Dutch Bros(BROS)的後續展望,核心可以用一句話抓住:「以展店做為主引擎、用數位與會員提高交易頻率、用食品/新品擴大消費情境,同時在咖啡原物料與租賃結構變化下管理短期毛利壓力」

1) 成長引擎:展店仍是最關鍵的長期推進器

  • 公司已把「可複製的展店能力」當成主要成長路徑:2025 年系統店數到 1,136 家,管理層對長期可開店的上限(TAM)仍以 7,000 家為論述基礎,並以 2029 年達 2,029 家作為中期里程碑。
  • 2026 年公司給的方向是:至少開 181 家新店(另有說法提到約 185 家的開店節奏),並透過收購/轉換部分既有據點(例如 Carolinas 區域的據點轉換)加速進入新市場、降低開荒期的不確定性。
  • 從財務數字看得到展店帶動的量能:BROS 季營收從 2023/Q1 的 1.97 億美元一路成長到 2026/Q1 的 4.64 億美元(顯示規模擴張趨勢明確)。

2) 同店與需求品質:更偏「交易量」而不是「漲價」在撐

  • 公司在 2026 年對同店成長的框架偏保守:系統同店銷售成長(SSS)指引約 3%–5%。這通常意味著管理層預期消費環境、競品促銷、或基期因素會讓同店不會一路維持高檔。
  • 但值得注意的是,公司強調需求動能多來自交易量提升(而非單純靠漲價),這種結構一般更健康:代表品牌黏著度與「日常化」程度在提高,而不是用價格把營收撐上去。

3) 數位/會員:用更精準的促活取代大水漫灌折扣

  • 會員與數位化是 BROS 近年最重要的「效率槓桿」:
    • Dutch Rewards 交易占比被提到已到 7 成以上(有資料指向約 72%~74% 區間),代表公司可以用分眾推播、個人化優惠去拉頻率,而不是全面打折傷毛利。
    • Order Ahead(預先點單)交易占比約 1 成多(~14%–15%),通常有兩個好處:提升尖峰時段吞吐量、以及把會員使用情境做深(更容易養成習慣性回購)。

4) 產品與食品:擴大「多一個理由來」的情境,但短期可能壓毛利

  • BROS 的策略仍定位為「飲品公司」,但食品是用來做加購、提高客單、拓展早餐/非咖啡情境
  • 目前食品計畫已推進到數百家門店,早期觀察到對同店有正向拉動(市場資訊常引用約 ~4% 的同店增益在已導入門店上)。
  • 需要留意的點是:公司也坦言食品計畫在推廣期可能對整體毛利/營運效率造成一些摩擦(流程、設備、教育訓練、報廢率等),而且有一部分「較舊型態門店」未必能完整導入,導致效益不會在全系統均質展開。

5) 獲利與成本面:2026 年更像「成長持續、但毛利有逆風」的一年

  • 管理層對 2026 年的財務指引(市場整理口徑)大致是:
    • 營收約 20–20.3 億美元(年增約 22%–24%)
    • 調整後 EBITDA 約 3.55–3.65 億美元
  • 主要逆風集中在:
    • 咖啡原物料成本偏高(公司提到 2026 年仍會有 COGS 壓力,且壓力在年初可能更明顯)
    • 租賃/展店型態轉向 build-to-suit(資本支出可能更有效率,但會使租金/占用成本在損益表的占比變化,短期影響利潤率呈現)
  • 從最新可得的獲利數字趨勢看,BROS 的 EPS 已從 2023 年仍有虧損波動,走向 2025 年後明顯轉正;近四季 EPS 合計(TTM)約 0.64 美元,代表模式正在往「規模化後的獲利釋放」推進,但 2026 年要同時消化原物料與營運調整的壓力。

6) 估值含意:市場在用「高成長 + 續航」定價,容錯率較低

  • 目前可見的估值指標顯示 BROS 仍在高估值區間(例如本益比約 百倍等級),這通常代表市場更在意:
    • 展店是否能按計畫執行、且新店 AUV(單店營收)不要明顯下滑
    • 同店交易量能否穩定維持正成長
    • 成本逆風是否如預期在下半年鈍化、以及公司是否能逐步逼近長期店貢獻毛利目標(約 30% 的方向)

整體來說,BROS 的「後續展望」更像是一條清晰的擴張曲線:店數擴張 + 數位化提高頻率 + 菜單/食品擴情境支撐營收成長;而 2026 年的投資重點會落在能否在成本逆風下維持同店韌性與店經濟模型,因為估值已經把「長期很會長大」的想像先反映了一大段。

"The-second-dark-cloud-of-the-AI-industry" 讀後心得



A Study on AI - Part 1: The Duration of the AI Industry

The-second-dark-cloud-of-the-AI-industry


( 經Roger's note 作者授權同意轉載 )

III. A Wake-Up Call from Economic History: The Overlooked “Technology Time Lag”

If AI is the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” we must look back at history. Many mistakenly believe that as soon as new technology appears, GDP will take off, but economic history tells us the exact opposite.

According to the analysis by Nobel laureates in Economics Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt in their book The Power of Creative Destruction, as well as actual economic data:

The Industrial Revolution: During the 20-year peak of the Industrial Revolution in the UK, the annual GDP growth rate was only about 3.3%.

The IT Revolution: The first transistor was born in the 1950s, but the United States did not welcome high GDP growth of 5% until the 1990s—a full 40 years later.

重點 : 重大科技發明及龐大資本投資 無法立即為GDP帶來立即貢獻


IV. Signals of a Bubble and the Legacy of Infrastructure

Financial markets have begun to smell something unusual. Currently, the corporate bonds issued by tech giants for data center construction amount to approximately $126 billion. Although this accounts for only 5% of the US investment-grade bond market and appears to be in the early stages, this is precisely the signal that a bubble is beginning to accumulate.

Renowned analyst Ben Evans warned, using the cryptocurrency craze as an example: “You cannot draw a straight line on a logarithmic chart and declare that everyone will own a crypto wallet in the future.” Similarly, we cannot linearly deduce that GDP will skyrocket next year simply because AI technology is powerful. 經Roger 授權同意, 轉載

7月初 Bros 因為巴西關稅課40%,  先被殺一波, 後來留著50%部位Q2業績出爐, 強力反彈追回50%損失.  而後市場又一輪惡意下跌到48, 我終究被嚇跑了, 瞬間從48漲回去 Orz

( 後來檢討, 假如我願意做 option保護現貨, 也許損失不會那麼嚴重, 但問題是要採用哪種策略呢 !? )



同時間在20塊買進 CFLT, 抱得很不錯, 直到7月底被殺下來, 短短3天殺了30%, 心態崩潰了, 呼叫戰友Catherine 討抱 + 被她數落幾句



2024從毫無業績, 一直到9月中旬開始有喜訊, 10月大反攻

UPWK, PYPL, DOCU, VST  一直到11 月底, 短短3個月帳戶進帳 + 25%

海龜9號 Paypal

 



PSP 名詞解釋
Our business is subject to complex and changing laws, rules, regulations, policies, licensing schemes, and legal interpretations in the markets in which we offer services directly or through partners, including, but not limited to, those governing: banking, credit, deposit taking, cross-border and domestic money transmission, prepaid access, foreign currency exchange, privacy, data protection, data governance, cybersecurity, banking secrecy, digital payments, cryptocurrency, payment services (including payment processing and settlement services), lending, fraud detection, consumer protection, antitrust and competition, economic and trade sanctions, anti-money laundering, and counter-terrorist financing.


Transaction Margin Dollars (TM$) represents the profit PayPal makes on payment transactions after deducting direct costs, such as transaction losses and processing expenses. This metric is used internally and in public financial statements to measure the profitability of the company's core operation


PayPal spots ‘softer’ consumer spending

The digital payments pioneer pointed to consumers’ smaller purchases in the third quarter, and sees the trend continuing.

“Overall, we have seen relatively consistent growth in the number of checkout transactions, but basket sizes or average order value has decreased,” said Jamie Miller, who is the company’s chief financial and operating officer. “We’ve observed this trend continuing through October.”


2025 Q2 earning call , addressed by Alex :
Moving to our PSP business. I want to reflect on one of my first earnings calls, where we shared our plan to reset our largest merchant relationships to price our services to the value we deliver. The consequence of that reset was pressure on growth in exchange for long-term profitability. Now we are on the other side of that, and can confidently say that our strategy worked. We maintained our customers, and we are having more strategic conversations and relationships with them. And most importantly, we are now growing our Braintree TPV again, and expect an acceleration in the back half of the year. This is an important inflection point, and I am really proud of the team for their execution.


Key to this strategy has been investing in and scaling our strong suite of value-added services. These services are helping position PayPal as a trusted innovative partner in this evolving commerce landscape and have transformed the margin profile of our PSP business.


Let me share one example. Payouts is one of the value-added services that is growing rapidly. Some of the world's top travel, mobility and social commerce platforms already use Hyperwallet to manage and distribute funds to hosts, drivers and creators globally. Most recently, our payouts capabilities were a strategic enabler in our landmark partnerships with the Big 12 and Big Ten college athletic conferences that I mentioned earlier. Hyperwallet enables the conferences to provide student athletes with rapid access to revenue share payments that can be sent directly to their PayPal or Venmo accounts, where they can then spend and send the money instantly. For small businesses, our priority remains empowering merchants with the tools they need to manage and accelerate their growth. We're steadily migrating more transactions on to PayPal Complete Payments. PPCP enables SMBs to easily access our latest online branded checkout and new products like Fastlane. As of today, over half of SMB volume flows through this platform, a notable improvement since last quarter. Our recent expansion of PPCP into Singapore further extends our global reach. We also continue to deepen our relationships with the most popular platforms where SMBs manage and grow their businesses. Just last week, we announced an expanded partnership with Wix, that gives merchants access to our full suite of payment tools, seamlessly integrates into Wix Payments to fuel sales growth. When our small business customers succeed, the relationship with PayPal deepens, and we remain committed to expanding access to the tools and capital that fuel that growth.




While we are pleased with our progress, what's even more exciting is the foundation we are building to sustain and accelerate this growth in the years ahead. TM dollars growth had multiple sources in the quarter, including strong credit performance, branded checkout flow-through, improvements in PSP profitability, and Venmo. We drove operating leverage through a combination of top line growth and cost discipline, as we remix less productive spend into product, tech and marketing.


Turning to PSP, which spans both large enterprise and SMB processing, as well as parts of our vast portfolio like payouts, invoicing, and point-of-sale solutions, volume grew 2%, in line with the first quarter. Our focus on prioritizing healthy, quality growth within our Braintree business continues to deliver meaningful TM dollars improvement.



We are capitalizing on untapped opportunities in PSP and SMB. At the same time, we are actively shaping the future of commerce through our work in AI, ads and crypto. And our velocity of innovation is only accelerating. I am more excited than ever about the future we're building.
