Why Dutch Bros Stock Is Getting Crushed Today

Dutch Bros Inc BROS shares are trading lower Thursday after the company reported worse-than-expected earnings results and issued guidance below analyst estimates. 

Dutch Bros said first-quarter revenue increased 54% year-over-year to $152.2 million, which beat the $145.63-million estimate, according to data from Benzinga Pro. The company said the revenue growth was primarily driven by the opening of 107 company-operated shops over the last year.

The company said it expects to open at least 30 new shops in the second quarter and at least 130 shops in total for full-year 2022.
