Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Constellation Brands’ (STZ) Q4 2025 earnings call.
Constellation Brands (STZ) is best known for its top-selling Mexican beer imports like Modelo, Corona, and Pacifico. The company also owns a premium wine and spirits business, with a focus on higher-end brands following recent divestitures of its mainstream wine labels. Serving primarily US consumers, STZ provides unique insight into consumer trends, particularly among Hispanic buyers who account for about half of its beer volume. STZ lowered its beer sales growth outlook to 0–3% for FY26 (previously 7–9%), citing persistent weakness among Hispanic consumers, who remain cautious due to inflation, immigration concerns, and job insecurity. Despite this, brand health remains strong with Modelo, Corona, and Pacifico all showing increased awareness and favorability. Tariff-related cost pressures, especially on aluminum cans, are expected to weigh on margins, but the company reaffirmed its 39–40% beer margin target. STZ shares opened 4.2% lower but ended the day up slightly on 4/10…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers CarMax’s (KMX) Q4 2025 earnings call.
CarMax (KMX) is the largest used car retailer in the United States, operating over 250 stores and a digital platform that enables customers to buy, sell, and finance vehicles seamlessly online or in-store. What sets KMX apart is its fully integrated omni-channel experience and its ability to scale vehicle sourcing, reconditioning, and financing through its proprietary tech and logistics infrastructure. KMX posted strong results with EPS up 81% to $0.58, as used unit comps rose 5.1%. Omni-channel sales reached 67% under a newly expanded definition, with digital tools like the AI assistant “Skye” answering over 50% of customer questions. Sourcing hit a record 269,000 vehicles, driven by a 114% YoY jump in dealer-sourced units. Management highlighted rising demand amid tariff-driven new car price fears and began recapturing Tier 1 loans into CarMax Auto Finance (CAF). There was also notable discussion about cost efficiency gains, a seemingly large focus for the company. Despite growth, results were weaker than expected, and amid macro volatility, shares fell close to 20% on 4/10…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Delta Air Lines’ (DAL) Q1 2025 earnings call.
Delta Air Lines (DAL) is one of the largest global airlines, offering passenger and cargo service to more than 275 destinations across six continents. DAL generates a significant portion of its revenue from premium seating, international travel, and a lucrative co-branded credit card partnership with American Express. The airline is a key barometer for consumer and corporate travel trends. DAL recorded March quarter revenue of $13 billion, but flagged a more difficult operating environment. Domestic main cabin demand was notably weak, prompting plans to cut second-half capacity growth to flat, with specific reductions in off-peak days and Southeastern markets. Premium and loyalty revenues remained resilient, with Amex remuneration up 13% and premium revenue up 7%. International bookings stayed strong, especially on transatlantic and Pacific routes. Executives also warned of tariff risks, stating they won’t accept deliveries of Airbus aircraft with a 20% surcharge. No full-year guidance was given due to macro uncertainty. On better-than-expected results, DAL shares were up as much as 23.4% on 4/9…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers WD-40’s (WDFC) Q2 2025 earnings call.
WD-40 (WDFC) is best known for its namesake Multi-Use Product, a household and industrial lubricant with global brand recognition. Beyond its iconic blue and yellow can, the company develops a range of maintenance products, including the WD-40 Specialist line, serving end users in automotive, industrial, and DIY markets across more than 176 countries. With a lean product portfolio and asset-light model, WDFC offers a window into global industrial demand, distributor dynamics, and consumer-level brand loyalty. WDFC reported 5% sales growth in Q2, or 9% in constant currency, led by double-digit volume gains in EIMEA and a $3.4M lift from Brazil’s new direct distribution model. Premium product sales rose sharply (Smart Straw/EZ Reach up 11%, Specialist up 12%) and e-commerce sales climbed 9% YTD. Gross margin hit 54.6%, up 220 bps, driven by lower can and chemical costs. Supply chain optimizations are expected to offset potential tariff impacts this year. WDFC is actively marketing its homecare and cleaning brands for divestiture, aiming to sharpen its focus on higher-margin maintenance products. Despite rising 3% at the open on 4/8, the stock reversed to end the day almost 9% lower…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Dave & Buster’s (PLAY) Q4 2024 earnings call.
Dave & Buster’s (PLAY) operates a chain of entertainment and dining venues that combine full-service restaurants with large-scale arcades. It appeals to a wide demographic, from families and young adults to corporate event groups. What’s notable is its high ROI on new store builds and innovative game rollouts that keep guests engaged and returning. This quarter’s call centered on undoing strategic missteps by prior leadership. Interim CEO Kevin Sheehan outlined a full operational reset, including a return to TV advertising, simplified promotions like the “Eat & Play Combo,” and reversing unpopular menu changes. A major refresh of arcade offerings is underway, including new attractions like the “Human Crane” and exclusive games such as UFC Challenge and Godzilla VR. Remodel efforts are being slowed and retooled for ROI, while traffic trends in March and April showed marked improvement. PLAY shares gapped up 13.8%, but those gains were completely erased intraday and the stock closed about 2% in the red…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Lamb Weston’s (LW) Q3 2025 earnings call.
Lamb Weston (LW) is one of the world’s leading producers of frozen potato products, best known for supplying French fries and related items to restaurants, food service distributors, and retailers across North America and internationally. With deep relationships in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) space and strong product innovation (like fridge-stable fries and cheese-filled potato bites), LW offers a unique window into global food service demand and consumer dining behavior. The company’s success hinges on agricultural planning, global logistics, and its ability to anticipate shifts in food consumption trends. This quarter reflected solid volume growth amid a tough macro backdrop. Volume rose 9% as the company regained lost ERP-transition customers and won new contracts, including a national rollout with a large QSR chain. Still, restaurant traffic remains weak. US QSR burger traffic fell 6% in February. Elevated inventories prompted line curtailments, hurting gross margins through higher cost absorption. A partnership with AlixPartners is driving a company-wide transformation, targeting cost, operational, and strategic improvements. Meanwhile, potato acreage was reduced due to soft demand, and tariff risks loom though near-term impacts are minimal. The stock resisted the broader selloff and rose more than 10% on 4/3 with better-than-expected results…
