The Triple Play Report — 3/6/25

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 highlights companies that have recently reported earnings triple plays, and it features commentary from management on triple-play conference calls, company descriptions and analysis, and price charts.  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 this week’s Triple Play Report, which features 32 new stocks.  To sign up, choose either the monthly or annual checkout link below:

Reporting after the close on 2/26, the stock rallied 13.2% the following day, stacking on top of last quarter’s 13.1% move higher on 11/7 after beating estimates on the top and bottom lines and holding guidance inline. LZ is a beaten down stock since its IPO in June 2021, but it has rebounded more than 80% from August lows.

The company offers a variety of legal services, including the creation of legal documents such as wills, living trusts, business formation documents, copyright registrations, and trademark applications.

In its most recent earnings report, management made note of the company’s progressing in moving to a subscription-driven business model. LZ reported revenue of $162 million, up 2% YoY, with subscription revenue growing 2% due to strong demand for compliance-related services. Despite a 15% decline in business formations to 96,000, LZ countered by mentioning its focus on attracting higher-value customers rather than maximizing volume. The company ended the quarter with 1.8 million active subscriptions, up 14% from the prior year. Some highlights were bundling compliance and business management solutions, adjusting pricing to align with customer value, and integrating AI-powered tools like an estate planning assistant and business name generator.

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Campbell’s (CPB) Q2 2025 earnings call.

Campbell’s (CPB) is a major player in the packaged food industry, known for its soups, sauces, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals. Its portfolio includes household staples like Campbell’s soup, Pepperidge Farm, Goldfish, Snyder’s of Hanover, Prego, Swanson, and Rao’s. The company serves a broad consumer base, from budget-conscious shoppers to premium-category buyers, and provides insight into consumer demand trends, grocery spending habits, and shifting food preferences. CPB’s acquisition of Sovos Brands, which includes Rao’s, has bolstered its presence in the industry. CPB’s Q2 results showed mixed performance, with 9% revenue growth due to the Sovos acquisition, but organic sales declined 2% as the snacks business struggled. Goldfish and Snyder’s pretzels saw competitive pressure, and promotional spending hurt margins in the Snacks unit. Meals & Beverages remained stable, with Rao’s and Prego growing 5% in sales, though broth faces private-label headwinds. Tariffs on Canadian steel and canola oil pose cost risks, but mitigation efforts are underway. On mixed results, CPB opened 4.7% lower on 3/5 but recovered partially throughout the session…
