A great American comeback Jeremy Bowman (Walt Disney): Few brands are as closely associated with American culture as Disney
For a century now, Disney has been a top name in family entertainment around the world, from Mickey Mouse to the -action Lilo & Stitch remake

Through the first half of the current fiscal year, adjusted earnings per are up 32% year over year to $3. 22, and operating income in entertainment jumped 79% to $2. 96 billion
In the direct-to-consumer segment, or ing, it flipped a $91 million loss to a $629 million fit

Continues to gain, becoming more and setting itself up for even stronger performance under better conditions
It's doing everything right to appeal to its core, younger clientele, branding itself with their values and being on social media, where they are
It positions itself as an eco-conscious, it has marketing campaigns that champion diversity and empowering women, and it has released several multimedia specials featuring well-known celebrities
These efforts are resonating with e
Beauty's young customers, and its low prices don't hurt, either
It had reported fantastic growth when inflation first skyrocketed and shoppers switched to cheaper brands, and that was a setup for slowing growth in the aftermath, which is what's happening now
But after this lumpy period, e
Should have steadier growth for many years
Even now, it's demonstrating growth in a tough environment
It has the No. 1 spot in color cosmetics unit, gaining 23% in fiscal 2025, while much of the competition is declining in unit. 2 in dollar, but it increased 24% year over year to slide into second place, and first-place Maybelline (owned by L'Oreal) declined 5%
The company has many growth drivers

The was started in 1992 by two brothers in Oregon, and as of March 31, it had 1,012 locations in 18 states
Since most states don't yet have a Dutch Bros store, the stock offers excellent return spects based on growth potential
Management is targeting 2,029 shops by 2029, and it continues to march toward that target
Revenue grew 29% year over year last quarter, driven by 30 new shop openings across 11 states
Importantly, it reported same-shop sales growth of 4. 7% in Q1, which is solid considering Starbucks continues to report declining sales
Dutch Bros is seeing positive growth signals that its brand is resonating in a competitive market for coffee
However, coffee only makes up roughly half of its
Dutch Bros also offers lemonades, teas, smoothies, and energy drinks, and it's currently testing food at select locations

A successful food pilot test indicates potential to capture incremental beverage sales and expand margins
The stock has climbed over 50% in the past year, but it still trades at a price-to-sales multiple of 5. 5, which is average for a fast-growing restaurant chain
This is a mising growth story that could make a very rewarding investment as Dutch Bros expands to all 50 states
