Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Dunkin' Brands (NASDAQ: DNKN) price target of $36.00.
Analyst, Andy Barish, said, "We spent time visiting clients last week with DNKN CFO (and now newly named Chief Global Strategy Officer) Neil Moses and Director of IR, Stacey Caravella. Although the stock trades at a premium to other QSRs and more in line with specialty coffee companies, we find this franchise model attractive for its predictability and growth opportunity during these uncertain times."
"We suspect DNKN would consider a buyback of stock directly from financial sponsors (who still own ~30% collectively); this share count reduction would drive accretion & EPS gains. We continue to like this defensive story and remain buyers, particularly on any dips."
