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

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Dunkin’ Brands’ shares outpaced the industry in the last one year. The company’s second-quarter adjusted earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.2% and improved 12.3% year over year (y/y). Quarterly revenues also increased 1% y/y but missed the consensus mark by 0.5%. The upside was primarily driven by rise in royalty income and rental income, partly offset by a decrease in sales at company-operated restaurants and sale of ice cream and other products, along with decrease in other revenues. Going forward, the company’s top-line should gain from menu innovation and unit expansion plans. Various sales and digital initiatives like product launches, increased focus on its beverage portfolio, ongoing loyalty program and mobile ordering service also bode well. Yet, intense competition and a soft industry backdrop raise concerns. Also, challenging comps growth in international markets at both its divisions is a potent headwind." (7/31/2017)

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."
