Krispy Kreme Aktie

Krispy Kreme reported net revenue of $331 million for Q2 2026 versus expectations of $320.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $28.8 million (+43%), lifting consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin to 8.7%. Adjusted earnings per share were −$0.03, missing the estimate of −$0.01; the stock rose modestly in premarket trading. Management confirmed the 2026 full-year guidance and attributed the year‑over‑year revenue decline mainly to planned refranchising, while free cash flow improved markedly in the first half. Risks remain in international expansion, high indebtedness and the execution of the turnaround plan. » Más en de.investing.com
