Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Dollar General’s (DG) Q4 2024 earnings call.
Dollar General (DG) is the largest discount retailer in the US, operating over 20,000 stores primarily in rural and underserved areas. The company focuses on providing everyday essentials at low prices, catering to cost-conscious consumers. Its product mix is heavily weighted toward consumables like food, household goods, and health products, alongside seasonal, apparel, and home items. DG’s vast footprint and reliance on smaller-format stores make it a key indicator of low-income consumer spending trends. The company has also been expanding its pOpshelf concept, targeting more affluent shoppers with discretionary goods. DG continues to navigate a tough consumer environment, with 1.2% same-store sales growth driven entirely by higher transaction values, while customer traffic declined 1.1% due to financial strain. Trade-down behavior is accelerating, with mid-to-upper-income consumers shifting toward discount options. Shrink improvements added 68 basis points to margins, but inventory reductions (-6.9% per store) and SKU optimization were key profitability drivers. DG announced 96 store closures and 51 pOpshelf closures after a real estate review. Digital expansion is a focus, with 10,000 stores planned for delivery services by year-end. Tariffs are a watchpoint, but DG believes past experience will help mitigate the impact. On mixed results, DG shares were up as much as 7.6 in the AM trading hours (ET) of 3/13…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Vail Resorts’ (MTN) Q2 2025 earnings call.
Vail Resorts (MTN) is the leading operator of ski resorts in North America, owning and managing 42 mountain resorts across the US, Canada, and Europe. The company generates revenue through lift tickets, season passes (Epic Pass), lodging, dining, ski rentals, and retail sales. With the Epic Pass network, Vail has transformed the ski industry by prioritizing pre-committed revenue, stabilizing earnings despite weather volatility. The company serves both destination travelers and local skiers, offering luxury and high-volume resort experiences. The company provides insight into consumer travel demand, discretionary spending, and winter tourism trends. MTN benefitted this quarter from stable season pass sales and improved early-season conditions. However, destination visitation patterns continue to shift later in the season, impacting Q2 metrics. Local visitation remained strong, but total ski visits were down 2.5% season-to-date. A focus was its $100M cost-efficiency plan, expected to be fully realized by fiscal 2026. Vail raised Epic Pass prices by 7% and offered credits to Park City guests affected by the patrol strike. International demand at Whistler remains weaker, though bookings have improved. Investments in lift infrastructure, AI-driven guest services, and digital innovations continue. On mixed results, MTN shares rose around 6% by midday on 3/11…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Oracle’s (ORCL) Q3 2025 earnings call.
Oracle (ORCL) is a leader in enterprise software, cloud computing, and database solutions for businesses, governments, and organizations worldwide. The company’s core offerings include cloud infrastructure (OCI), multi-cloud database services, and AI-powered enterprise applications. Oracle’s dominance in databases, combined with its growing role in AI and cloud services, positions it as a key player in the race against hyperscalers like AWS, Google, and Microsoft. ORCL reported a record $48 billion in new bookings, pushing remaining performance obligations (RPO) to $130 billion, up 63% YoY. Cloud infrastructure revenue increased 51%, outpacing hyperscalers, while GPU consumption revenue nearly tripled amid soaring AI demand. ORCL’s AI Data Platform is set to integrate OpenAI and xAI models with its databases. Multi-cloud partnerships grew 10x YoY, with 40 new cloud regions planned. Project Stargate, Oracle’s massive AI training venture with NVIDIA and OpenAI, has yet to contribute to RPO but is expected to be a major driver. Capex will double to $16 billion in FY25 to meet demand. CEO Safra Catz expects even faster growth in FY26 and FY27. ORCL shares sank 4% at the open on 3/11 on worse-than-expected results and soft guidance…
