Shares of Jamba Inc. (NASDAQ: JMBA), which makes Jamba Juice drinks, dropped recently after a Wedbush Morgan analyst noted the company expects to report soft sales in its California markets and could have trouble maintaining margins in 2008. Analyst Brian Moore said in a client note that the company's chief executive, Paul Clayton, said he expects "continued softness" in California markets in 2008, even as same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, grow in newer markets. California has been hit hard by the weakening housing market, which has decreased home values and led consumers there to be more cautious about spending money on discretionary items.
