Dollar General Corp (DG)

  • 4Q24 Revenue: $10.3B, +4.0% YoY, beat estimates by $40M
  • 4Q24 GAAP EPS: $0.87, miss estimates by $0.63
  • 4Q24 Dividend: Dollar General declares $0.59/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous; Forward yield 3.15%; Payable April 22; for shareholders of record April 8; ex-div April 8.
  • FY25 Guidance: Expect net sales growth of 3.4% to 4.4%, midpoint of 3.9% below consensus of 4.14%; Expect same-store sales growth of 1.2% to 2.2%, midpoint of 1.7% below consensus of 1.76%; Expect GAAP EPS to be between $5.10 to $5.80, midpoint of $5.45 below consensus of $5.85; Expect effective tax rate to be 23.50%; Expect capex to be between $1.3bn to $1.4bn, midpoint of $1.35bn below consensus of $1.41bn.
  • Comment: Dollar General reported stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter sales, but its profits fell short of estimates due to costs associated with a review of the retailer’s store portfolio. Earnings per share for Q4 2024 dropped more than 50% to 87 cents, which includes an 81-cent impairment charge related to store closures. Net sales grew 4.5% to $10.3 billion, driven by increased spending on essential items. Same-store sales rose by 1.2%, with growth entirely attributed to consumables like food and personal care products. This suggests that Dollar General’s customers are still grappling with higher prices and economic uncertainty. Consumers continue to report worsened financial conditions, impacted by persistent inflation. Looking ahead, the company expects an increase in “trade-down” behaviour, with more middle- and upper-income consumers turning to Dollar General for bargains. The company also plans to close 96 Dollar General stores and 45 pOpshelf stores, while converting six pOpshelf locations into Dollar General stores during the first quarter. 1Q25 recommended trading range: $74 to $86. Neutral Outlook.

达乐 (DG)

  • 24财年第四季营收:103亿美元,同比增长4.0%,超出预期4,000万美元。
  • 24财年第四季GAAP每股收益:0.87美元,低于预期0.63美元。
  • 24财年第四季股息:达乐宣布每股0.59美元的季度股息,与之前一致;远期收益率3.15%;4月22日支付;4月8日登记在册的股东;4月8日除息。
  • 25财年全年指引:预计净销售额增长3.4%至4.4%,中点3.9%低于市场一致预期的4.14%;预计同店销售额增长1.2%至2.2%,中点1.7%低于市场一致预期的1.76%;预计GAAP每股收益在5.10美元至5.80美元之间,中点5.45美元低于市场一致预期的5.85美元;预计有效税率为23.50%;预计资本支出在13亿美元至14亿美元之间,中点13.5亿美元低于市场一致预期的14.1亿美元。
  • 短评:达乐公布了强于预期的第四季度销售额,但由于与零售商门店组合审查相关的成本,其利润低于预期。24年第四季度每股收益下降超过50%,至87美分,其中包括与门店关闭相关的81美分的减值费用。净销售额增长4.5%,达到103亿美元,这得益于必需品支出的增加。同店销售额增长1.2%,增长完全归因于食品和个人护理产品等消费品。这表明公司的客户仍在努力应对更高的价格和经济不确定性。消费者继续报告财务状况恶化,受到持续通货膨胀的影响。展望未来,该公司预计“降级消费”行为将增加,更多中高收入消费者将转向公司寻求优惠。该公司还计划在第一季度关闭96家达乐门店和45家pOpshelf门店,同时将6家pOpshelf门店转换为达乐门店。25财年第一季建议交易区间:74美元至86美元。中性前景。

Weibo Corp (WB)

  • 4Q24 Revenue: $456.8M, -1.5% YoY, beat estimates by $5.04M
  • 4Q24 Non-GAAP EPS: $0.40 beat estimates by $0.01
  • FY25 Guidance: No guidance provided.
  • Dividend Distribution: Board declared a cash dividend of $0.82 per ADS and approved an annual dividend payout of $200M for FY24.
  • Comment: Weibo Corporation reported a slight decline in Q4 revenue, down 1.5% YoY to US$456.83mn, but still exceeding analyst expectations of US$437.87mn. Adjusted EPS came in at US$0.40, slightly beating the US$0.39 forecast. Advertising and marketing revenues fell 4% to US$385.9mn, mainly due to weakness in the online gaming sector, while value-added services (VAS) revenue grew 18% to US$71.0mn, driven by membership services and game-related revenues. Monthly active users reached 590 million, with daily active users increasing to 260 million. The company maintained a solid financial position with US$2.4bn in cash and equivalents and introduced a new dividend policy with a US$200mn payout for FY24. Looking ahead, Weibo plans to expand its AI integration efforts to enhance advertising monetization and user engagement, supported by a strong balance sheet. Despite headwinds in the online gaming sector, we anticipate continued ad performance in key industries, driven by government subsidies and shifting consumer trends. 1Q25 recommended trading range: $10 to $11. Neutral Outlook.

微博公司 (WB)

  • 24财年第四季度营收:4.568亿美元,同比下降1.5%,超出预期504万美元。
  • 24财年第四季度Non-GAAP每股收益:0.40美元,超出预期0.01美元。

  • 4Q24 Revenue: $570.6M, +87.8% YoY, beat estimates by $66.23M
  • 4Q24 GAAP EPS: $1.72 beat estimates by $0.29
  • FY25 Guidance: No revenue guidance provided. Plans to acquire 800,000 new paying clients, launch crypto trading in the U.S and maintain its client acquisition cost between HKD 2,500 and HKD 3,000.
  • Comment: Futu Holdings reported a strong Q4, surpassing analyst expectations with EPS of US$1.72 and revenue of US$570.6mn, marking an 87.8% YoY increase. The company’s net income grew 113% to RMB 1.9bn, with an improved operating margin of 50%. Futu continued its expansion with over 25 million global users and 2.41 million paying clients, driving a 53% YoY increase in total client assets to US$95.7bn. Trading volumes surged, with US stock trading volume up 195% YoY to over US$267bn, and strong momentum in crypto trading across Singapore and Hong Kong. The company aims to add 800,000 new paying clients in 2025 and expand crypto trading in the U.S., reinforcing its market leadership through strategic initiatives, partnerships, and product innovation. While regulatory risks and market competition remain key challenges, Futu’s strong financial position, robust trading volumes, and commitment to improving user experience position it for continued growth in 2025. 1Q25 recommended trading range: $107 to $120. Positive Outlook.

富途 (FUTU)

  • 24财年第四季营收:5.706亿美元,同比增长87.8%,超出预期6623万美元。
  • 24财年第四季GAAP每股收益:1.72美元,超出预期0.29美元。
  • 25财年指引:未提供营收指引。计划新增80万付费客户,在美国推出加密货币交易,并将客户获取成本维持在2500至3000港元之间。
  • 短评:富途控股公布了强劲的第四季业绩,每股收益1.72美元,营收5.706亿美元,均超出了分析师的预期,营收同比增长87.8%。公司净利润增长113%至19亿人民币,营业利润率提高至50%。富途继续扩张,全球用户超过2500万,付费客户达到241万,推动客户总资产同比增长53%至957亿美元。交易量激增,美股交易量同比增长195%至超过2670亿美元,新加坡和香港的加密货币交易势头强劲。该公司计划在2025年新增80万付费客户,并在美国扩大加密货币交易,通过战略举措、合作和产品创新巩固其市场领导地位。尽管监管风险和市场竞争仍然是主要挑战,但富途强大的财务状况、强劲的交易量以及对改善用户体验的承诺使其在2025年有望持续增长。25财年第一季建议交易区间:107美元至120美元。积极前景。

DocuSign Inc (DOCU)

  • 4Q25 Revenue: $776.25M, +9.0% YoY, beat estimates by $14.61M
  • 4Q25 Non-GAAP EPS: $0.86 beat estimates by $0.01
  • 1Q26 Guidance: Expect revenue of $745.0M-$749.0M versus the analyst consensus of $755.7M.
  • FY26 Guidance: Expect revenue of $3.13B-$3.14B versus the analyst consensus of $3.15B.
  • Comment: Docusign reported strong financial results for Q4 and FY24, with total revenue reaching US$776.3M and US$2.98bn respectively. Subscription revenue rose to US$2.90bn, while billings increased by 7% to US$3.1bn. The company demonstrated improved profitability, with GAAP net income per diluted share surging to US$5.08 from US$0.36 the previous year. Docusign also repurchased US$683.5 million in common stock, significantly up from US$145.5mn in FY24. The launch of its AI-powered Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform has gained strong traction, with global expansion and new product integrations, including Docusign + Microsoft Power Automate, AI-Assisted Review for contract lifecycle management (CLM), and enhanced identity verification tools. However, the company’s FY26 revenue forecast of US$3.13bn to US$3.14bn is slightly below analyst expectations of US$3.15bn. Docusign is well-positioned for continued growth as it expands its AI-driven Intelligent Agreement Management platform and strengthens integrations with enterprise systems. While near-term revenue forecasts of US$745mn to US$749mn for Q1 are slightly below analyst expectations, the company’s focus on automation, security, and workflow optimization should drive long-term customer adoption. 1Q26 recommended trading range: $78 to $86. Positive Outlook.

Docusign (DOCU)

  • 25财年第四季营收:7.7625亿美元,同比增长9.0%,超出预期1461万美元。
  • 25财年第四季Non-GAAP每股收益:0.86美元,超出预期0.01美元。
  • 26财年第一季指引:预计营收在7.45亿美元至7.49亿美元之间,而分析师预期为7.557亿美元。
  • 26财年全年指引:预计营收在31.3亿美元至31.4亿美元之间,而分析师预期为31.5亿美元。
  • 短评:Docusign公布了24财年第四季度和全年的强劲财务业绩,总营收分别达到7.763亿美元和29.8亿美元。订阅营收增长至29亿美元,账单增长7%至31亿美元。公司盈利能力显著提高,GAAP稀释后每股净利润从上一年的0.36美元飙升至5.08美元。Docusign还回购了6.835亿美元的普通股,远高于24财年的1.455亿美元。其人工智能驱动的智能协议管理(IAM)平台的推出受到了广泛关注,全球扩张和新产品集成不断推进,包括Docusign + Microsoft Power Automate、用于合同生命周期管理(CLM)的人工智能辅助审查以及增强的身份验证工具。然而,公司对26财年的营收预测为31.3亿美元至31.4亿美元,略低于分析师预期的31.5亿美元。Docusign在扩展其人工智能驱动的智能协议管理平台并加强与企业系统的集成方面处于有利地位,有望实现持续增长。尽管第一季度营收预测7.45亿美元至7.49亿美元略低于分析师预期,但公司对自动化、安全性和工作流程优化的关注应能推动长期客户采用。26财年第一季建议交易区间:78美元至86美元。积极前景。

Ulta Beauty Inc (ULTA)

  • 4Q24 Revenue: $3.49B, -1.9% YoY, beat estimates by $10M
  • 4Q24 GAAP EPS: $8.46 beat estimates by $1.31
  • FY25 Guidance: Expect revenue of $11.5B and $11.6B, compared with analysts’ estimates of $11.67B and profit per share to be between $22.50 and $22.90, compared with expectations of $23.47.
  • Comment: Ulta Beauty exceeded sales and profit expectations for the fourth quarter, driven by strong holiday shopping. Unlike competitors such as Coty and L’Oréal, which saw weaker U.S. mass beauty market growth, Ulta benefited from strategic discounts during the Thanksgiving period. While net sales declined 1.9% to US$3.49bn, it still surpassed estimates, and profit per share of US$8.46 exceeded the expected US$7.12. The company recently appointed Kecia Steelman as its new CEO, succeeding Dave Kimbell. However, Ulta’s annual sales and profit forecasts fell short of expectations, citing potential price increases due to trade policies. It projects annual sales of US$11.5bn to US$11.6bn and profit per share of US$22.50 to US$22.90, both below analysts’ estimates. Despite near-term macroeconomic headwinds and evolving trade policies that may impact pricing, the company is expected to drive sustained customer engagement through strategic promotions, exclusive brand partnerships, and investments in its loyalty program. 1Q25 recommended trading range: $310 to $350. Neutral Outlook.

Ulta 美容 (ULTA)

  • 24财年第四季营收:34.9亿美元,同比下降1.9%,超出预期1000万美元。
  • 24财年第四季GAAP每股收益:8.46美元,超出预期1.31美元。
  • 25财年指引:预计营收在115亿美元至116亿美元之间,而分析师预期为116.7亿美元;预计每股收益在22.50美元至22.90美元之间,而平均预期为23.47美元。
  • 短评:Ulta美容第四季销售额和利润均超出预期,这得益于强劲的假日购物季。与Coty和欧莱雅等美国大众美妆市场增长疲软的竞争对手不同,Ulta受益于感恩节期间的战略性折扣。虽然净销售额下降1.9%至34.9亿美元,但仍超过了预期,每股利润8.46美元也超过了预期的7.12美元。该公司最近任命Kecia Steelman为新任首席执行官,接替Dave Kimbell。然而,Ulta的年度销售和利润预测低于预期,原因是贸易政策可能导致价格上涨。该公司预计年度销售额为115亿美元至116亿美元,每股利润为22.50美元至22.90美元,均低于分析师的预期。尽管近期宏观经济面临不利因素,以及可能影响定价的不断变化的贸易政策,但该公司预计将通过战略促销、独家品牌合作以及对其忠诚度计划的投资,推动持续的客户参与。25财年第一季建议交易区间:310美元至350美元。中性前景。
