The Triple Play Report — 5/6/25

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 26 new stocks.  To sign up, choose either the monthly or annual checkout link below:

Rubrik (RBRK) is an example of a company that recently reported an earnings triple play. Reporting after the close on 3/13, the stock rallied almost 28% the following day, stacking on top of last quarter’s 20.4% move higher on 12/6 after beating estimates on the top and bottom lines and holding guidance inline. RBRK went public on April 25, 2024 and is up roughly 95% from its IPO price.

Here’s how AI describes the company: Rubrik (RBRK) is a cybersecurity and data management company that specializes in providing cloud-based solutions for data protection, cyber resilience, and business continuity. The company’s flagship offering, Rubrik Security Cloud, is a SaaS platform designed to secure data across enterprise, cloud, and SaaS environments. It integrates features such as data backup and recovery, data threat analytics, data security posture management, and cyber recovery solutions. Built on a Zero Trust architecture, the platform aims to protect against cyber threats, including ransomware attacks, by ensuring data integrity and rapid recovery capabilities.

In its most recent earnings report to cap off its first year as a public company, RBRK delivered 39% growth in subscription ARR to $1.093 billion and record net new ARR of $90 million in Q4 alone. Customer expansion was a standout, with $100K+ ARR customers growing 29% to 2,246 and $1M+ customers growing 64%. Product differentiation played a major role in the company’s ability to expand, particularly with the full integration of DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) into Rubrik Security Cloud, which enabled large customers to protect sensitive unstructured data and accelerate GenAI deployments like Microsoft Copilot. Additionally, identity protection is emerging as a new growth pillar, with early adoption of RBRK’s orchestrated Active Directory Forest Recovery, reducing recovery time from days to under an hour. Looking ahead, management discussed sustained demand for cyber resilience, rising regulatory pressures like DORA in Europe, and its partnership with Microsoft as key tailwinds.

Looking at the snapshot below from our Earnings Explorer, Rubrik (RBRK) may be a newly public company, but earnings results have been off to a solid start against analyst estimates. The company has already achieved two triple plays and two of its post-earnings stock price moves have been higher than 20%.

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Generac’s (GNRC) Q1 2025 earnings call.

Generac (GNRC) designs and manufactures backup power systems, energy storage solutions, and grid-connected energy products for residential, commercial, and industrial customers.

Tariffs emerged as the key headwind. GNRC expects $125M in second-half cost pressure from current levels (145% for China imports).

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Mondelez International’s (MDLZ) Q1 2025 earnings call.

Mondelez International (MDLZ) is one of the world’s largest snack food companies, known for iconic brands like Oreo, Chips Ahoy, Ritz, Cadbury, and Toblerone. Operating across more than 150 countries, the company focuses primarily on biscuits and chocolate, with growing portfolios in gum, candy, and baked snacks. MDLZ delivered 3.1% organic revenue growth despite headwinds from record-high cocoa costs and soft consumer demand in North America. Chocolate pricing drove growth, but volume mix declined 3.5% due to elasticity, Easter timing, and US retailer destocking. The company gained market share in chocolate globally and defended biscuits through innovation and value packs. In Europe, pricing passed with minimal disruption, while emerging markets like China and Brazil remained bright spots despite broader consumer softness. US confidence remains low, pressuring discretionary snack sales. Tariff impacts were manageable, and MDLZ reaffirmed its full-year guidance, emphasizing reinvestment if cocoa prices ease. MDLZ shares rose 4.5% on 4/30 after posting mixed results…
