Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers AeroVironment’s (AVAV) Q3 2026 earnings call.
AeroVironment (AVAV) is a US defense technology company that develops autonomous drones, loitering munitions, counter-drone systems, directed-energy weapons, and space communications technologies for the US military and allied nations. Its portfolio includes battlefield-proven systems like the Switchblade loitering munition, Puma and Jump reconnaissance drones, Titan RF counter-UAS (Uncrewed Aircraft System) jammers, and the LOCUST directed-energy anti-drone system. AVAV reported a mixed quarter, with results missing expectations due to government funding delays, supply-chain shipping issues, and the termination of the Space Force’s SCAR (Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource) program. Despite the short-term setback, management emphasized strong underlying demand, pointing to $1.1B in funded backlog and $4.6B in year-to-date awards, and guided for record Q4 revenue with FY26 sales expected between $1.85B–$1.95B. The company is ramping production aggressively, including a new 140,000-sq-ft Utah factory capable of producing $2B of systems annually, to meet surging demand for Switchblade drones, Titan counter-UAS systems, and reconnaissance platforms. Management repeatedly linked demand growth to current geopolitical tensions, noting that conflicts involving large-scale drone warfare, including Iran’s regional attacks, are accelerating global military demand for both offensive drones and defensive counter-drone systems. Shares fell as much as 10% on 3/11…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Kohl’s (KSS) Q4 2025 earnings call.
Kohl’s (KSS) is a US department store chain with roughly 1,150 locations that sells apparel, footwear, home goods, beauty, and accessories, targeting primarily low- to middle-income households. The retailer blends national brands with a large portfolio of proprietary labels (Sonoma, LC Lauren Conrad, Tek Gear, Jumping Beans) and has leaned heavily on its Sephora at Kohl’s shop-in-shop partnership to attract younger shoppers and drive traffic. Kohl’s is a useful barometer for value-oriented discretionary spending in the US. The company reported a difficult but stabilizing quarter as comparable sales fell 2.8% and net sales declined 3.9%, though EPS of $1.07 benefited from tight inventory control and expense cuts. Management attributed weak traffic largely to financially strained value consumers and admitted missteps in fall seasonal inventory allocation and insufficient promotional intensity during key holiday periods like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The turnaround strategy centers on restoring proprietary brands, sharpening price points (including more $10-and-under items), improving “trip assurance” by increasing inventory depth, and driving traffic through Sephora, impulse merchandising, and digital improvements. Digital sales rose low single digits, but conversion remains an issue. Guidance for 2026 calls for comps between down 2% and flat with EPS of $1.00–$1.60, reflecting cautious expectations as lower-income shoppers remain pressured by macro conditions. KSS reported a revenue miss on stronger EPS, as the stock rose as much as 11% on 3/10, but completely erased those gains intraday…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Vail Resorts’ (MTN) Q2 2026 earnings call.
Vail Resorts (MTN) operates some of the world’s largest ski destinations, including Vail, Breckenridge, Park City, and Whistler, while also running lodging, ski schools, rentals, and retail tied to mountain tourism. Its Epic Pass subscription model has changed the ski industry by locking in demand months before the winter season, with passholders now representing roughly 75% of visits. The company provides insight into premium leisure travel, weather sensitivity in outdoor recreation, and consumer willingness to prepay for experiences. Management described the season as the worst Rockies weather environment in company history, with snowfall down 43% YoY and February temperatures 9°F above average, limiting terrain openings to 70–80% of acreage at some resorts. As a result, visitation was down 13%, revenue was down 5%, and resort EBITDA was down 8%. Despite the disruption, the Epic Pass model helped stabilize results. Pass sales were up 3% entering the season, softening the revenue decline even as skier visits fell 12% season-to-date. Vail is responding with more targeted pricing and marketing, including a 20% pass discount for ages 13–30 and new lift-ticket products like Epic Friends and advance-purchase tickets. MTN shares fell 5.4% at the open on 3/10 after posting EPS and revenue misses, but the stock erased the loss intraday and was in positive territory an hour into the trading session…

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 covers what each company does, what this quarter’s results say about their growth outlooks, and their histories of delivering triple plays.

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Brown-Forman’s (BF/B) Q3 2026 earnings call.
Brown-Forman (BF/B) is one of the largest American-owned spirits companies, best known for Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, the world’s most widely sold American whiskey. Its portfolio spans bourbon, tequila, rum, gin, and a growing ready-to-drink segment, with products sold in over 170 countries. Brown-Forman reaffirmed its full-year fiscal 2026 guidance despite a challenging backdrop, projecting a low single-digit organic net sales decline trending toward the stronger end of the range. The US spirits market remains in low single-digit decline, though management pointed to modestly improving Nielsen trends over the past two months as a potential green shoot. Canada remains a major drag, with organic net sales down nearly 60% as American products stay off most provincial shelves. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Blackberry has been a standout, ranking as the second largest new spirits product by value in Nielsen, while New Mix is being tested across seven to eight US states. Management flagged 100–150 basis points of gross margin compression over roughly two years from barrels produced during the early 2020s, and pushed back firmly against expectations of industry-wide price cuts. Despite better-than-expected results, BF/B shares fell as much as 8.3% on 3/4, though shares rebounded some intraday…
