Shares of BRC Inc. (Black Rifle Coffee Company) (NYSE: BRCC) , a premium coffee company focused on saving the veteran, active military, and first-responder communities, are soaring 24% higher as of 1 p.m. ET time Tuesday. BRC reported first-quarter earnings yesterday afternoon that sailed past analysts' expectations. Sales grew 21%, and the company reached GAAP breakeven profitability, reporting net income of $0.00 for the quarter. Analysts were expecting a loss of $0.01 and revenue growth of only 9%, so its outsize growth helped prompt today's ballooning share price. While BRC's share price may lead investors to think it is a "penny stock," the company's return to sales growth and improving profitability make it a consumer goods stock worth watching, in my opinion. Over the last year, BRC's retail bagged coffee grew sales by 33%, while the coffee industry grew by 12%. Best yet, despite selling premium-priced coffee, the company's velocity (how quickly its coffee sells) soared to over 101%, meaning it sells more quickly than its cheaper peers -- quite a feat.

Shares of BellRing Brands (NYSE: BRBR) turned sour this morning. After a disappointing Q2 report with a side of sour full-year guidance, the stock crashed as much as 46.9% lower in the morning session. As of 12:46 a.m. ET, BellRing still showed a 42.4% single-day price drop. Image source: Getty Images. The company behind protein-boosted products PowerBar, Dymatize, and Premier Protein saw 2% year-over-year sales growth in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. Adjusted earnings fell from $0.53 to $0.14 per share. The analyst consensus had called for 3.5% revenue growth and earnings near $0.32 per share. Continue reading

A Swedish firm’s pursuit of the product testing company Intertek suggests investors’ price expectations are yet to be shifted by the Iran war It was a bad day for the FTSE 100 index on Tuesday – down 1.4% – but the puzzle in many quarters is why share prices haven’t fallen further since the start of the US-Israel war on Iran. The index is still up by a couple of percentage points since new year, which is not a bet most would have made at the time if they had been told an inflationary energy price shock lay around the corner. An absence of Iran-related corporate profits warnings partly explains the relative resilience, even if those usually take a while to arrive. So, too, the fact that the Footsie is overpopulated with overseas earners for whom the US economy, which isn’t suffering Europe’s soaring natural gas prices, matters more than their home market. And higher oil prices obviously help the likes of Shell and BP. Continue reading...

Jae Young Ju/iStock via Getty Images Onsemi ( ON ) produced stronger-than-expected second-quarter guidance due to a surge in AI data center demand coupled with the automotive and industrial markets finally reaching an inflection point. "AI DC grew 30% QQ in 1Q vs. expectations of high teens and is now expected to double YY in 2026, driven by broader Power Tree adoption across multiple XPU vendors and all leading hyperscalers," said Evercore ISI analysts Mark Lipaics and Affan Ahmed in a Tuesday investor note. "Mgmt cited 30+ active programs and estimates per rack content steps from $9,500 at 120kW to $115,000 at 800V." Evercore also highlighted 5% year-over-year growth in Onsemi's auto segment, which was the first growth reported following seven consecutive quarters of decline. "China auto revs grew YY despite the China passenger vehicle market being down -6%," Lipacis noted. "Mgmt indicated that ON's SiC share at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show is about 55% across new EV models. Management indicated auto strength was led by China, followed by North America, while Europe remains the laggard as the regional auto market has yet to recover." Evercore retained its Outperform rating and increased its price target to $121 from $80. Similarly, Susquehanna reiterated its Positive rating on the stock and increased its target to $120 from $100. "Overall, the company finally called the bottom for the cycle as several indicators materially improved through the quarter," said Susquehanna analysts, led by Christopher Roland, in a note. "More specifically, management noted lead times started to extend in 1Q as the broader market is recovering in earnest." "Industrial was significantly better than expectations, driven primarily by broad-based strength in traditional markets," he added. Onsemi shares edged up 0.5% by afternoon trading on Tuesday. Other analog semiconductor stocks were inching up as well. Texas Instruments ( TXN ) increased 1%, Analog Devices ( ADI ) and NXP Semiconductor...

JHVEPhoto Shopify ( SHOP ) was added as a new long idea at Hedgeye. "Shopify is structurally advantaged as commerce shifts from “click-based” to “agent-executed," Hedgeye analyst Andrew Freedman wrote in a note on Monday. "In an agentic commerce world, discovery, comparison, and checkout are abstracted away from the consumer interface and handled by AI agents. SHOP effectively becomes default commerce infrastructure for agents, not just a storefront provider." "In a world where agents choose what to buy and where to buy it, the key bottleneck becomes trusted identity, payment credentials, and conversion optimization," Freedman added. "Shop Pay is already one of the highest-converting checkout rails on the internet." Freedman added that " Agent-driven commerce replaces clicks and impressions with conversion-based economics (e.g., cost-per-outcome, agent-mediated take rates). This structurally benefits Shopify, which sits closest to the transaction." Shares of Shopify ( SHOP ) plunged 15% on Tuesday after reporting Q1 results , given Q2 outlook.

Trump Admin Working To Ease Memory Chip Crunch And Soaring Prices With Supply Chain Coalition In a world where high commodity prices are the cure for high commodity prices, it was only a matter of time before we saw a surge in oil output in response to near-record oil prices, as Diamondback did ovenright . The same logic applies to memory chips, another commodity, whose prices have exploded in recent months due to soaring demand by data centers. And while markets expect prices to drop once more supply comes on line, the proposed timline - which spans well into 2027 - is unacceptable, meanwhile the raging memory prices are translating into higher prices for virtually all electronics at a time when inflation is already set to explode higher. Which is why the US is working to address the global memory chip shortage through a supply chain coalition with allies in Asia, Europe and the Middle East, Nikkei Asia reported citing a US official. The State Department unveiled the Pax Silica initiative in December, a coalition with allies to secure supply chains involving semiconductors, artificial intelligence and critical minerals while reducing dependence on China. Fourteen countries including India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and the Philippines have joined the coalition, with Norway set to do so this week, Jacob Helberg, undersecretary of state for economic affairs, told Nikkei Asia on the sidelines of the 2026 Milken Institute Global Conference. Jacob Helberg, U.S. undersecretary of state for economic affairs, speaks at the 2026 Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles on May 5. The global memory chip supply shortage continues to worsen as the industry struggles to keep pace with skyrocketing demand boosted by artificial intelligence, weighing on tech companies big and small from AI chipmakers to Apple. The Trump administration is looking to address the memory chip crunch by leveraging the supply chain coalition, particularly with Asian allies such as South Kor...

格隆汇5月6日｜五位熟悉讨论情况的消息人士称，七国集团正在商讨创建一个常设秘书处，以确保旨在增加关键矿产供应的各项举措能够超越集团轮值主席国的任期而持续存在。两位熟悉讨论情况的消息人士表示，欧洲拒绝了建立单一共享储备的想法，而是倾向于各国控制自己的储备。同时，欧洲国家政府也不希望美国领导该项目，因为它们担心在危机时期获取关键矿产的渠道可能受到限制。自今年年初以来，欧盟一直在致力于自己的试点储备项目，由意大利、法国和德国牵头。消息人士透露，该秘书处可能设在国际能源署（IEA）或经合组织（OECD）。这两个组织均设在巴黎。目前尚不清楚该秘书处何时能成立，但其可能有助于执行6月七国集团领导人会议上就关键原材料作出的决定，其中可能包括储备措施。

Earnings Call Insights: BRC Inc. (BRCC) Q1 2026 Management view CEO Chris Mondzelewski said, "2026 is off to a strong start with first quarter performance reflecting meaningful progress against our core growth priorities," and pointed to retail execution where "distribution gains across key retail partners are translating into higher volume, better shelf productivity and improved SKU level performance." Mondzelewski emphasized the shelf-space strategy: "Execution against our land and expand strategy continues to translate into gains in retail breadth and shelf presence," adding that the company expanded "distribution by approximately 7 points of ACV year-over-year" and that "the average grocer is now carrying nearly two more Black Rifle items than a year ago." On category share, Mondzelewski said, "According to Nielsen, Black Rifle Coffee grew 34.6% in the quarter," and added, "Bagged coffee dollar share increased 55 basis points to 3.3% and pods increased 45 basis points to 2.2% at the end of the quarter." CFO Matthew Amigh said, "In the first quarter, net revenue increased 21% year-over-year," and attributed the increase to wholesale and direct-to-consumer, including "Wholesale revenue increased 31.5% year-over-year" and "Direct-to-consumer revenue increased 7% in the first quarter."

Medifast ( MED ) shares surged nearly 18% on Tuesday, jumping from yesterday's close of $10.63 to around $12.63 after the company reported its Q1 2026 earnings results. The stock also sharply outperformed the broader S&P 500 ( SP500 ) with a 15.13% gain on the one-day chart. On a YTD basis, Medifast is now up 18.26%. The rally came even as the company reported weaker YoY financial results, as investors focused on its cost-cutting efforts, strong balance sheet, and long-term transformation strategy. Q1 revenue fell 34.3% to $76M, mainly due to a sharp decline in active earning coaches, which dropped 44.9% to 14,000. The company said client acquisition remains pressured by the rapid adoption of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs. However, average revenue per active coach rose 19.2% to $5,432, showing stronger productivity from its remaining coach base. Gross profit declined 38.6% to $51.8M, while SG&A expenses fell 35.6% as the company reduced costs. Moreover, net loss also widened to $2.1M, or $0.19 per share. Despite the slowdown, the company ended the quarter with $168.9M in cash and no debt. Management also said the company has meaningfully realigned its cost structure to current market conditions and expects to generate over $30M in future savings. It also plans to launch a new metabolic health system in July, which could fuel the price rally further. For now, both SA quant ratings and Wall Street analysts continue to maintain a “hold” view on the stock despite a sharp post-earnings rally.
