Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Best Buy’s (BBY) Q4 2026 earnings call.

Best Buy (BBY) is the largest US specialty retailer of consumer electronics, computing, mobile phones, appliances, and related services, operating over 1,000 stores alongside a major e-commerce platform. With $13.8 billion in Q4 revenue and more than 80,000 employees, the company serves as a bellwether for consumer technology spending, replacement cycles, and the real-world commercialization of AI hardware. Management reported Q4 comparable sales down 0.8%, below estimates, but delivered better-than-expected profitability, with an adjusted operating income rate of 5% and EPS of $2.61. The dominant theme was rising memory component costs, pressuring computing supply and pricing. Management outlined a five-point mitigation playbook and framed the guidance range of -1% to +1% comps around varying severity of constraints. Best Buy Ads hit $900 million in collections (up 7%), with 10% growth guided for FY27, while Marketplace reached $300 million in Q4 GMV. AI was discussed, with new partnerships with OpenAI, Google, and Meta positioning BBY for agentic commerce. The company plans to open six new stores, its first domestic expansion in over a decade, and expects FY27 to be the last major Ads/Marketplace investment year before material profit contributions in FY28-29. Shares rallied 7.1% on 3/3 in reaction to the report…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Target’s (TGT) Q4 2025 earnings call.

Target (TGT) is one of America’s largest general merchandise retailers, operating nearly 2,000 stores within 10 miles of 75% of the US population. The company specializes in six core categories: apparel, home, beauty, food and beverage, hardlines, and essentials. Management was candid on the call that recent performance “has not met expectations” and outlined a more than $2 billion incremental investment plan that includes $1 billion in CapEx for 30+ new stores and 130+ remodels, and $1 billion in P&L spending on store labor, marketing, and technology. The company is funding this partly by lapping roughly $500 million in one-time tariff and inventory costs from 2025 and $200 million in savings from headcount reductions. Guidance calls for about 2% net sales growth and adjusted EPS of $7.50–$8.50. Management highlighted accelerating sales trends in February, food and beverage growing at 8%+ annually since 2019, and same-day delivery surpassing $14 billion. Tariff uncertainty remains a key variable. TGT reported an EPS beat on weaker revenue as the stock rose 6.8% on 3/3…

The Triple Play Report: 2/26/26

An earnings triple play is a stock that reports earnings and manages to 1) beat analyst EPS estimates, 2) beat analyst sales estimates, and 3) raise forward guidance.  You can read more about “triple plays” at Investopedia.com where they’ve given Bespoke credit for popularizing the term.  We like triple plays as an indication that a company’s business is firing on all cylinders, with better-than-expected results and an improving outlook.  A triple play is indicative of positive “fundamental momentum” instead of pure fundamentals, and there are always plenty of names with both high and low valuations on our quarterly list.

Bespoke’s Triple Play Report covers what each company does, what this quarter’s results say about their growth outlooks, and their histories of delivering triple plays.  Bespoke’s Triple Play Report is available at the Bespoke Institutional level only.  You can sign up for Bespoke Institutional now and receive a 14-day trial to read today’s Triple Play Report.  To sign up, choose either the monthly or annual checkout link below:

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Lowe’s (LOW) Q4 2025 earnings call.

Lowe’s (LOW) is the second-largest home improvement retailer in the world, operating approximately 1,700 stores across the United States. The company serves both do-it-yourself homeowners and professional contractors, offering everything from appliances and building materials to installation services. Lowe’s delivered Q4 comparable sales growth of 1.3% and full-year sales of $86.3 billion, but management struck a cautious tone for 2026, guiding comparable sales of flat to up 2% against a home improvement market they expect to be roughly flat. The central headwind remains elevated mortgage rates and the lock-in effect, suppressing housing turnover, though rates briefly dipped below 6% this week. Big-ticket discretionary DIY spending continues to be deferred. Pro customer growth was a standout, with the Pro extended aisle exceeding expectations and new AI-powered tools improving sales interactions.

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers CAVA’s (CAVA) Q4 2025 earnings call.

CAVA (CAVA) is a fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant chain that has become a category leader, serving customizable bowls, salads, and pitas. With 439 locations across 28 states at year-end 2025, the company crossed $1 billion in annual revenue for the first time and is targeting at least 1,000 restaurants by 2032. CAVA delivered 22.5% full-year revenue growth and 4% same-restaurant sales growth in 2025, though Q4 comps slowed to 0.5%. Management guided 2026 same-restaurant sales of 3%–5%, noting Q1 is tracking above that range but embedding macro caution for the balance of the year. CAVA raised menu prices just 1.4% in January, kept its base bowl price unchanged, and has consistently taken far less pricing than competitors, underpricing inflation by over 10% in recent years. The company is launching pomegranate-glazed salmon, its first seafood protein, which tested better than chicken shawarma but carries a roughly 100bp margin headwind. Tariffs contributed to a 50bps food cost increase in Q4. After posting better-than-expected results, CAVA shares were up 24% on 2/25…
