Dunkin Brands' Bitter Taste: Can It Consistently Beat Earnings?

Dunkin Donuts shares haven't been as tasty as, say, its maple-frosted donuts for some investors in 2014 -- the stock has fallen about nine percent to start the year, as it struggles to consistently beat Wall St. expectations following its hot 2011 IPO. The market may be wondering if shares crested last year, and one analyst with Jefferies may agree, lowering a rating to 'hold' earlier this week, and further sending stock into a swoon. Earnings next come October 23, but Dunkin is doing what it can to market better and help the environment, now testing out a new cup that could eliminate Styrofoam.
