Subscriber growth outperformed, driven by emerging markets like Latin America and Asia-Pacific, while developed markets saw continued organic expansion and share gains.

Innovation remained a key theme, with AI accelerating product development and internal efficiency, leading to faster rollout of features like AI playlists. Content diversification through audiobooks and video podcasts boosted engagement, with video watch time up 44% YoY.

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Royal Caribbean’s (RCL) Q1 2025 earnings call.
Royal Caribbean (RCL) is one of the world’s leading cruise lines, operating globally through its well-known brands: Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Silversea. The company serves millions of travelers each year. With a growing portfolio of technologically advanced ships, exclusive private destinations like Perfect Day at CocoCay, and a unified loyalty ecosystem across brands, RCL offers insight into consumer discretionary spending and experiential travel trends. Q1 was a record-breaking quarter, driven by strong consumer demand, especially in close-in bookings and onboard spending. Yields grew 5.6% YoY, fueled largely by ticket pricing. WAVE season was the best in company history, and April bookings for 2025 are pacing ahead of last year. The company is benefiting from positive consumer sentiment around leisure travel, a widening value gap versus land-based vacations, and premium pricing on new ships like Star of the Seas and Celebrity Xcel. The company beat EPS estimates but missed on the top line despite 7.3% YoY revenue growth, resulting in a +2.1% share-price move at the open on 4/29 followed by intraday weakness that wiped out the gains…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Boston Beer’s (SAM) Q1 2025 earnings call.
Boston Beer (SAM) is one of the largest craft brewers in the US, best known for its Samuel Adams beers, Twisted Tea hard iced teas, Truly hard seltzers, Angry Orchard ciders, and newer products like Sun Cruiser and Hard Mountain Dew. The company serves as a bellwether for evolving alcohol trends in the US among light beer traditionalists to younger drinkers looking for flavored, high-ABV options. In Q1, shipments were up 5.3% despite a 1% dip in depletions, driven by strong wholesaler demand for new products like Sun Cruiser and Truly Unruly. Twisted Tea held over 86% of the hard tea market but slowed from past growth as new competitors crowded shelf space. Inflation, weakening beer demand, and $20–$30M in expected 2025 tariff costs (mainly from aluminum and Chinese POS materials) weighed on the company’s outlook. Management remains optimistic, betting on distribution gains, summer marketing, and portfolio innovation to drive a second-half rebound. The stock was up as much as 7.6% after-hours on 4/24 but gave up most of the gains on 4/25 after beating expectations…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Domino’s Pizza’s (DPZ) Q1 2025 earnings call.
Domino’s Pizza (DPZ) is one of the world’s largest pizza delivery and carryout companies, operating over 20,000 stores across the US and over 90 international markets. The company gives valuable insight into consumer value-seeking behavior and the competitive dynamics of the quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry. DPZ grew global retail sales by 4.7% year/year despite ongoing macro headwinds, benefiting from international strength (+8.2%) and US net store growth (+17 stores). The launch of Parmesan Stuffed Crust is performing to expectations and is seen as a long-term sales driver. Domino’s will roll out its DoorDash partnership nationally by mid-2025, expected to double the size of its aggregator channel relative to Uber Eats with ~50% incrementality. Consumer pressure, especially among low-income groups, weighed on traffic. Management reiterated full-year guidance, projecting 3% US same-store sales growth weighted to the second half, and remains confident in 175 net new US store openings for 2025. On mixed results, DPZ opened 2.4% lower on 4/28 but rallied intraday to erase the loss…
