Denny's Corp (NASDAQ:DENN)

Beaten down, insider buying (TSA).

Downward climb until mid-feb/march, then it'll swing up for 30% or so.

Company does appear to be on a turnaround and is paying down debt, and the hyper-patriotic rebranding in their new commercials (America's Diner, etc.) appears to be pretty effective. However, there's one problem: they have almost nowhere to grow, meaning that even at the current pace, paying down debt is going to be a painfully slow process. This stock may see significant gains in years to come if they manage to turn around their negative tangible book value and start making (and keeping) money, but this will be a laggard until then.

Love Denny's for short and longterm, they have done a lot to position themselves for the future.

Baby boomers and college students

Rebound of the American consumer.

This stock is cheap......maybe they can actually get their house in order this time for real.

Dennys value menu is great, and it is starting to become the college town hangout with its late operating hours

The company's franchise initiative combined with their continued efforts at service cheap meals in a down economy will ensure they make it through and grow ahead of the general economy.

I can afford to eat at Denny's..............but I don't.

Denny's has fantatic food at fantastic prices. My only complaint is a deterioration is their sites, but the one by me was remodeled last year. I have high hopes for Denny's.

new menu is attractive and priced to appeal to both freeway and local traffic

proxy fight, and one of the folks involved in both WEST and SNS (Jonathan Dash) is one of the three nominees to the board, and a significant shareholder. This may (and I stress may) be a replay of FRN and SNS.

I've decided to add 3, high beta, sub $4 stocks to my CAPs portfolio today. I wish I could say I did tons of due diligence and thorough research on each of these companies, but that would be a dirty lie. The truth is closer to chasing momentum and a gamble that the market will continue to rise for the short term future.

I chose Denny's as one of my 3 stocks because of the fond memories I have of eating grand slams for $1.99 in high school.... mmmmm Grand Slams.....

DENN is looking pretty good for a turnaround. Depending on who wins the current proxy war, this could be another SNS.

I bought 100 shares at $3.15 on 3/15/10.

DENN

Outperform

great food, cheap price to get in.

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.
