Tesla’s Second Quarter Results Weren’t Great
Image Source: Tesla. Tesla’s cash flow from operating activities was $2.54 billion in the quarter, while it spent $2.4 billion in capex, resulting in free cash flow of $146 million. Its cash and investment balance was up 20% from last year, to $36.8 billion. All things considered, Tesla’s second quarter results weren’t great. The company experienced a decline in vehicle deliveries, lower regulatory credit revenue, reduced vehicle pricing, and a decline in Energy Generation and Storage revenue due to lower average sales prices. Meanwhile, operating income was impacted from higher operating expenses driven by AI and other R&D projects. We remain on the sidelines.

Walmart Raises Outlook for Fiscal 2026
Image Source: Walmart. Looking ahead, Walmart issued guidance for the third quarter, with net sales expected to increase 3.75%-4.75% and operating income to increase 3%-6%. For fiscal 2026, the company raised its outlook for net sales growth to the range of 3.75%-4.75% (was 3%-4%) and adjusted earnings per share in the range of $2.52-$2.62 (was $2.50-$2.60) versus the $2.62 consensus mark. Walmart’s guidance for adjusted operating income growth of 3.5%-5.5% remained unchanged. We liked the guidance revisions at Walmart, but we remain cautious on the tariff impact on its business given an unchanged adjusted operating income growth target, despite a better top-line view. The high end of our fair value range stands at $113 per share.

McDonald’s Returns to Positive Comparable Sales Growth
Image Source: Valuentum. Looking to all of 2025, McDonald’s is targeting a full year adjusted operating margin in the mid-to-high 40% range, above the 46.3% adjusted operating margin in 2024. McDonald’s remains on pace to open approximately 2,200 restaurants globally this year (1,800 net). We liked McDonald’s return to positive comp growth in the second quarter, but we no longer include the idea in any newsletter portfolios.

Vertex Reports Strong Q2, Trial Setback Punishes Shares
Image Source: TradingView. Though the trial setback in pain management has sent shares of Vertex Pharma tumbling, we continue to like Vertex’s net cash rich balance sheet, cystic fibrosis franchise, its groundbreaking CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited therapy and its novel non-opioid pain medicine. Shares remain a holding in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. Our $445 per share fair value estimate remains unchanged at this time.

Chipotle Now Expects Flat Comps for 2025
Image Source: Valuentum. Looking to 2025, Chipotle now expects flat full year comparable restaurant sales (was low to mid-single digits) and plans to open 315-345 new company-owned restaurants with over 80% having a Chipotlane. We like Chipotle’s long-term restaurant growth potential and believe its negative comps registered in the second quarter are temporary. Shares remain an idea in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio.

Domino’s Same Store Sales Growth Beats Expectations
Image Source: Domino's. During the quarter, Domino’s global net store growth was 178, consisting of 30 net store openings in the U.S. and 148 net store openings internationally. Net income in the quarter declined 7.7%, but this was primarily due to an unfavorable charge of $27.4 million associated with the company’s investment in DPC Dash Ltd and a higher effective tax rate. Diluted earnings per share was $3.81 in the second quarter, down from $4.03 in the second quarter of 2024. Net cash provided by operating activities was $366.9 million in the first half of 2025, up from $274.2 million, and free cash flow was $331.7 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $230.5 million in the first half of 2024. We continue to like Domino’s as an idea in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio.
