Janney Montgomery Scott initiates coverage on Krispy Kreme (NYSE: KKD) with a Neutral. PT $6.

JMS analyst says, "We view the potential positives for the company and its stock as relatively balancing the risks. Among the positive factors for the company and its stock are its highly-recognizable brand, sound strategic initiatives (including less relative dependence going forward on large factory stores), and sizable international growth opportunities. Risks include the possibility of continued market-share losses, rising commodity costs, and rising fuel prices."
