Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Builders FirstSource’s (BLDR) Q4 2024 earnings call.

Builders FirstSource (BLDR) is the largest supplier of building materials, prefabricated components, and construction services to professional homebuilders, remodelers, and commercial contractors in the US. The company specializes in value-added products like trusses, millwork, and wall panels, along with digital tools that streamline ordering and job site efficiency. Its strong focus on acquisitions has allowed it to expand into high-growth markets. BLDR navigated a tough housing market with an 8% drop in revenue to $3.8 billion, driven by a 29% decline in Multi-Family and a 7% dip in Single-Family sales. Affordability challenges led builders to focus on smaller homes and rate buy-downs. Despite headwinds, BLDR invested $75 million in value-added products and saw $134 million in incremental digital sales, targeting $200 million in 2025. It closed 13 acquisitions, adding $420 million in prior-year sales. Tariffs and labor constraints remain concerns, but BLDR’s prefabrication capabilities could offer a competitive edge. On mixed results, BLDR had an up-and-down day in the market on 2/20…

Beyond its core marketplace, Etsy owns Depop, a fast-growing fashion resale platform, and Reverb, a music gear marketplace.

The company is leaning into differentiation with AI-driven quality scoring, improving personalization, and growing its loyalty program. Depop was a bright spot, with GMS up 32%, making it the fastest-growing US fashion resale platform. Reverb saw a 2.6% decline but gained traction with its new Reverb Outlet.

The Triple Play Report — 2/19/25

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

Doximity (DOCS) is an example of a company that recently reported an earnings triple play; its third in a row. The stock was up a staggering 36% the following day (2/7), which comes after very impressive earnings-day reactions last November (+34.2%), August (+38.7%), and May (+18.1%). Since last May’s report in which the company beat estimates but kept guidance inline, DOCS has climbed roughly 250%.

Here’s how AI describes the company: Doximity has emerged as a leading digital platform dedicated to empowering healthcare professionals.  By providing a secure, feature-rich environment for physicians and other clinicians, Doximity enables seamless networking, collaboration, and communication among those in the healthcare space.  Its innovative telehealth solutions, streamlined physician workflow tools, and personalized medical news feed have garnered widespread adoption, while its robust advertising and recruiting channels have opened new revenue opportunities.  As the healthcare industry continues to embrace digital transformation, Doximity is well-positioned to capitalize on this momentum, paving the way for ongoing growth and a stronger presence in the rapidly evolving health tech landscape.

On its most recent earnings report, growth was fueled by top pharma clients (122% net retention), soaring AI adoption (1.8M prompts, +60% QoQ), and expanding workflow tools (610K+ active prescribers).  New point-of-care and formulary products doubled YoY, now making up 20% of pharma sales, while multi-module campaigns drove larger deal sizes. The company’s client portal, now used by 50% of brand clients, is scaling further with 10 new agency partners.

Looking at the snapshot below from our Earnings Explorer, Doximity results have been very consistent against estimates since 2022.  The stock has beaten both EPS and revenue estimates for 13 straight quarters, and it has raised guidance on each of its last three reports.

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Zillow’s (ZG) Q4 2024 earnings call.

Zillow (ZG) is the dominant online real estate marketplace, providing home buyers, sellers, renters, and real estate professionals with data-driven tools to navigate the housing market. The company’s platform includes home listings, rental properties, mortgages, and real estate agent services, with its “Housing Super App” that aims to digitize every stage of a real estate transaction. ZG serves both individual consumers and industry professionals, offering insights into housing trends, affordability, and market conditions. Its Zestimate home valuation tool and integration of AI-driven features like Zillow Showcase make it a leader in real estate technology. This quarter, ZG posted $554 million in Q4 revenue, up 17% YoY, despite a sluggish housing market with only 6% total transaction value growth. The enhanced market expansion strategy drove stronger conversions, with 21% of transactions now in these markets, expected to reach 35% in 2025. Mortgage revenue soared 86% YoY, with Zillow Home Loans adoption climbing. Rental revenue jumped 25%, fueled by a new Redfin partnership and an expanded multifamily property count of 50,000 (up from 37,000 in 2023). AI-powered features, including Zillow Showcase, helped drive a 2% premium on listings. While home affordability remains a challenge, ZG notes that a shortage of 4.5 million homes remains a structural constraint. ZG beat estimates but cut guidance, and the stock fell as much as 14.2% on Wednesday morning, 2/12…
