Krispy Kreme price target lowered to $2.50 from $3 at Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley lowered the firm’s price target on Krispy Kreme (DNUT) to $2.50 from $3 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. With industry demand improved, the firm sees a likely better quarter for restaurants and food distributors than Q1, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Ongoing policy noise remains a risk but middle/upper income customer cohorts remain solid, and costs are mostly benign, the firm argues.
