Recent News
November 5, 2025 — Dutch Bros announced third-quarter results and highlighted a pipeline of new shops and elevated same-shop sales through October. November 18, 2025 — trade publications and industry outlets reiterated the company’s plan to grow to roughly 2,029 locations by 2029. November 2025 — coverage also emphasized expansion into new states and media reporting that franchise opportunities remain limited to internal employees.
Technical Analysis
ADX at 19.63 indicates no established trend; this low strength suggests technical signals lack conviction versus the company’s expansion narrative and the current WMDST valuation of over-valued.
DI+: 19.08 showing a peak & reversal and DI-: 26.81 increasing — both directional readings point to bearish directional pressure, tilting near-term price bias toward downside relative to the stated valuation.
MACD sits negative at -1.02 and is decreasing, trading below its signal line (-0.56); that combination indicates prevailing bearish momentum and no confirmed bullish momentum shift for price to re-rate the valuation higher.
MRO reads 19.17 with a peak & reversal; this positive MRO implies price sits above the oscillator’s target and carries a corrective bias that could relieve upside valuation pressure.
RSI at 44.19 with a peak & reversal places momentum below neutral and supports short-term selling pressure. Price trades below the 50-day ($54.64) and 200-day ($63.31) averages, the 12-day EMA is decreasing, and the close ($50.87) sits near or below the lower Bollinger band (1x lower $51.38), all consistent with short-term weakness against the stock’s long-term expansion story.
Fundamental Analysis
Revenue and operating results: total revenue $423,584,000 for the period matches the company’s reported quarterly top line. Reported same-store sales growth and new-shop productivity underpinned top-line expansion referenced in recent filings.
Profitability: EBIT $41,639,000 and EBITDA $70,705,000 translate to an EBIT margin of 9.83%. EBIT margin moved QoQ -22.40% and YoY -0.10%, indicating compressed margin on the most recent quarter-over-quarter comparison while remaining positive on a trailing basis.
Margins and cash flow: gross margin 25.21% and operating margin 9.80% remain positive, with operating cash flow $89,125,000 and free cash flow $18,920,000; free cash flow yield equals 0.26%, a low cash-yield profile given current market capitalization and enterprise figures and a driver of the valuation assessment.
Leverage and liquidity: cash $267,195,000 against total debt $1,036,577,000 produces debt-to-assets of 35.48% and debt-to-equity of 157.88%, while the current ratio stands at 1.52 and quick ratio 1.32; leverage sits materially above common peer liquidity metrics, increasing sensitivity to operating swings during aggressive unit expansion.
Returns and efficiency: return on equity 2.67% and return on assets 0.61% remain modest relative to growth expectations; asset turnover 14.77% signals capital intensity tied to new-shop openings.
Market multiples and valuation context: trailing PE 306.66 and forward PE ~467.22 sit at high absolute multiples, while price-to-book 11.27 records above the industry peer mean. WMDST values the stock as over-valued; that view aligns with a low free-cash-flow yield (0.26%), elevated price-to-book, and a high enterprise multiple, despite the company’s revenue expansion and EPS beat (EPS $0.19 vs estimate $0.17, a 11.76% surprise).
