Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Dunkin' Brands Group stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Dunkin’ Brands’ shares outpaced the Zacks categorized Retail-Restaurants industry in the last year. Earnings topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the past nine quarters and estimates have been stable ahead of its Q2 earnings release. The licensing deals with Keurig Green Mountain and J.M. Smucker to sell Dunkin' K-Cup pods to retailers as well as online customers continue to expand Dunkin’s brand reach. Also, top-line should gain from menu innovation and unit expansion plans. The company’s franchised business model, various sales and digital initiatives like product launches, loyalty program and mobile ordering service bode well too. Focus on establishing itself as a beverage leader should aid sales going forward. Yet, intense competition, soft industry backdrop and a shift in ice cream consumption in the U.S. raise concerns. Challenging comps growth in international markets at both its divisions is also a potent headwind." (7/17/2017)
• 2. Wedbush analysts commented, "Wedbush View: We believe Dunkin’s current valuation properly reflects its large domestic and international growth opportunities, as well as the advantages of its franchised model, offset by int’l and U.S. comp challenges. EPS in-line on continued sluggish sales. Adj. EPS of $0.48 was in-line with consensus after adjusting for a $0.06 tax benefit, on SSS growth that was below cons. across all segments, most notably flat DD U.S. comps vs. +1% consensus." (5/5/2017)
• 3. Maxim Group analysts commented, "Dunkin’ Brands (DNKN) announced 1Q17 (March) pro forma EPS of $0.54, beating our Street-matching $0.48 estimate. The adoption of a new accounting standard for stock options added $0.06 to EPS. Management increased full-year 2017 EPS guidance to reflect 1Q17 results. Same-restaurant sales at the flagship Dunkin’ U.S. were flat y/y, below our +1.1% estimate and the +0.8% Street mean. However, we regard the doubling of mobile sales as a key positive." (5/1/2017)
• 4. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "4Q EPS beat at $0.64 vs. us/con at $0.61 on extra week, gains and better margins. Nevertheless, key oper metrics on sss and development remain muted and expected to continue with below consensus EPS guide for '17. We lower EPS ests for '17/'18 (EBITDA less so) and believe it will take time to see improvements in trends. We realize franchisors seeing investor interest, but remain at Underperform as we move PT to $48 (from $45) based upon 13x '18 EV/EBITDA." (2/10/2017)
• 5. Royal Bank Of Canada analysts commented, "Ahead of DNKN 4Q earnings next week, we are maintaining our 4Q16 estimates but trimming our 1Q17e SSS growth and 2017/2018 EPS estimates and price target. We believe the company is beginning a transition to more profitable sales, which can ultimately bolster unit development. However, we see near-term sales risks partly due to competitor discounting."
