Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Tesla’s (TSLA) Q1 2025 earnings call.
Tesla (TSLA) is a leader in electric vehicles, battery energy storage, and AI-powered automation. It designs and manufactures EVs such as the Model Y, Model 3, Cybertruck, and Semi, alongside battery products like the Megapack and Powerwall. TSLA is also pioneering full self-driving (FSD) software, humanoid robots (Optimus), and advanced factory automation through its “unboxed” manufacturing approach. With deep vertical integration, from lithium refining to AI chip design, TSLA serves a broad range of customers. TSLA used Q1 to refresh the Model Y simultaneously across all global factories and sold out remaining legacy models in major markets. Autonomy dominated the call, with Elon Musk reaffirming a June pilot for paid Robotaxi rides in Austin and forecasting millions of autonomous cars by late 2025. Tariffs remain a headwind, particularly in energy, but TSLA’s regionalized supply chain (~85% USMCA-compliant) and in-house battery production help mitigate risk. Energy storage hit record gross profit despite seasonal demand softness. Musk confirmed thousands of Optimus bots will be deployed by year-end, and the revolutionary “unboxed” Cybercab production process remains on track. While the call was more upbeat, the results were not so hot. Revenue fell 9% and net income plunged 71%. Vehicle deliveries dropped 13% to 336,681 units, marking the worst quarter since 2022. Factors included Model Y production line changeovers, price cuts, and backlash over Elon Musk’s political involvement. Musk announced a reduction in his government role to refocus on Tesla, which was one catalyst for the stock’s 7% move higher on 4/23…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers DR Horton’s (DHI) Q2 2025 earnings call.
DR Horton (DHI) is the largest homebuilder in the United States by volume. The company serves primarily first-time and entry-level buyers but also builds for move-up and rental markets. With operations in 36 states, DHI offers unique insight into both national housing demand and land acquisition dynamics. DHI reported EPS of $2.58, a miss of five cents, and revenues of $7.7 billion, missing the $8 billion estimate and down 15% YoY. Elevated mortgage rates and affordability pressures continued to weigh on demand, leading the company to increase incentives, particularly through mortgage rate buydowns. Cycle times improved roughly three weeks YoY, allowing faster inventory turns and leaner spec holdings. Management expects incentive costs to remain elevated but is confident in hitting Q3 guidance of 22,000–22,500 closings. Tariff uncertainty and rising land costs remain risks. DHI shares were up 3.1% on 4/17…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers UnitedHealth’s (UNH) Q1 2025 earnings call.
UnitedHealth (UNH) in the largest health care company in the United States by revenue, operating through two primary platforms: UnitedHealthcare, which provides health insurance to individuals, employers, and government programs, and Optum, which delivers health services including pharmacy benefits, care delivery, and technology-enabled solutions. It serves over 150 million individuals globally and is a key player in shaping how care is accessed, priced, and delivered. UNH lowered its full-year EPS outlook to $26–$26.50 following a spike in Medicare Advantage care utilization, with Q1 activity running at twice the expected rate, particularly in physician and outpatient services. The Optum Health segment was also pressured by poorly engaged new patients from exited plans and complexities transitioning to CMS’s V28 risk model. Group MA members facing steep premium hikes showed unexpected behavioral shifts, further driving costs. Still, the company pointed to strong growth in MA enrollment (+800k), pharmacy services (Optum Rx revenue up 14%), and AI use in call routing and claims management. The stock fell 22.4% on 4/17 after missing estimates…

OZK reported 3.8% non-annualized loan growth in Q1 and reaffirmed full-year guidance for mid- to high-single-digit loan growth despite pulling formal RESG origination guidance due to macro uncertainty and tariff-related deal hesitation. Executives cited $957M in cumulative sponsor equity support across 450 loan modifications as a key sign of strength. The CIB platform continues expanding, with new verticals and a natural resources group on the way. Deposit costs fell 29bps, one of the best performances in the industry, helping protect NIM despite rate cut pressures. OZK also provided detailed updates on its high-profile OREO (Other Real Estate Owned) real estate holdings, including renewed buyer interest and patience on Chicago and LA land deals.
