Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Union Pacific’s (UNP) Q4 2025 earnings call.
Union Pacific (UNP) operates one of North America’s largest freight rail networks, spanning 23 states across the western two-thirds of the United States. The company moves coal, grain, chemicals, intermodal containers, automotive products, and industrial materials, serving as a critical link in American supply chains. UNP’s performance can speak to the health of the US industrial economy, agricultural exports, energy markets, and truck-to-rail transportation. UNP reported record full-year results with EPS of $11.98 (up 8%), despite 4% volume decline in Q4. The company set best-ever records across safety, freight car velocity (239 miles/day), and terminal dwell (19.8 hours), the average time a railcar sits idle between trips. However, management issued conservative 2026 guidance with mid-single-digit EPS growth, citing 4%+ rail inflation, weak pricing power in agricultural and domestic intermodal markets, and deteriorating macro indicators. The pending $85 billion Norfolk Southern merger dominated the discussion. The STB requested additional information, including walk-away terms, delaying the application but not changing the first-half 2027 closing target. Management expressed confidence in approval, emphasizing competitive benefits and customer optionality. Reporting in-line EPS on a revenue miss, UNP shares rose 0.7% on 1/27…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers ASML’s (ASML) Q4 2025 earnings call.
ASML (ASML) is the world’s sole provider of Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines, massive, €350 million rigs that use plasma-generated light to etch circuits onto silicon at the atomic scale. By serving giants like TSMC, Intel, and Samsung, ASML gives insight into the global tech roadmap. Without their systems, the advanced chips powering AI, 5G, and high-performance computing simply cannot be built. ASML concluded 2025 “with a bang,” reporting record Q4 net bookings of €13.2 billion, more than doubling year-over-year. This is fueled by the AI arms race, as customers accelerate transitions to 3nm and 2nm nodes. Management raised its 2026 revenue guidance to a range of €34 billion to €39 billion, citing a perfect storm of demand for AI logic and high-bandwidth memory (HBM). To sharpen its competitive edge, ASML announced a streamlining of 1,700 positions to focus on engineering innovation. EPS of $7.35 missed the $7.58 estimate on better-than-expected revenue, and shares fell roughly 2% on 1/28…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Starbucks’ (SBUX) Q1 2026 earnings call.
Starbucks (SBUX) is the world’s largest premium coffeehouse chain. The company sells handcrafted coffee and espresso beverages, teas, food, and ready-to-drink products, while also running one of the most sophisticated loyalty ecosystems in retail with over 35 million active US Rewards members. Starbucks serves daily ritual-driven consumers, from commuters to afternoon social customers, and offers insight into global consumer demand, pricing power, labor dynamics, commodity inflation (coffee), and urban real estate trends. Starbucks delivered a clear turnaround inflection in Q1, with global comps up 4% and US transactions growing year-over-year for the first time in eight quarters, driven by both rewards and non-rewards customers. Revenue rose 5% to $9.9B, while operating margin fell 180 bps to 10.1% due to labor investments, tariffs, and elevated coffee costs, which management expects to ease in the back half of FY26. The Green Apron service model improved throughput and customer satisfaction, while menu simplification and protein-driven innovation supported traffic. International comps rose 5%, with China comps accelerating to 7%. Starbucks also outlined its China joint venture with Boyu Capital. While missing EPS estimates, revenue came in better-than-expected, and SBUX shares opened 6.6% higher on 1/28, though lost momentum through the session…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Polaris’ (PII) Q4 2025 earnings call.
Polaris (PII) is a North American powersports manufacturer, producing off-road vehicles (ORVs like side-by-sides and ATVs under brands including RZR, Ranger, and XPEDITION), snowmobiles, motorcycles, three-wheelers (Slingshot), and marine products (pontoon boats under Bennington, Godfrey, and Hurricane). With approximately 2,000 dealers across North America, Polaris serves both recreational consumers and commercial customers in agriculture, ranching, and construction. PII had an exceptionally challenging 2025, facing $215 million in tariff headwinds, its largest obstacle since the pandemic, yet still gained market share across all segments. The company reduced China-sourced materials from 18% to 14% of COGS, targeting below 5% by 2027. However, consumer demand remains bifurcated. Utility segments show strength driven by commercial buyers benefiting from tax incentives, while recreational purchases stall due to elevated interest rates and macro uncertainty. The pending Indian Motorcycle separation, closing Q1 2026, will add $0.75-$0.80 to EPS. For 2026, Polaris guides to 1-3% sales growth (7-9% organic ex-Indian) despite $90 million in incremental tariffs. PII beat EPS and revenue estimates, though cut guidance and shares fell as much as 8.6% on 1/27…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers NextEra Energy’s (NEE) Q4 2025 earnings call.
NextEra Energy (NEE) is America’s largest electric utility company by market cap, operating Florida Power & Light (FPL), which serves over 12 million people across Florida, and NextEra Energy Resources, the world’s largest generator of renewable energy from wind and solar. The company has built more renewables, battery storage, and gas-fired generation than any competitor over the past two decades. NextEra provides insight into the intersection of data center power demand, grid modernization, and the economics of serving hyperscale loads while maintaining residential affordability. NextEra delivered $3.71 adjusted EPS (up 8% YoY) and guided to 8%+ annual growth through 2035. The call centered on explosive AI-driven power demand. Management disclosed 20 GW of data center interest in Florida (9 GW in advanced discussions) and a 30 GW nationwide backlog. The company is pioneering a “bring your own generation” (BYOG) model where hyperscalers fund infrastructure buildout, addressing the affordability crisis spotlighted by the White House’s January PJM framework. NextEra secured solar/battery supply through 2029 and 4 GW of gas turbine capacity with GE Vernova, while pursuing nuclear restarts and 1.7 GW of recontracting opportunities. Florida’s new 4-year rate agreement enables $90-100B in infrastructure investment while keeping bills 30% below the national average. Despite missing revenue estimates, NEE beat on EPS and the stock was up as much as 3.7% on 1/27…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Intel’s (INTC) Q4 2025 earnings call.
Intel (INTC) is a semiconductor leader transitioning into a dual-threat design and foundry company. It produces essential microprocessors for PCs and data centers, alongside custom ASICs and advanced packaging solutions. Intel is the only firm developing and manufacturing leading-edge nodes on US soil, serving massive tech ecosystems and government defense programs. INTC beat earnings expectations, but is struggling to meet a massive surge in AI-driven demand. Management is pivoting capacity away from low-end PCs to prioritize high-margin Xeon server chips, causing a supply trough in early 2026. Despite $13.7 billion in revenue, depleted inventory buffers mean the company is currently “hand-to-mouth” on wafer supply. Investors are focused on the successful ramp of the 18A process and the 14A roadmap, which has already garnered industry-standard PDK status. Other highlights included a $5 billion investment from NVIDIA and a custom ASIC business that hit a $1 billion annual run rate, signaling Intel’s growing role in the specialized AI hardware market. The stock got decimated on 1/23, down 17% on the day…
