Let's take a look at firms raising/lowering their dividends this week. Apr 28, 2025
Domino’s Pizza Misses First Quarter U.S. Same Store Sales Consensus Estimate
Image Source: Domino's. Excluding foreign currency impacts, Domino’s income from operations increased 1.4% on a year-over-year basis in the quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities was $179.1 million in the quarter with the firm spending $14.7 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $164.4 million in the period, up 59.1% from last year’s quarter. During the first quarter of 2025, Domino’s repurchased 115,280 shares for a total of $50 million. It still has $764.3 million in remaining authorized amount for share repurchases. We continue to like the long-term picture at Domino’s, and the company remains an idea in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. Apr 25, 2025

Chipotle’s Comparable Restaurant Sales Fall in First Quarter
Image Source: Valuentum. During the first quarter, Chipotle opened 57 company-owned restaurants with 48 of them including a Chipotlane. Management noted that “Chipotlanes continue to perform well and are helping enhance guest access and convenience, as well as increase new restaurant sales, margins, and returns,” but comparable restaurant sales still faced headwinds due to lower transactions, offset in part by an increase in the average check. For 2025, management anticipates full year comparable restaurant sales growth in the low single digit range and for the firm to add 315-345 new company-owned restaurants with over 80% having a Chipotlane. Though Chipotle’s first quarter results weren’t great, we continue to like its long-term story. Apr 23, 2025
Philip Morris Hits Record High!
Image Source: TradingView. Looking to all of 2025, Philip Morris’ net revenue growth is targeted around 6-8% on an organic basis, with organic operating income growth to be between 10.5%-12.5%. The tobacco giant expects reported diluted earnings per share in the range of $7.01-$7.14, with adjusted diluted earnings per share targeted at $7.36-$7.49 (up 12%-14%) and adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding currency, expected to be between $7.26-$7.39 (up 10.5%-12.5%). 2025 operating cash flow is targeted to be more than $11 billion at prevailing exchange rates, with capital expenditures of around $1.5 billion, which includes further investments in ZYN capacity in the U.S. We're huge fans of Philip Morris' stock.

Tesla’s Revenue Falls in First Quarter, Pulls 2025 Outlook
Image Source: Tesla. Tesla’s non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders dropped 39% in the first quarter, while non-GAAP earnings per share fell 40%. Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $2.2 billion in the first quarter, while capital expenditures fell 46%, to $1.5 billion, resulting in free cash flow of $664 million in the period. Tesla’s cash and investments balance increased $0.4 billion at the end of the quarter, to $37 billion. Due to “the impacts of shifting global trade policy on the automotive and energy supply chains,” management pulled its 2025 guidance, noting that it will revisit it in its second quarter update. CEO Elon Musk said that his DOGE work is mostly done and beginning in May, his time allocated to DOGE will drop significantly. We like Tesla, but don’t include it in any newsletter portfolio.

Lockheed Martin Reaffirms 2025 Outlook
Image: Lockheed Martin’s shares have been on a wild ride the past few years. During the first quarter, Lockheed paid cash dividends of $796 million while it repurchased 1.7 million shares for $750 million. Looking to all of 2025, management expects sales in the range of $73.75-$74.75 billion, business segment operating profit of $8.1-$8.2 billion, and diluted earnings per share of $27.00-$27.30. For 2025, cash flow from operations is targeted at $8.5-$8.7 billion with capital spending expected at $1.9 billion, resulting in free cash flow in the range of $6.6-$6.8 billion for the year. We continue to like Lockheed Martin as a core idea in the simulated Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio. Shares yield 2.9% at the time of this writing. Apr 22, 2025
Netflix’s Operating Margin Continues to Delight
Image: Netflix has a long runway of growth given market share opportunities. Looking to the second quarter, Netflix expects revenue growth of 15.4% (17% on a foreign exchange neutral basis) as the company benefits from recent price changes and ongoing strength in membership and advertising sales. The company expects an operating margin of 33.3% in the quarter, roughly 6 percentage points better on a year-over-year basis. Netflix continues to expect 2025 revenue in the range of $43.5-$44.5 billion and an operating margin of 29% based on foreign exchange rate levels at the start of the year. We like Netflx’s market share growth opportunities and view shares as relatively immune to tariff pressures and broader macroeconomic uncertainty. Our fair value estimate stands at $1,060 per share.

Key Comments from the Banks This Earnings Season
Image: The big banks have done well recently. Let's read through key comments from banking executives this earnings season. Apr 4, 2025
Trump Tariffs Higher than Expected; What We're Doing
The Trump tariff increases came in larger than what we were expecting, and it remains to be seen how they will flow through the global economy, as we monitor potential retaliatory tariffs from other countries. As it relates to the equity markets, we’re taking a wait and see approach at the moment as we monitor new policy changes related to trade, immigration, fiscal (tax), and regulations. In short, we’re not overreacting to the sell off as we won’t have a great handle on the tariff impact to companies for a few quarters when they report results post-tariff increases. That said, we’re expecting continued market volatility, with meaningful risk to the downside, before trade uncertainty alleviates in the coming months.
