Krispy Kreme Inc Aktie News

Krispy Kreme (DNUT) shares slid 6.6% on Monday, continuing their recent fall after soaring nearly 40% in late March on news McDonald's (MCD) plans to sell the company's donuts at its restaurants nationwide by the end of 2026, increasing the possibility of a “fill the gap” event on the stock's chart.

Krispy Kreme Inc. NASDAQ: DNUT is world famous for its glazed donuts which can be purchased fresh through its store locations or grocery stores and kiosks. Shares of the retail/wholesale sector company skyrocketed 39% higher on news of its sweet partnership with fast food giant McDonald's Co. NYSE: MCD.

Piper Sandler analyst Brian Mullan upgraded Krispy Kreme stock to Overweight from Neutral, and lifted the target price to $20 from $14.

Krispy Kreme's stock soared 18% in March 2024, fueled by a nationwide collaboration with McDonald's. The partnership, scaling from a nine-store test in Louisville to over 13,500 McDonald's locations, aims for complete rollout over the next two years.

Krispy Kreme donuts may be coming to a McDonald's near you. But the financial impact is likely not as significant as investors might hope.

Shares of Krispy Kreme NASDAQ: DNUT soared by as much as 40% on Tuesday following the announcement of a partnership with McDonald's NYSE: MCD. The companies revealed plans to make Krispy Kreme doughnuts available at all McDonald's restaurants across the United States.

The partnership starts rolling out later this year, and across the U.S. by the end of 2026.

As we head into the last two days of a holiday shortened week, stocks are hoping to break a two-day losing streak.
