### Session Tape — Dutch Bros shares fell 2.31%
## Catalyst Analysis: Growth Deceleration Pressures Valuation
Dutch Bros faced heavy selling pressure after reporting earnings that highlighted slowing same-store sales growth. While overall revenue climbed 29.8% to $549.8 million and earnings per share rose 43% to $0.20, comparable-store sales growth remained a friction point for market participants. The beverage chain noted that comparable-store sales rose by 4.4% with traffic up 0.4%, while company-owned shops outperformed with a 5.4% comparable-shop sales jump on a 1% visit increase. Management outlined plans to add about 150 new locations in 2027, representing approximately 19% unit growth. However, anticipated system growth is trending at at least 5%, falling short of the 5.5% level previously indicated. The stock has now surrendered more than 40% over the trailing period, reversing prior momentum as the market re-evaluates growth multiples in the consumer space.
