Dunkin’ Brands shares fell as much as 4 percent in early trading Thursday after the company reported weaker-than-expected sales growth and strong headwinds in international markets.
The stock later recovered some of its losses and ended the day modestly lower.
Same-store sales at international locations of the company’s Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins brands in the second quarter declined 3.1 percent and 6.6. percent, respectively, well below analysts’ expectations.
