$EA delivered a strong Q4, reporting a $254M profitโ€”up 40% from last yearโ€”driven by โ€œCollege Football 25โ€ and over $1B in bookings from its American Football segment.

Full-year net bookings hit $7.36B, with live services making up 73%. Looking ahead, EA forecasts FY26 bookings of $7.6B to $8B, helped by continued strength in its sports titles, double-digit monetization growth in โ€œFC,โ€ and the upcoming โ€œBattlefieldโ€ release. The delay of GTA 6 to FY27 removes a major competitive headwind, giving EA more room to capture market share. Shares jumped 6% after hours.

Citi Maintains Neutral on $CAVA, Lowers PT to $114 from $120

Analyst comments: "Key questions ahead of 1Q25 earnings (5/15 AMC) include: (1) Progress on the relaunched loyalty program in terms of member engagement, and where CAVA stands on offering more targeted consumer promotions; (2) The impact of the new labor and deployment model on productivity across dayparts, including peak efficiency and areas of unmet demand; (3) Updates on operational initiatives such as AI make-line monitoring, Project Soul, and the new KDS test, and whether benefits are expected to drop to the bottom line or be reinvested; (4) Tariff impacts on the P&L or build/equipment costs; (5) Expectations for new product innovation in 2025.

Footfall data slowed in the quarter (+18.6% year-over-year vs. +25.4% in 4Q), with January being strongest and April the slowest. App usage showed gradual improvement, and Bloomberg data indicated sales/traffic slowed but remained around +20%. New guest mix stayed near ~40% in 1Q, consistent with 4Q. Fourteen units opened in the quarter, ahead of Street expectations (13).

We adjust our 2025E/2026E EPS to $0.46/$0.63 from $0.37/$0.53 on lower depreciation and amortization expectations. Our price target moves to $114, reflecting a 60x EV/EBITDA multiple on our forward 12-month EBITDA estimate (down from ~4.6x to ~4.1x the market multiple) to account for a broadly choppy backdrop in the restaurant sector."

BofA Reiterates Underperform on $CELH, PT $30

Analyst comments: "Light 1Q results were more complicated than expected. Year-ago laps against Essentials distribution expansion muddied the view on underlying demand. Shipment pull-forward into 4Q and a step-up in promotions created a larger-than-anticipated gap between scanner data and reported results. Underlying demand remains unclear, with scanner data showing a -2% year-over-year decline through April 19, largely due to lapping a Club channel promotional event and only a slight sales decline in other scanned retail. We expect year-over-year consumption to improve over the rest of the quarter, but now also factor in a promotional increase that could hurt 2Q sales before becoming a tailwind in 2H25.

Alani Nu remains a question mark until more information is shared by management on an expected modeling call. Inventory step-up is likely to weigh on Alaniโ€™s gross margin in the near term, though the long-term 50% gross margin target remains possible."

Jefferies Maintains Hold on $AMD, Lowers PT to $100 from $120; 'We remain on the sidelines as there is really no upside without an AI story'

Analyst comments: "Overall estimates move higher, which may be seen as a short-term positive given low expectations, but AI growth remains the key metric for the stockโ€”and on that front, estimates are moving lower. This might not be the last cut, as the full-year AI growth outlook depends heavily on a significant 2H25 ramp driven by the MI350 launch, and we still have not seen any meaningful traction. Server revenue was solid despite some potential share loss to Intel, and the Client segment performed well with record average selling prices, though share also declined there.

Looking ahead to 2H, the PC market is expected to be 'sub-seasonal,' likely adjusted downwards to reflect already strong performance and potential tariff-driven demand destruction. We remain on the sidelines, as there is really no upside without an AI story."

BofA Upgrades $AMD to Buy from Neutral, Raises PT to $120 from $105; '20%+ topline grower at compelling 18x CY26E PE'

Analyst comments: "AMDโ€™s Q1 beat and strong Q2 sales outlook ($7.4 billion, 10% above our forecast despite a $700 million China headwind) address prior concerns regarding China AI restrictions and Nvidia GPU competition. We find the risk-reward compelling and upgrade AMD to Buy based on: (1) potential to deliver 20%+ topline growth in CY25E and CY26E, even with China headwinds; (2) continued share gains in PC/server CPUs against Intel, which remains in a restructuring phase; (3) achievable AI GPU sales targets of $6.2 billion in CY25E (up 23% YoY, including $1.5 billion from China restrictions), with a 2H acceleration driven by the MI350 launch; (4) EBIT margin expansion potential toward 30% in CY27E from 22% in CY25E; and (5) an attractive valuation at 18x CY26E P/E versus a 27% CY24-27E pro forma EPS CAGR.

While bears may argue that near-term beats stem from consumer PC/gaming or tariff pull-ins, we see the strength as driven by better mix and share gains. We raise our CY25/26/27E pro forma EPS by 4%/6%/11% to $3.80/$5.60/$6.81 and lift our price objective to $120 from $105, applying a slightly higher 21x CY26E P/E multiple (up from 20x), still within AMDโ€™s historical 13x-39x range."
