Chart of the Day
Here is the one-year chart of Dutch Bros (BROS) as of February 23, 2026, when the stock was at $47.
Last quarter, Dutch Bros reported an impressive 143% profit growth on a strong 29% gain in revenue. Same-store sales increased a solid 8% from a year ago, largely supported by a 5% rise in transactions, indicating more customers visiting rather than just price increases.
Dutch Bros also continued its expansion strategy, opening 55 new shops last quarter, bringing its total store count to 1,136.
Looking ahead, management guided for strong but moderating growth in 2026, projecting around 23% revenue growth and 3-5% same-store sales growth. This will be supported by the ongoing expansion plans, with the company targeting at least 181 new store openings in 2026.
However, management also warned of potential margin pressure, noting that elevated prices are expected to persist in 2026.
