Luis Alvarez/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investment Thesis Note: This is an update to my previous article . Kits Eyecare ( KITS:CA ) dropped more than 20% in the days following the company's latest earnings report, but they have since recovered much of those losses. After revisiting the story, I think the glasses category looks stronger today, gross margins are moving in the right direction, and management even announced a buyback plan for up to 5% of the company. There are things to like here, but I think the potential return is no longer as attractive as it was when the stock briefly traded at C$11-12 after earnings. With shares having recovered, I'm leaning towards a Hold rating. Looking Beyond the Headline Numbers At the beginning of May, the company reported Q1 2026 results . While the shares have since recovered, they initially fell 24% in just 9 trading days following the earnings release! The quarter was pretty much in line with what analysts expected , with revenue beating by just 0.1% and EPS matching estimates. In my view, that may help explain the selloff because growth stocks need to exceed expectations, not simply meet them, as much of the expected growth is already priced into the shares (that's why growth stocks usually trade at high multiples). This leaves less room for positive surprises and can result in a market reaction like the one KITS experienced. In the quarter, sales grew 23% year-over-year or 27% on a constant currency basis, reaching $57.5 million. On the profitability side, Net Income increased by 23.2% to $2.0 million compared to $1.6 million a year ago. Q1 2026 Estimate Actual Beat Revenue $57.40M $57.47M 0.12% EPS GAAP $0.06 $0.06 0.00% Click to enlarge But there's a catch on the meet in expectation of profitability: a one-off tariff refund . With everything caused by Trump and his tariffs, many companies ended up getting refunds for the tariffs they had spent between the United States and Canada, as was the case with KITS. The fig...

Delta Air Lines Inc. may drop Safran SA as the supplier of its new business-class suites for key US transcontinental routes, after persistent supply-chain and regulatory delays stalled the rollout of its premium cabins . The world’s most profitable listed carrier is now evaluating a competing seat from Thompson Aero Seating Ltd. , Chief Marketing and Product Officer Ranjan Goswami said in an interview on Monday. Delta expects certification by mid-2028 instead and will proceed with whichever supplier secures approval first, he said. Delta had originally selected Safran, whose product was slated to debut two years ago but remains stuck in the Federal Aviation Administration ’s certification process. The airline is therefore considering Thompson Aero, produced by the AVIC -owned manufacturer, for aircraft serving business demand-heavy US east to west coast routes. The seat supplier switch was first shared on X by industry blogger JonNYC. While the Atlanta, Georgia-based carrier’s experience reflects broader industry-wide supply chain strains, the carrier’s decision to pit two competing seat programs against each other is an unusual step. Delta Rolls Out New Business Class Suites in Premium Push Delta Sees Robust Demand Going Into 2026 Amid Premium Focus Delta Strips Engines Off New Airbus Jets to Overcome Shortage The update came as Delta inaugurated its Los Angeles-Hong Kong service. Asia-Pacific head Jeff Moomaw noted Saturday that regional demand remains “robust and resilient” despite elevated fuel costs. The airline plans further expansion in the region including an additional Shanghai service, but does not currently support increasing the cap on US-China flights, which remains at 50 weekly round trips.
