Over the year ended Oct. 28, 2007, the date of the most recently available report, Krispy Kreme paid $12.4 million in interest expense on an average debt balance of $103.2 million. That's 12%. I know credit cards that charge less than that.Following their announcement this morning that their cost of debt will rise another 2%, the price of the stock plummeted.
Krispy Kreme and its still debt-dunked business model ... Wednesday's Worst Stock in the CAPS world.
I'm not running scared - industry wags have been wrong before, and the data this one cites is over six months out of date. Thus far, my losses on KKD are less than five percent, which is well within my level of tolerance for a long position such as this.
