Earnings Preview for Q1 2025 for PRGS, UEC, FIZZ, STZ, GBX, UNF, KMTS, KALV, and TLK: June 30–July 4, 2025

As we conclude the second quarter of 2025, the final week marks a critical earnings period for investors, with nine companies across diverse sectors reporting their Q1 2025 results during June 30 - July 4, 2025. This earnings week comes amid a challenging economic environment characterized by trade tensions, tariff uncertainties, and moderate GDP growth expectations. The Federal Reserve has maintained a cautious stance while markets price in potential rate cuts later in 2025, creating a complex backdrop for corporate earnings across all sectors.

Economic Environment

The first quarter of 2025 has been marked by significant economic turbulence, with the Trump administration's tariff announcements creating severe market volatility and raising concerns about trade wars. Markets now anticipate the Fed will need to lower monetary policy by approximately 75 basis points by the end of 2025, as tariffs are expected to trigger a growth slowdown. Global growth is forecast to slow to 2.4% in 2025, down from 2.9% in 2024, primarily due to heightened trade tensions and policy uncertainty. Consumer confidence has deteriorated sharply across businesses and financial markets, while inflation remains stubbornly above the Fed's 2% target.

Technology and Software

Monday: Progress Software (PRGS)

Progress Software enters Q1 2025 earnings having demonstrated resilience in its most recent quarter, with revenue reaching $238.0 million in Q4 2024, representing significant growth compared to the prior year. The company has been navigating through strategic acquisitions and operational adjustments, though it reported a decline in earnings compared to the previous year, with diluted EPS of $0.24 versus $0.51 in the prior year period. Progress Software's performance will be closely watched for insights into how enterprise software companies are managing the current economic uncertainties and cybersecurity challenges, as the company has incurred cyber vulnerability response expenses. The software industry has seen mixed performance amid the broader economic headwinds, making Progress Software's quarterly results particularly important for gauging sector health.

Energy and Commodities

Monday: Uranium Energy (UEC)

Uranium Energy represents the nuclear fuel sector, which continues to benefit from renewed global interest in nuclear power as a clean energy solution amid growing energy security concerns. The uranium market has experienced significant volatility in recent quarters, with prices affected by both supply constraints and increasing demand for nuclear fuel as countries seek to reduce their carbon footprints. The company's Q1 2025 results will reflect uranium market dynamics and global nuclear energy development trends. With oil prices having fallen sharply in early April 2025 due to tariff announcements and OPEC+ production increases, alternative energy sources like nuclear power may see increased investor attention.

Consumer Goods

Monday: National Beverage (FIZZ)

National Beverage, known for its LaCroix sparkling water brand and other beverage products, faces a challenging consumer environment marked by weakened spending patterns and changing preferences. Consumer confidence has declined significantly during Q1 2025, affecting discretionary spending across various categories. The beverage industry has been particularly sensitive to input cost inflation and supply chain disruptions, while consumers have become increasingly price-conscious. National Beverage's Q1 results will provide insights into how specialty beverage companies are navigating reduced consumer spending and margin pressures in an inflationary environment.

Alcoholic Beverages

Tuesday: Constellation Brands (STZ)

Constellation Brands demonstrated mixed performance in recent quarters, with fiscal 2025 results showing net sales of $10.2 billion, down from previous expectations, while facing significant challenges in its wine and spirits division. The company reported a net loss of $31.1 million in fiscal 2025 compared to a profit of $1.76 billion in fiscal 2024, primarily due to goodwill impairments and asset write-downs. However, the beer division showed strength with $8.5 billion in net sales and continued market share gains. Recent developments include the completion of wine and spirits divestitures and debt refinancing activities. Investors will watch closely for guidance on how the company is positioned following its portfolio optimization and whether the beer business can continue offsetting challenges in other segments.

Transportation and Industrial

Tuesday: The Greenbrier Companies (GBX)

Greenbrier Companies reported record Q1 2025 revenue of $876 million with strong EBITDA of $145 million, representing a 16.6% operating margin. The railcar manufacturer delivered 6,000 new railcars in Q1 and maintained high fleet utilization at approximately 99%. However, the company faces mixed market conditions with revenue expectations revised downward for the full year, reflecting softer demand in certain markets. The freight rail industry in North America remains fundamentally healthy, but fleet utilization is expected to decline slightly as deliveries outpace retirements in 2025. Greenbrier's Q1 2025 earnings will reveal how the company is managing the balance between strong operational performance and uncertain demand outlook.

Business Services

Wednesday: Unifirst (UNF)

Unifirst reported solid Q1 2025 results with consolidated revenues increasing 1.9% to $604.9 million and operating income rising 4.5% to $55.5 million. The uniform rental and workplace supply company demonstrated operational resilience with adjusted EBITDA growing 5.9% to $94.0 million. Core laundry operations showed organic growth of 1.7% with improving margins, though the company continues to invest in key IT infrastructure initiatives. Unifirst's performance reflects the stability of essential business services even amid economic uncertainty, as companies continue to require uniform and safety supply services regardless of broader economic conditions.

Healthcare Technology

Wednesday: Kestra Medical Technologies (KMTS)

Kestra Medical Technologies, a newcomer to public markets following its IPO in March 2025, represents the medical device sector with its sleep apnea therapy solutions. The company reported strong revenue growth of 82% in Q3 fiscal 2025 (quarter ended January 31, 2025) to $15.1 million, driven primarily by increased patient adoption and improved reimbursement realization. Despite revenue growth, the company continues to report operating losses as it scales operations and invests in growth initiatives. The medical device sector has shown resilience during economic downturns as healthcare needs remain constant, making Kestra's results particularly interesting for understanding how newer healthcare technology companies are performing.

Pharmaceuticals

Thursday: KalVista Pharmaceuticals (KALV)

KalVista Pharmaceuticals, a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on kallikrein-related diseases, recently achieved a significant milestone with FDA acceptance of its New Drug Application (NDA) for sebetralstat, setting a PDUFA goal date of June 17, 2025. The company reported Q2 2025 earnings with an EPS of -$0.91, which beat analyst consensus estimates of -$0.92. The pharmaceutical sector has shown mixed performance amid economic uncertainty, but companies with near-term approval catalysts like KalVista may be less affected by broader economic trends. Investors will be particularly focused on any updates regarding the regulatory approval process and commercialization preparations.

Telecommunications

Friday: PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLK)

PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia, Indonesia's leading telecommunications company, reported Q1 2025 revenue of Rp36.6 trillion ($2.23 billion), representing a 2.1% year-over-year decline. The company posted net earnings of $354.4 million with earnings per share of 36 cents. EBITDA reached Rp18.5 trillion with a strong margin of 50.5%, though this represented a 3.1% year-over-year decline. The telecommunications sector in emerging markets faces unique challenges from shifting consumer behaviors toward over-the-top services and digital transformation requirements. PT Telekomunikasi's results will provide insights into how major telecom operators in developing markets are adapting to these industry changes while managing macroeconomic pressures.

Investment Implications

This diverse earnings calendar offers investors a comprehensive view of corporate performance across multiple sectors during a period of significant economic uncertainty. The companies reporting span essential services (Unifirst), emerging healthcare technologies (Kestra Medical), traditional industrial sectors (Greenbrier), and international markets (PT Telekomunikasi).

Key themes to watch include companies' ability to maintain pricing power amid inflationary pressures, progress on operational efficiency initiatives, and forward guidance reflecting management's outlook on evolving economic conditions. Given the uncertain macroeconomic environment characterized by trade tensions and policy uncertainty, companies demonstrating strong balance sheets, diversified revenue streams, and adaptive strategies will likely outperform.

The technology and software sectors (Progress Software) will be scrutinized for their ability to navigate cybersecurity challenges and maintain growth in an uncertain IT spending environment. Energy companies (Uranium Energy) may benefit from ongoing discussions about energy security and clean energy transitions. Consumer-facing businesses (National Beverage, Constellation Brands) will provide crucial insights into spending patterns and economic resilience.

As we approach the end of Q2 2025, these earnings reports will serve as important indicators of how companies are positioning themselves for the remainder of the year amid continued economic and policy uncertainties. Success will likely favor companies that demonstrate operational flexibility, strategic vision, and the ability to capitalize on emerging opportunities while effectively managing persistent macroeconomic headwinds.

AngloGold Ashanti (AU) shares are tumbling approximately 11% in premarket trading on March 19, 2026, extending a steep multi-week correction that has now erased more than 35% of the stock's value from its March 2 peak of $129.14. The primary sustained catalyst driving the decline is AngloGold's lowered 2026 production guidance, projecting gold output of 2.80–3.17 million ounces — a mid-point decline versus the company's 2025 output of approximately 3.1 million ounces, and below analyst expectations.
CSIQ shares tumbled approximately 18% in premarket trading on March 19, 2026, following the release of deeply disappointing Q4 2025 earnings before the open. The company reported a net loss of $1.66 per diluted share, far worse than the Wall Street consensus estimate of -$0.98, representing a 69% earnings miss.
YRD shares are tumbling approximately 17% in premarket trading on March 19, 2026, from a prior close of $3.68 to approximately $3.05, following the company's release of Q4 and full-year 2025 financial results before the U.S. market open. Primary catalyst: A dramatic swing to net loss in Q4 2025. Yiren Digital reported a Q4 net loss of RMB 882.2 million (~USD 126.1 million), compared to net income of RMB 331.4 million in Q4 2024 — a more than $250 million deterioration year-over-year.
Shares of MU are down approximately 6.66% in premarket trading on March 19, 2026, sliding from a prior close of $461.73 to around $431.00. Despite a historic earnings beat — fiscal Q2 2026 revenue of $23.86 billion versus the $19.19 billion consensus, and adjusted EPS of $12.20 against an $8.79 estimate — the stock is experiencing a classic "sell the news" reaction.
NEM is trading approximately 9% lower in Thursday premarket, extending Wednesday's 4.56% session loss, as gold prices collapse following the Federal Reserve's hawkish policy hold. Gold spot prices fell 4.21% to $4,616.42 per ounce on March 19, marking the precious metal's sixth straight session of declines — its longest losing streak since late 2024.
Shares of VG are surging approximately +8% in Thursday's premarket session on March 19, 2026, with the stock trading near $16.04, up from the March 18 closing price of $14.85. The primary catalyst is a continuation of bullish momentum driven by a series of analyst price target upgrades, with Scotiabank most recently raising its target from $9 to $11.
LINC shares surged approximately +16% in premarket trading on March 19, 2026, reaching roughly $45.83 from a prior close of $39.51. Primary catalyst: Lincoln Educational Services is hosting its highly anticipated Investor Day today at its brand-new Nashville, TN campus, with presentations beginning at 10:00 am CT (11:00 am ET), live-streamed to investors globally.
PSLV is trading approximately 12% lower in premarket on March 19, 2026, tracking a violent selloff in silver futures. The Federal Reserve's hawkish hold on March 18 — keeping rates at 3.50%–3.75% while signaling fewer cuts ahead — was the primary macro trigger.
The Fed kept rates at 3.5–3.75% and signaled a “higher for longer” stance, with no urgency to cut and a willingness to tighten again if inflation stalls. This backdrop tends to favor quality growth, financials, energy, industrials, and health care, while pressuring long‑duration, leveraged sectors like speculative tech, small caps, utilities, and REITs.
PICS shares fell over 20% today, reversing much of their post‑IPO bounce and dropping well below the US$19 IPO price after initially trading in the mid‑US$15–16 range. The selloff followed PicPay’s Q4 and full‑year 2025 results, which showed strong revenue growth but highlighted thin margins, intense competition and ongoing execution risk in credit underwriting and payments.
RCAT shares fell over 16% today, dropping from recent levels near US$17 toward the mid‑US$14–15 range, after trading as high as US$18.78 in the past year and more than tripling from a 52‑week low of US$4.60.
HYMC shares fell over 13% today, sliding from the mid‑US$30s toward roughly US$31, after trading between US$2.30 and US$58.73 over the past 12 months and closing near US$39 just a few sessions ago.
USAS fell over 10% today, trading around US$5.83 by early afternoon from a previous close of US$6.55 — a one‑day decline of roughly 11% — as more than 5.9 million shares changed hands. The stock had surged earlier in 2026, with some data showing a move from about US$1.11 in March 2025 to over US$7.30 in mid‑March 2026 — a gain of more than 500% — leaving it vulnerable to profit‑taking.
CENX fell about 8.9% today, dropping US$4.94 to US$50.40 by midday, after closing at US$55.34 yesterday; shares now sit roughly 15% below their 52‑week high of US$59.12 but remain far above the 12‑month low of US$13.05. Q4 2025 results showed net sales of US$633.7 million and adjusted net income of US$128.2 million (US$1.25 per share), with adjusted EBITDA of US$170.6 million — a big sequential improvement — but GAAP net income was just US$1.8 million (US$0.02 per share), underscoring earnings volatility.
CNL shares fell over 8% today, trading down from around C$22.90 toward the low‑C$21s, after recently setting a new 1‑year high at C$28.99 on March 2 and gaining more than 70% over the past 12 months.
SMCI shares are plunging approximately 26% in Friday premarket trading, extending sharp after-hours losses from Thursday's session close of $30.79. The primary catalyst is a federal indictment unsealed March 19, 2026, charging three individuals associated with Super Micro — including a company co-founder — with conspiring to illegally export billions of dollars in AI server technology to China.
PL shares are surging approximately 19% in premarket trading on March 20, 2026, building on an 8.67% gain during the regular session on March 19. The primary catalyst is a blowout Q4 fiscal year 2026 earnings report released after the close on March 19, with quarterly revenue of $86.8 million — an 11.55% beat against consensus expectations of $77.81 million.
Unusual Machines (UMAC) is trading down approximately -8.60% in premarket on March 20, 2026, extending losses from the prior session. The primary catalyst is a proposed public stock offering announced after the market close on March 19, 2026, raising dilution concerns among investors.
FDX surged approximately 7% in premarket trading on March 20, 2026, moving from the prior session close of $356.11 to around $381. The primary catalyst is a blowout fiscal Q3 2026 earnings report, with adjusted EPS of $5.25 — beating Wall Street's consensus estimate of $4.13 by more than 27%.
Kingsoft Cloud Holdings Limited (KC) shares plunged about 9% in the most recent session, extending a sharp pullback after a recent rally. The selloff reflects mounting concerns around profitability, with the company still loss-making and showing weak multi-year revenue growth.
