TALES OF THE TAPE: RT, EAT, PNRA, YUM, RUTH

04/07/11 08:29AM EDT

Notable news items and price action from the past twenty-four hours.

  • RT reported a disastrous quarter AMC.  The stock traded down on accelerating volume during yesterday’s session is trading at $11.80 pre-market from yesterday’s close of $13.37.  See my note, published earlier this morning, for more details.  Most of the issues are RT specific but the group could trade lower today.  I like EAT on any RT-related weakness.
  • PNRA declined 3.7% on accelerating volume. OTR Global has a “Mixed” read on Panera Bread, deteriorating from “Positive” in December.
  • Japanese restaurants in India scrambled Wednesday to find replacement ingredients after the government imposed a blanket ban on food imports from Japan over radiation fears.
  • From this month KFC will use high oleic rapeseed oil at its 800 outlets in UK and Ireland, at an estimated cost of £1m a year. The move will cut levels of saturated fat in its chicken by 25 per cent, according to the company.
  • RUTH traded up nicely yesterday on accelerating volume – Hedgeye remains positive.
  • YUM traded higher on accelerating volume.
