Looking to draw more sophisticated consumers, fast food chains are adding fancier ingredients such as portabella mushrooms, citrus-herb marinated chicken and pepper bacon, reports the Wall Street Journal. Behind the move is a growing foodie culture as well as the success of chains like Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) and Panera Bread (PNRA), a category called "fast casual." Customers order at the counter but pay for food above a hamburger, fries and a shake. Reference Link | |

Wedbush's Chipotle checks indicate Q2 same-store-sales are tracking slightly ahead of Street estimates of 3.8% driven by increased marketing, improved throughput, and new menu items. Checks also indicate catering is strong and is seeing increased traction and that a price increase in the 3-5% range is likely in 2H 2013 given increased commodity costs. The analyst raised estimates given strong comps and raised its price target to $420 from $400. Shares are Outperform rated. | | | June 12, 2013 | | 09:17 EDT | | YUM | Yum!

The shares have been in a slow roll over since hitting lifetime highs in April. A short-term small-scale double bottom pattern briefly lent support to the stock, but price has begun to roll over again. At the current price of $98.97, next support for the stock is at $98.12, the 10-day moving average. A breakdown below that level would be price bearish. Resistance is at $100.33, the 30-day moving average. | | | June 10, 2013 | | 09:55 EDT | | MCD | McDonald's rises after sales update, levels to watch

The Wall Street averages were all up about 1% near midday after the monthly jobs report beat forecasts. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the Labor Department reported employers added 175K jobs in May, beating expectations for 163K added jobs. The unemployment rate rose slightly to 7.6% in May from 7.5% in April, with the uptick attributed to more people entering the workforce. COMPANY NEWS: TiVo (TIVO) confirmed it had settled a patent lawsuit with Google's (GOOG) Motorola unit, Cisco (CSCO) and Time Warner Cable (TWC), as reported by media outlets yesterday. The company also doubled its stock buyback authorization, but TiVo shares, which had been higher yesterday on the initial reports, fell over 17% as the amount of money the company received in the deal fell short of analyst expectations. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers were JinkoSolar (JKS) and Thor Industries (THO), which both gained over 10% following their earnings reports. Also higher were shares of Yum! Brands (YUM), which rose nearly 3% after UBS upgraded the stock to Buy. Among the losers were a number of companies that had hoped to convert to real estate investment trusts after the IRS formed a group to study issues relating to REIT conversions. Notably, Iron Mountain (IRM) fell almost 16%, Copart (CPRT) dropped over 6%, and Equinix (EQIX) slid over 5%. INDICES: Near 1 pm ET, the Dow was up 168.95, or 1.12%, to 15,209.57; the Nasdaq was up 35.12, or 1.03%, to 3,459.17; and the S&P 500 was up 15.41, or 0.95%, to 1,637.97. | | | 11:57 EDT | | YUM | Yum!
