Domino’s Remains a Key Idea in the Best Ideas Newsletter Portfolio
Image: Domino’s shares have advanced nicely since the beginning of 2023. For fiscal 2024, net cash provided by operating activities increased 5.8% on a year-over-year basis, while capital expenditures expanded 7.1%, resulting in free cash flow growth of 5.5%, to $512 million. The company experienced global net store growth of 775 for fiscal 2024, and we continue to like Domino’s future growth prospects. During the fourth quarter, the company repurchased a total of $112 million in stock, and as of December 29, had total remaining buyback authorization of $814.3 million. We like Domino’s long-term picture and include the firm as a holding in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. Feb 21, 2025

Vertex Pharma Is One of Our Favorite Biotechs
Image: Vertex Pharma has performed quite well since the beginning of 2023. Looking to 2025, Vertex expects total revenue of $11.75-$12 billion, which includes expectations for continued growth in its cystic fibrosis portfolio, “including the U.S. launch of ALYFTREK, as well as continued uptake of CASGEVY in multiple regions; and early contributions from the launch of JOURNAVX." Cash and total marketable securities as of the end of last year were $11.2 billion, compared to $13.7 billion at the end of 2023 due to the cash consideration paid to acquire Alpine and share buybacks. Vertex had no traditional debt. We continue to like Vertex Pharma as a holding in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. Feb 7, 2025

During the fourth quarter of 2024, Chipotle bought back ~$330 million of stock, and as of the end of last year, the company had $1 billion remaining available under share repurchase authorizations. Looking to 2025, management expects full year comparable restaurant sales growth in the low to mid-single digit range and plans for 315-345 new company-owned restaurant openings with over 80% having a Chipotlane. At the end of 2024, Chipotle had 3,746 total restaurants, and the firm is targeting as many as 7,000 restaurants in North America alone. We like Chipotle’s long-term growth potential, and the firm remains a holding in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. Feb 4, 2025

ASML Holding’s Bookings Soar in Fourth Quarter
Image Source: TradingView. We continue to like ASML as an idea in the ESG Newsletter portfolio, and the company’s bookings number for the fourth quarter was solid, helping to alleviate some concerns that arose by its weak third-quarter bookings result. The company’s first-quarter outlook for net sales came in ahead of what the Street was looking for, and we liked that ASML reiterated its total net sales expectation for 2025 to be between €30 billion and €35 billion.

Apple Reports Best Quarter Ever Despite Declining iPhone, China Sales
Image Source: TradingView. During the quarter, Apple returned to shareholders $3.9 billion in dividends and equivalents and $23.3 billion in share repurchases. Looking to the March quarter, management expects total company revenue to grow low to mid-single-digits year-over-year, with Services revenue to grow low double-digits year-over-year. It expects its gross margin to be between 46.5%-47.5%, about in line with the December quarter. We continue to be fans of Apple’s large installed base (2.35 billion active devices) and growing, high-margin Services business, and the company remains a key holding in the newsletter portfolios.
