Trade Details

Buy Dunkin’ Brands (DNKN) June $47.50 Calls for $1.40 or better

 

Why?

It’s a big week for earnings, but sometimes the companies not making the headlines are the ones providing the best trade opportunities.   For instance, Dunkin’ Brands (DNKN) is down roughly 1% today after missing first quarter estimates.  And, it’s providing us with a great call-buying opportunity.

You see, DNKN – which owns Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins – missed estimates because of the bad weather.  However, the company didn’t lower its full-year predictions for store growth or profits.  That’s clearly a sign the setback was temporary.  Now that the bad weather is behind us, there are plenty of reasons to believe DNKN will continue on its path of solid growth.

I believe the stock will hold above its 200-day moving average and climb back towards the 50-day moving average.  Let’s buy the June ATM calls here.
