Dunkin' Brands Stock: What to Watch When It Reports Earnings

Investors are cautiously optimistic heading into the third-quarter earnings report by Dunkin' Brands Group (NASDAQ: DNKN). Dunkin' might also reveal modest market-share gains against Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) during the last few months. It won't be hard for Dunkin' to achieve improved results compared with the second quarter, which saw comparable-store sales dive 19% year over year in the U.S. as revenue dropped 20% overall.
