Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (KKD)

The price is down. Short selling should end soon. Profitability is improving. Rumers of a Wendys take over. It may jump well over $4 per share by Christmas.

Great brand. Love the donuts. Won't make the same mistake twice.

Okay. You can speculate here. But keep it on a short leash.

Krispy Kreme is yummy and they're expanding in to new territory. They'll be pulling in more and more profits as the economy sweetens up a bit.

Learned financial lessons from past failures; improving per-store/distribution cost structure. Expanding in countries where donuts are appreciated. Superior product. Publicity through charitable events.

KKD is a ship that's slowly starting to right itself. It could still hit rough waters but the new management is making the right moves:

1) Reduction of its debt load
2) Expansion into new markets such as China and Thailand
3) Broadening its product line

It's risky: It's got stiff competition from Hortons and Dunkin Donuts. However, Krispy Kreme is also a solid, recognizable brand with value as well.

I think at this point, KKD is worth it on the brand alone and the prospect of a stablizing business.

Because you will be having one of these in five years. (less if you're a shareholder)

Krispy Kreme is now profitable its on a roll kkd to $10 eom

The place makes donuts and only donuts. Enough said.

recent jump in price seems unjustified. this stock has limited upside at these prices.The market seems to have given alot of companies a boost in the past 6 months, but I certainly don't see many fundamental changes that would justify such a large gain in such a short period of time.

Lots of competition - sugar costs going up up up....

Looking for the next fad.... baked donuts with celery spread.

They are over the bad news. The management team in there now I believe will report a better than expected quarter on 9-7-09 and it will take off from there. I think it will go from the $3 range to the $5 range within a year, a 67% gain!!!

Gotta love em

If they followed KFC's business model, maybe this company would survive... (grill rather than fry their donuts... then have Oprah pimp them on her website)... Or maybe all it would take would be to brew a decent pot of coffee.
But I don't anticapte either of those things happening.

Krispy Kreme is a one trick pony. I could go to Dunkin Donuts everyday for a year and feel good about it... but I can only go to Krispy Kreme once a year or I will get sick to my stomach.

Which is why I'm going to trust my gut and say this company is doomed over the long-haul. Sticky, fattening, glutenous doom.

Doughnuts i love them but Dunkin Donuts is making a killing. They are expanding attaching to gas stations and hotels. I think that KKD will not stay in the market for long.

Krispy Kreme isn't going anywhere!

A donut is not just a donut, when its KKD. The most distinctive product in the field. It is also sold in Wal-Mart stores in some markets. Might edge lower from here before the eventual uptick.

Yuck...

Recession and strong cometition doesn't bode well. A donut is a donut.
