Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers PepsiCo’s (PEP) Q1 2025 earnings call.
PepsiCo (PEP) is a global food and beverage leader known for its iconic brands like Pepsi, Gatorade, Lay’s, Doritos, and Quaker. The company operates across more than 200 countries. It competes in both highly commoditized and value-added segments, offering a lens into global consumer behavior, pricing dynamics, health trends, and macroeconomic sentiment. PEP reiterated its full-year revenue outlook but cut EPS guidance, citing new tariff pressures, weaker consumer confidence, and persistent volume softness in Frito-Lay North America (FLNA). The company is executing a three-pronged turnaround strategy at FLNA (value pricing, portfolio expansion, and operational improvements) while addressing complex shifts in consumer affordability. International growth remained strong, with markets like India and Brazil offsetting weakness in China and Mexico. Regulatory readiness was a theme, as PEP accelerates the reformulation of products like Lay’s to remove artificial colors. Executives also flagged rising GLP-1 adoption as a factor influencing portion sizes and demand for protein, fiber, and hydration, which PEP is actively targeting with innovation. The stock was down about 5% on 4/24 after posting mixed results…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Texas Instruments’ (TXN) Q1 2025 earnings call.
Texas Instruments (TXN) is one of the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers, specializing in analog and embedded processing chips that power everything from industrial automation systems and electric vehicles to personal electronics and communications infrastructure. In Q1, TXN reported revenue of $4.1B, up 11% YoY, as signs of recovery spread across end markets, especially industrial, which grew upper-single digits sequentially after seven straight declines. Executives believe we’re at the bottom of the semiconductor cycle, with customer inventories “very, very short” across the board. Tariffs and geopolitical tension remain key watchpoints, but TXN emphasized its “geopolitically dependable capacity” and global footprint, citing dual-source manufacturing and flexibility as advantages. The team noted stronger-than-usual seasonality in Q2 guidance, driven more by broad recovery than by tariff-related pull-forwards. Competition from Chinese chipmakers is intensifying, but TXN is leaning on scale, breadth, and inventory availability to defend its position. The stock opened up 8% on 4/24 after the better-than-expected results…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Chipotle’s (CMG) Q1 2025 earnings call.
Chipotle (CMG) is a fast-casual restaurant chain known for customizable burritos, bowls, tacos, and salads. With nearly 3,800 locations across North America and a growing international presence, CMG serves value-conscious consumers who prioritize food integrity, convenience, and customization. CMG’s Q1 sales rose 6%, though same-store sales dipped 0.4% as consumer pullback pressured transactions. CMG’s new Honey Chicken LTO outperformed all past launches, helping offset softness. Tariffs (aluminum, beef, packaging) are expected to weigh 50bps on COGS, but supply chain offsets and equipment rollouts (like the produce slicer) are improving throughput and margins. International growth accelerated with new partnerships in Mexico and expansion in the Middle East. Marketing spend will rise in Q2, especially in digital. The brand’s affordability, $10 average entrée, and hospitality push aim to defend its edge as the broader consumer tightens spending. On mixed results, CMG shares traded roughly flat on 4/24…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Capital One’s (COF) Q1 2025 earnings call.
Capital One (COF) is known for its position in credit cards, auto lending, and digital-first consumer banking. It serves over 100 million customers across the US. This quarter, COF emphasized improving credit trends, with delinquencies and charge-offs declining on a seasonally adjusted basis. Domestic card revenue rose 7% YoY, and auto originations jumped 22%. Marketing spend was up 19%, with a sharp focus on acquiring high-spending customers and expanding the digital banking franchise. Management maintained confidence in consumer strength but increased downside weighting in its reserve model due to macro uncertainty. The Discover (DFS) acquisition, set to close on May 18th, dominated the call, with long-term ambitions to expand the Discover network globally while leveraging Capital One’s tech infrastructure. On mixed results, COF shares were up as much as 6.75% on 4/23…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers 3M’s (MMM) Q1 2025 earnings call.
3M (MMM) is a global manufacturing company best known for turning science into practical applications across industrial, healthcare, consumer, and electronics markets. Its portfolio spans over 60,000 products, from Post-it Notes and medical dressings to advanced adhesives, abrasives, and optical films used in data centers and aerospace. The company operates through major segments like Safety & Industrial, Transportation & Electronics, and Consumer. On its Q1 call, management highlighted an accelerated product launch cadence and improved on-time delivery rates. However, the spotlight was on tariffs, $850M in annualized exposure, as 3M is working quickly to mitigate the $400M 2025 hit through sourcing shifts, factory flexibility, and “surgical” price actions. Order momentum and backlog growth (+low-teens) were positive, but caution remains around macro softness in autos, Europe, and consumer electronics. The full-year EPS guide was held at $7.60–$7.90 amid rising uncertainty. MMM was up 8.4% on 4/22 on better-than-expected results…
