04/29/11 08:49AM EDT

Notable news items and price action from the past twenty-four hours along with our fundamental view on select names.

  • RUTH reported EPS of $0.13 and company-owned comparable restaurant sales of +5.2% versus consensus +4.2%.
  • SONC reported system-wide same store sales of +4-6% for the first two months of Q3.
  • MCD raised prices for large soft-drinks in China by 0.5 yuan (8 cents).  PPI in China rose at the fastest pace for 30 years during March.
  • COSI reported +3% company-owned comparable sales trends for 3Q.  This number constitutes a slowdown in two-year average trends but, as I wrote in a note published this morning, the number is not as bad as it may appear at first glance.
  • PNRA declined on accelerating volume.
  • BWLD and KONA gained on accelerating volume.
