Why Dutch Bros Stock Jumped 10% Today
Shares of Dutch Bros (NYSE: BROS) were buzzing and popping on Thursday. The coffee chain, famous for its friendly service and drive-thru focus, posted a fresh first-quarter report on Wednesday evening.

By 12:20 p.m. ET, it had cooled down slightly to an 8.2% overnight gain.
The average Wall Street analyst had expected adjusted first-quarter earnings of roughly $0.11 per share, based on top-line revenue in the neighborhood of $343.6 million.

Management held their full-year guidance targets steady, but noted that many metrics are trending above the midpoint of earlier expectations.
