Dunkin' shares set to deliver, Kroger killing it

Dunkin’ Brands (DNKN) shares are rallying nearly 3% today after the team at Goldman Sachs (GS) told clients to buy the shares in part because its K-Cups are flying off the shelves, plus more customers are taking advantage of the company's DD Perks loyalty program. The firm says the stock can reach $54 a share, that's a gain of about 15% from current levels. Dunkin’ shares are already up 9% this year but that still trails rival Starbuck's 14% gain.

Sticking with food, Kroger (KR) shares are rising by 5% after the nation's largest grocery chain said fourth-quarter profits rose 23% to $518 million and revenue increased 8% to $25 billion. Plus the company boosted it full-year outlook and now expects to earn as much as $3.90 a share. Kroger is benefiting from lower fuel margins, but CEO Rodney McMullen says the chain is also improving its relationship with customers which is helping it compete against big rivals such as Wal-Mart (WMT).

Monster Worldwide (MWW), the online staffing firm, is under pressure today, shares are down 2% after weekly jobless claims unexpectedly rose last week by 7K to a seasonally adjusted rate of 320,000. This is the highest level since May. It's unclear whether or not the harsh winter slowed hiring. Look for more details tomorrow with the employment report for February. Employers likely added 240,000 workers according to estimates.  Those numbers due at 8:30 am eastern time Friday.
