Why is Krispy Kreme Up Today?

Krispy Kreme, Inc. (DNUT) shares have fallen amid growing litigation risk after the company paused its McDonald’s donut rollout. Investors are suing over alleged misstatements about partnership performance, and multiple law firms have launched securities class actions on behalf of shareholders who traded DNUT between February 25 and May 7.

  • McDonald’s partnership fallout: A paused rollout and weaker‐than‐expected demand at McDonald’s locations prompted one suit and spurred further legal challenges.
  • Wave of class actions: Over a dozen firms—including Levi & Korsinsky, Robbins LLP, Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, Rosen Law, Pomerantz, Schall Law, Gainey McKenna & Egleston and others—have filed or are investigating claims alleging Krispy Kreme misled investors on franchise performance and profitability.
  • Lead plaintiff deadline: Potential class members have until July 15, 2025, to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in these federal securities lawsuits.
  • Operational bright spots: The company is boosting marketing with the return of its Strawberry Original Glazed Doughnut (May 30–June 1) and a new Stitch-themed donut collection, but these initiatives have so far not offset legal concerns.
