Chart of the Day
Here is the one-year chart of Dutch Bros (BROS) as of September 8, 2025, when the stock was at $64.
Dutch Bros is one of the best restaurant concepts — and stocks — to own right now. Last quarter’s results were impressive.
The coffee & energy drink drive-thru shack delivered 37% profit growth on 28% revenue growth. Both numbers beat analyst estimates.
Management then guided future estimates higher, a sign that business is better than they expected. Dutch Bros is growing its “shops” and getting more revenue out of each shop as same-shop sales rose 6.1% during the quarter.
The only negative David Sharek, Founder of School Hard Stocks, saw in the earnings call was increasing coffee bean prices due to tariffs.
