Krispy Kreme Q2 Revenue Beats, Adjusted EBITDA Jumps 43%
DNUT is trading near its 52-week low of $2.88 (13% above the low).
Summary
Krispy Kreme's Q2 revenue of $331M beat the $303M consensus despite a 13% decline, driven by refranchising and McDonald's partnership exit. Adjusted EBITDA surged 43% to $28.8M, topping estimates, as productivity initiatives and SG&A savings lifted margins. The company maintained its full-year 2026 guidance, signaling confidence in the turnaround. This follows a Q1 that showed narrowing losses and a 38% EBITDA jump, and a June CEO comment about 'significant improvement' in business performance. The results validate the refranchising strategy and cost-cutting efforts, with fresh delivery expansion adding to profitability.
At the time of this announcement, DNUT was trading at $3.25 on NASDAQ in the Trade & Services sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $534.4M. The 52-week trading range was $2.88 to $5.11. This news item was assessed with positive market sentiment and an importance score of 8 out of 10. Source: Reuters.
