The main question: the share price moved −8.9% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −17,069.9%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Krispy Kreme share price today? Krispy Kreme, Inc.'s share price was $3.27 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 2.1% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $3 and $5, and at that close it sat 26% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 2 weeks in a row. Over the last 1 year the share price moved −2% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Krispy Kreme pay? Krispy Kreme, Inc. paid $0.14 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.04 for Mar 2025. At today's price of $3.27 that is a yield of 4.28%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Krispy Kreme on? Krispy Kreme is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Krispy Kreme profitable? Krispy Kreme, Inc. posted a net loss of $20.3 M in the Jun 2026 quarter. The full FY25 year was a loss of $520 M. That loss is 6.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $435 M. 10 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was −$520 M (−16,903.1% on the year before). ## How much revenue does Krispy Kreme make, and is it growing? Krispy Kreme, Inc. reported $331 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −12.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 3 years it has grown 3.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.5 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.5 B. FY25 revenue was $1.5 B, −8.6% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −4.8% on average, against 3.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −4.8%, against −8.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Krispy Kreme keep? Krispy Kreme, Inc.'s operating margin was −2.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 5.3 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −3.9% and 2.6%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +5.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +5.9 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Krispy Kreme's profit turning into cash? Krispy Kreme, Inc.'s cash-flow history is too short to judge how much of its profit turns into cash. In FY25 it brought in $33.9 M of operating cash against −$520 M of profit. After $97.9 M of spending on assets, free cash was −$64.0 M: it spent more than its operations brought in. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Krispy Kreme's cash go? Krispy Kreme, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $340 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 7.4% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $340 M over the last 3 years. In short: most of the cash goes on covering the loss, not on new assets; spending on assets is small next to it. ## What is Krispy Kreme's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Krispy Kreme, Inc. has no P/E right now, because its earnings are negative. The revenue and margin sections are where a turn would show first. Measured against sales instead, the market values Krispy Kreme, Inc. at 0.4× its FY25 revenue of $1.5 B. The P/E comes back here once profit turns positive. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −17,069.9% while the price moved −8.9%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. ## Is the Krispy Kreme business getting better or worse? Krispy Kreme, Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Krispy Kreme earn on its capital? Krispy Kreme, Inc. earned a ROE of −77% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 7.3 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −34.2% net margin and 0.59× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −34.2% net margin × 0.59× asset turnover × 3.83× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −77.3% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: −1.2% − 6.1% = −7.3 percentage points. The 6.1% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The −1.2% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at −2.6%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Krispy Kreme have too much debt? Krispy Kreme, Inc. has total debt of $1.3 B against shareholder equity of $620 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 2.04× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.90 in FY22 to 2.12 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Krispy Kreme shareholding pattern? 20.5% of Krispy Kreme, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 8.9 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Krispy Kreme from balance-sheet trouble? For Krispy Kreme, Inc., the Z-score is 0.14. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 0.14 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Krispy Kreme rank in its industry? 35.7 out of 100, rank 10 of 10 in Grocery Stores, with 64% of the evidence available. Krispy Kreme, Inc. scores 35.7 out of 100 against the 10 companies it is compared with in Grocery Stores, ranking 10. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 18.9 + 3 + 8.5 + 5.3 = 35.7. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Krispy Kreme compared with? Krispy Kreme ranks 10 of 10 Grocery Stores companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 35.7 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
