to take off, they are on the right track now and I feel they are getting serious about the business again.

Don't try to time the market. But i just can't resist picking up a stock on sale at a fire-sale price. "I will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful."- lecturing to a group of students at Columbia U. He was 21 years old.
I like this stock a lot. WIll grow to be great.
