Earnings Miss: BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. Missed EPS By 11% And Analysts Are Revising Their Forecasts
We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.
Taking into account the latest results, BE Semiconductor Industries' 19 analysts currently expect revenues in 2025 to be €612.9m, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are expected to drop 13% to €1.87 in the same period. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of €632.8m and earnings per share (EPS) of €2.15 in 2025. From this we can that sentiment has definitely become more bearish after the latest results, leading to lower revenue forecasts and a substantial drop in earnings per share estimates.

The analysts made no major changes to their price target of €136, suggesting the downgrades are not expected to have a long-term impact on BE Semiconductor Industries' valuation. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. The most optimistic BE Semiconductor Industries analyst has a price target of €170 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at €100.00. This shows there is still a bit of diversity in estimates, but analysts don't appear to be totally split on the stock as though it might be a success or failure situation.
Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. The period to the end of 2025 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 3.6% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 3.0% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry (in aggregate), which analyst estimates suggest will see revenues grow 8.4% annually. So although BE Semiconductor Industries is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's forecast to grow slower than the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for BE Semiconductor Industries. Unfortunately, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates underperformance compared to the wider industry. Even so, earnings per share are more important to the intrinsic value of the business. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.
Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. We have estimates - from multiple BE Semiconductor Industries analysts - going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.

Earnings live: Spotify, Novo, UnitedHealth stocks slide after results with Boeing, Starbucks on deck
Second quarter earnings season is in full swing, and the results have been largely positive so far, with more positive surprises than negative ones. Companies had a lower bar to clear coming into the quarter, as analysts tempered their expectations amid President Trump's tariffs, stocks' lofty valuations, and uncertainty about the health of the US economy. This week, investors will be treated to another flurry of quarterly results from Big Tech companies, including Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Meta (META), and Amazon (AMZN). This week's reports also include updates from Spotify (SPOT), Ford (F), Procter & Gamble (PG), Boeing (BA), Starbucks (SBUX), and Qualcomm (QCOM), among others. Data from FactSet published Friday showed that with 34% of the index having reported results, analysts expect S&P 500 companies to report a 5.6% jump in earnings per share during the second quarter. Heading into the quarter, analysts expected S&P 500 earnings to rise 5% in Q2, which would mark the slowest pace of earnings growth since the fourth quarter of 2023. Here are the latest updates from corporate America. Novo stock sinks as company cuts 2025 sales growth, operating profit outlook From Reuters: Read more here.

Spotify stock sinks after Q2 earnings miss Spotify (SPOT) shares fell as much as 10% in early premarket trading Tuesday after the audio streamer missed second quarter earnings and revenue expectations. The results follow a remarkable 120% rally over the past year, as the stock rebounded from 2022 lows on the back of price hikes, cost cuts, and investor enthusiasm for AI and advertising. Spotify hit a record high of $738.45 earlier this month, but shares slid to around $635 immediately following the results. Spotify reported second quarter revenue of €4.19 billion ($4.86 billion), missing analyst expectations of €4.27 billion, though up from €3.81 billion in the same period last year. The company posted an adjusted loss of €0.42 ($0.49) per share, sharply missing forecasts for a profit of €1.97 and down from earnings of €1.33 in Q2 2024. "Outsized currency movements during the quarter impacted reported revenue by €104 million vs. guidance," the company said in the earnings release. Operating income also fell short of expectations, although subscriber metrics Spotify's massive rally heading into the earnings report was fueled by a sweeping business overhaul, including layoffs, leadership changes, and a pullback from costly podcast exclusivity. After spending $1 billion to build out its podcast business, the company has since scaled back and narrowed its focus. Still, it remains committed to the medium, paying over $100 million to creators in Q1 alone, including high-profile names like Joe Rogan and Alex Cooper. Read more here.

Yahoo Finance's Allie Canal reports that Spotify stock has risen 120% over the past 12 months. The company's massive stock rally has followed a sweeping business overhaul, including layoffs, leadership changes, and a pullback from costly podcast exclusivity.

Here's what Wall Street expects from the upcoming results, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates: Read more here. Whirlpool stock tumbles after trimming earnings guidance Whirlpool (WHR) stock tumbled 12% after hours. The Michigan-based maker of washers and dryers reported diluted earnings of $1.17 per share on net sales of $3.7 billion. Wall Street was expecting earnings of $1.58 per share on net sales of $3.8 billion. Investors have been watching Whirlpool, which manufactures most of its appliances in the US, as a potential winner from President Trump's tariffs. However, the company hasn't seen the benefits of Trump's policies yet. In fact, retailers front-running expected tariffs appeared to weigh on the company's second quarter results. "As expected, the second quarter continued to be impacted by competitors stockpiling Asian imports into the U.S.," the company said in the earnings release. "Despite this, we are well positioned in North America with a robust pipeline of new products, the industry's leading U.S. manufacturing footprint, and favorable housing demand fundamentals. We are confident in our long-term strategy and believe that evolving tariff policies will ultimately support domestic manufacturers." Whirlpool also cut its full-year guidance to $6 to $8 a share (previously it was $10 a share) and recommended slashing its quarterly dividend to $0.90 per share from $1.75 per share. Waste Management beats on revenue, earnings Waste Management (WM) reported earnings and revenue that beat Wall Street expectations, sending the shares marginally higher in after-hours trading. Earnings per share of $1.92 were ahead of estimates for earnings of $1.90 per share, while revenue of $6.43 billion exceeded estimates of $6.35 billion, per S&P Global Market Intelligence. "Our second quarter results are a strong demonstration of our progress on all fronts," WM CEO Jim Fish said in a release. "Our Collection and Disposal business produced robust organic revenue growth and margin expansion, achieving the Company's best-ever operating expense margin." Waste Management stock rose 0.7% following the results. Tilray stock sinks after earnings Tilray stock (TLRY) reversed gains, sinking over 6% after hours after the Canadian cannabis company posted mixed quarterly results. Net revenue was $224.5 million in the fourth quarter compared to $229.9 million in the same period a year ago and $233 million estimated, per S&P Global Market Intelligence. Tilray posted adjusted earnings of $0.02 per share, compared to expectations for flat profitability. For its fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, Tilray expects to achieve adjusted EBITDA of $62 million to $72 million Listen to the earnings call live here.

S&P 500 hits record highs amid parade of earnings with more Big Tech results on deck The S&P 500 (^GSPC) cleared its fifth straight record high on Friday after a busy week of earnings, headlined by reports from Google (GOOG) and (TSLA). With 34% of S&P 500 companies having reported results, 80% have reported a positive earnings per share surprise, and 80% reported a positive revenue surprise. Earnings season isn't slowing down just yet, however, with more major companies reporting next week. Notable companies reporting include Big Tech giants such as Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL) and consumer-facing names like Procter & Gamble (PG) and Mastercard (MA) that can provide an updated view on consumer health. Here's a look at the earnings calendar for the next five business days: Monday: Tilray (TLRY), Waste Management (WM), Whirlpool (WHR) Tuesday: Boeing (BA), Booking Holdings (BKNG), Caesars (CZR), Cheesecake Factory (CAKE), Merck (MRK), PayPal (PYPL), Procter & Gamble (PG), Spotify (SPOT), Starbucks (SBUX), SoFi (SOFI), UnitedHealth Group (UNH), UPS (UPS), Visa (V) Wednesday: Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Arm (ARM), Altria (MO), Carvana (CVNA), Ford (F), Generac (GNRC), Harley Davidson (HOG), Hershey (HSY), Humana (HUM), The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC), Qualcomm (QCOM), Robinhood (HOOD) Thursday: Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY), Cigna (CI), Coinbase (COIN), CVS Health (CVS), Mastercard (MA), Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH), Reddit (RDDT), Roblox (RBLX), Roku (ROKU), Strategy (MSTR) Friday: Chevron (CVX), Colgate-Palmolive (CL), Exxon Mobil (XOM) Intel turnaround story could realistically take years, analyst says Intel (INTC) stock fell 9% on Friday after the company reported quarterly results on Thursday that showed it was focused on cost-cutting. Intel's revenue of $12.8 billion beat analyst expectations of $11.8 billion, per Bloomberg data, and the chipmaker issued an upbeat Q3 revenue forecast of between $12.6 billion and $13.6 billion. But the company continues to face challenges as it attempts to transform into a chipmaker as well as a chip designer. As Yahoo Finance's Laura Bratton noted in our markets blog, investors focused on Intel's manufacturing roadmap instead of its headline numbers for the quarter. Intel, once a leading global chipmaker, has fallen behind its rivals in both its own products and its attempt to manufacture chips for outside customers. 'This is a multiquarter — realistically, probably multiyear — kind of complete turnaround story before all the benefits start to show up,' TECHnalysis Research president and chief analyst Bob O'Donnell told Yahoo Finance following the report. Boston Beer Company says strong profits helped brewer absorb tariff costs The Boston Beer Company (SAM) reported earnings and revenue that topped analyst expectations on Thursday, and the Samuel Adams brewer maintained its earnings outlook for the year. Profits were $5.45 per share on revenue of $625 million, versus estimates for earnings of $4.00 per share on $588 million, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. SAM stock popped 6% on Friday, as the company also said it expects to see lower tariff costs than previously expected. For the full year, Boston Beer expects tariffs to weigh on costs by about $15 million to $20 million, instead of the $20 million to $30 million it previously modeled. "Right now, I think we're very happy with the performance," Boston Beer CEO Michael Spillane said on the earnings call. "Not only that, but that's allowed us to offset some of the tariffs that we've seen so far." Charter loses more broadband users in Q2 as competition heats up Charter Communications (CHTR) stock fell 10% premarket Friday after reporting a higher-than-expected fall in broadband subscribers in the second quarter. Reuters reports: Read more here. Puma stock plunges after reporting net loss, with challenges persisting throughout 2025 Puma ( stock plunged 17% after the German sports apparel company lowered its forecast and said it now expects sales to fall by double digits this year. During the second quarter, sales fell everywhere except Latin America and the Middle East, particularly in apparel (-10.7%) and accessories (-6.4%). Footwear sales grew 5.1%, which wasn't enough to offset softness elsewhere. The company swung to a net loss of 241 million euros (roughly $282 million), compared to net income of 41.9 million euros the year before. The sportswear company also noted a hit from tariffs. "Despite ongoing mitigating measures such as supply chain optimization, pricing adjustments and partner collaboration, the U.S. Tariffs are expected to have a mitigated negative impact in 2025 of around € 80 million on gross profit," Puma said in its release. Phillips 66 profit beats estimates on higher refining margins Phillips 66 (PSX) stock rose about 1% in premarket trading after the US refiner reported an adjusted profit of $2.38 per share, beating Wall Street EPS estimates of about $1.71. During the quarter, Phillips 66 returned $906 million to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. Reuters reports: Read more here.

On Thursday, Deckers reported net sales grew 17% to $964.5 million, above estimates of $901.4 million, per Bloomberg data. Profits surged 24%, with diluted earnings per share coming in at $0.93. "HOKA and UGG outperformed our first quarter expectations, with robust growth delivering solid results to begin fiscal year 2026," CEO Stefano Caroti said in a press release. "Though uncertainty remains elevated in the global trade environment, our confidence in our brands has not changed, and the long-term opportunities ahead are significant. We will lean on the fundamental strengths of our powerful operating model as we continue executing our strategy." The main story for the quarter was Deckers' international business: International net sales rose 49.7%, offsetting a 2.8% decline in domestic sales. The company expects net sales for the current quarter in the range of $1.38 billion to $1.42 billion, in line with analyst estimates. Earnings are expected to be in the range of $1.50 to $1.55 per share. Read more here. Intel stock rises on Q2 revenue beat, plans to cut 15% of workforce Intel (INTC) second quarter revenue beat analyst estimates, but its earnings fell short of expectations. The chip giant also said it is slashing its workforce by 15% and expects to have approximately 75,000 employees by the end of the year.

Intel (INTC) stock fell 9% on Friday after the company reported quarterly results on Thursday that showed it was focused on cost-cutting. Intel's revenue of $12.8 billion beat analyst expectations of $11.8 billion, per Bloomberg data, and the chipmaker issued an upbeat Q3 revenue forecast of between $12.6 billion and $13.6 billion. But the company continues to face challenges as it attempts to transform into a chipmaker as well as a chip designer. As Yahoo Finance's Laura Bratton noted in our markets blog, investors focused on Intel's manufacturing roadmap instead of its headline numbers for the quarter.

3 Reasons Why Coca-Cola Is Still a Top Dividend Stock for Generating Passive Income
Key Points Coke continues to generate organic growth despite a highly challenging operating environment. The company is adapting to changing consumer preferences and regulatory pressure by offering Coke made with U.S. cane sugar instead of corn syrup. Coke has a growing and affordable dividend with a competitive yield. 10 stocks we like better than Coca-Cola › Some top stocks are known for their growth potential, while others are recognized for their predictability. Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) is in that second camp. The company isn't perfect, and its results have been disappointing in some periods. But through it all, one constant that investors have been able to count on is Coke's rock-solid dividend. Coke is unique because it has a high yield at 3% and it has an extensive track record of increasing its payout. It has done so for 63 consecutive years, earning it a spot on the list of Dividend Kings. Here's why Coke remains a great buy for investors looking to boost their passive income. 1. Delivering solid results Coke reported a good second quarter on July 22. The company grew organic revenue by 5%, comparable earnings per share (EPS) by 4%, and comparable operating margins rose to 34.7% versus 32.8% for the second quarter of 2024. For the full year, Coke expects organic revenue growth of 5% to 6%, comparable currency-neutral EPS of 8%, and comparable EPS of $2.88. So currency headwinds are really throwing a wrench in Coke's results and detracting from the strength of the underlying business. Coke's resilient results didn't get a big reaction from Wall Street, but that may be because Coke is up around 11% on the year, which is slightly better than the gain for the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC). Coke has been a standout in what has otherwise been a challenging consumer staples sector -- especially for packaged food and beverage and snack companies. Many food and beverage stocks are at multiyear, if not multidecade, lows. Inflation and relatively high interest rates have been hitting consumer demand hard for everyday household goods. When the cost of these goods go up, it affects all consumers, but especially those with less discretionary income. Another challenge is changes in consumer preferences. Some consumers are shifting their buying behavior toward healthier options, characterized by lower sugar content, better ingredients, and improved nutrition. These trends were reflected in Coke's latest results, which highlighted volume growth in Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, Fanta, Fairlife, BodyArmor, and Powerade. For years now, Coke has been seeing excellent growth in zero sugar and diet versions of its flagship Coca-Cola products -- a sign that investment in these labels is paying off. 2. Adapting to the times The Trump administration's Make America Healthy Again Commission is pressuring food and beverage companies to phase out petroleum-based synthetic dyes and replace artificial ingredients with natural ingredients. On its latest earnings call, Coke said that it plans to expand its Trademark Coca-Cola product range to include U.S. cane sugar this fall. In the U.S., Coke uses high-fructose corn syrup as its primary sweetener because it is cost-effective. But Coke made in Mexico typically uses cane sugar, which is why some consumers tend to go out of their way to buy this product version. The decision to make Coke with cane sugar in the U.S. may have garnered a negative reaction if announced years ago, but the time is right to make this change. Coke's standout brands in recent years have generally been the healthier options in its portfolio. It has had resounding success growing Topo Chico since it acquired the brand in 2017. Similarly, its dairy brand Fairlife (acquired in 2020) has been a value add for the company. Not only are these brands doing well, but they also diversify Coke away from a majority soda lineup toward other options, which makes the company better positioned to unlock earnings growth from a diversified revenue stream. 3. A growing and affordable dividend Money isn't created out of thin air. For a company to consistently grow its dividend and thus incur a larger dividend expense, it must grow its earnings. Coke's earnings growth hasn't been great in recent years, but that's mostly because it has been making significant changes to its brand lineup and addressing the aforementioned challenges. However, the growth has been sufficient for Coke to continue increasing its dividend. Coca-Cola pays a $0.51 per share quarterly dividend, or $2.04 per year. If Coke hits its adjusted EPS guidance of 3%, earnings will be $2.97 in 2025 -- meaning that Coke can afford to grow its dividend without impacting its financial health or taking away cash that could otherwise be reinvested in the business. Coke also has a reasonable valuation. Based on the share price of $69.17 at the time of this writing and $2.97 in 2025 earnings, Coke would have a price-to-earnings ratio of 23.3. It's not a bargain-bin price for a low-growth dividend stock. And there are plenty of better deals available for investors seeking a superior value. However, Coke arguably deserves this valuation because the dividend is so reliable, and the company continues to generate organic growth and pricing power at a time when many of its peers are struggling. A potential centerpiece of a passive income portfolio Coke's brand lineup, high-margin business, and willingness to adapt to changes in consumer preferences make the company a worthy foundational holding for income investors. The shift from corn syrup to cane sugar in the U.S. may lead to higher costs in the near term, but the move could pay off if it increases sales volumes. Coke continues to demonstrate why it is the industry leader across numerous non-alcoholic beverage categories, and why the stock remains a plug-and-play option for income investors to add to their portfolios.

Boeing's 2Q loss narrows and revenue rises, topping Wall Street's expectations
Boeing's second-quarter loss narrowed and revenue improved as the aircraft manufacturer delivered more commercial planes in the period. Boeing Co. lost $611 million, or 92 cents per share, for the three months ended June 30. A year earlier it lost $1.44 billion, or $2.33 per share. Adjusting for one-time gains, Boeing lost $1.24 per share. This was better than the loss of $1.54 per share that analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research expected. Shares rose more than 2% before the market open on Tuesday. Revenue climbed to $22.75 billion from $16.87 billion, mostly due to 150 commercial deliveries compared with 92 deliveries in the prior-year period. The performance topped Wall Street's estimate of $21.86 billion. Boeing has been dealing with a variety of issues over the past few years. On Sunday Boeing said that it expects more than 3,200 union workers at three St. Louis-area plants that produce U.S. fighter jets to strike after they rejected a proposed contract that included a 20% wage increase over four years. The International Machinists and Aerospace Workers union said the vote by District 837 members was overwhelmingly against the proposed contract. The existing contract was to expire at 11:59 p.m. Central time Sunday, but the union said that a 'cooling off' period would keep a strike from beginning for another week, until Aug. 4. Last fall, Boeing offered a general wage increase of 38% over four years to end a 53-day strike by 33,000 aircraft workers producing passenger aircraft. In June the National Transportation Safety Board said that its 17-month long investigation found that lapses in Boeing's manufacturing and safety oversight, combined with ineffective inspections and audits by the Federal Aviation Administration, led to a door plug panel flying off Alaska Airlines flight 1282, which was a Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft, last year. Boeing said in a statement at the time that it will review the NTSB report and will continue working on strengthening safety and quality across its operations. The Max version of Boeing's bestselling 737 airplane has been the source of persistent troubles for the company since two of the jets crashed, one in Indonesia in 2018 and another in Ethiopia in 2019, killing a combined 346 people. In May the Justice Department reached a deal allowing Boeing to avoid criminal prosecution for allegedly misleading U.S. regulators about the Max before the two crashes. Boeing was also in the news last month when a 787 flown by Air India crashed shortly after takeoff and killed at least 270 people. Investigators have not determined what caused that crash, but so far they have not found any flaws with the model, which has a strong safety record.
