FNM Sector Spotlight Article: The restaurant group has slid out of the top 20 since we last checked in during late July. In that time, Darden Restaurants (DRI) and Panera Bread (PNRA) have continued to pull back sharply. McDonald's (MCD) has been in a downtrend since April. Yum Brands (YUM) continues its wobbling consolidation below a high set April 2012. There is also clear strength in the group. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (KKD) and low-priced Wendy's (WEN) are extended and near highs. So is Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD). Starbucks (SBUX) and Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) are just below recent highs, conducting very mild consolidations.
