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.

The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) advanced roughly 18% over the trailing 30 days, closely tracking a sharp rally in Solana (SOL). The move extends a broader recovery, with BSOL up approximately 77% over the past three months from its mid-2026 trough.
MSTY is an actively managed single-stock option income ETF (exchange-traded fund) that writes call options on Strategy (MSTR), formerly MicroStrategy, to generate current income. The portfolio is anchored by U.S. Treasury bills and MSTR option contracts rather than a diversified basket of equities, concentrating exposure in one volatile underlying.
AMDL has surged roughly +64% over the past 30 days, from about $47.59 to $78.10, mirroring a powerful rally in its sole underlying stock, AMD . The fund is a leveraged single-stock ETF (exchange-traded fund) designed to deliver 2x the daily return of AMD, amplifying both gains and losses.
TSMX, a 2x daily leveraged single-stock ETF (exchange-traded fund), rose roughly +19% over the trailing 30 days, rebounding sharply from mid-September lows. The fund seeks 200% of the daily return of TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing), meaning its moves are roughly double the underlying stock's daily swings.
Contracted revenue anchor: A roughly $3.2 billion, seven-year LNG (liquefied natural gas) supply agreement with Puerto Rico has received final approval, providing multi-year cash-flow visibility if execution stays on track. Project pipeline inflection: Upcoming milestones include the Barcarena and PortoCem power plants in Brazil, a potential Gás Sul terminal restart, and optimization of the company's modular "Fast LNG" (FLNG) liquefaction fleet.
AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) designs central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and AI accelerators, while LRCX (Lam Research) supplies the wafer-fabrication equipment used to build advanced chips. AMD has delivered strong double-digit revenue growth on AI data-center demand, but its shares trade with elevated expectations that can trigger sharp reactions around earnings.
Origination momentum: Velocity Financial enters 2026 off record annual originations of roughly $2.7 billion (up about 48%), positioning it to keep gaining share in a fragmented investor-loan market. Credit normalization is the central watch item: Nonperforming loans fell toward the 8.5% range of portfolio unpaid principal balance (UPB), but asset quality remains the primary swing factor for earnings.
Turnaround milestone ahead: Management has pointed to reaching cash generation in 2027, making the pace of cost discipline and margin recovery the central question for the stock forecast. Fresh capital supports execution: A recently announced $45.5 million equity financing, with participation from management and a single institutional investor, strengthens the balance sheet as the company funds its transformation.
NFE closed at $5.51, down -6.13% during Tuesday's regular session, extending a slide that has pushed shares near a 52-week low. Primary catalyst: the company disclosed its Fast LNG unit is offline after a gas-turbine mechanical failure, with return to service not expected until Q4.
The central $11 target is the arithmetic mean of four verified analyst price targets, rounded from roughly $10.75. With the stock near $2.06, reaching $11 would require an upside of more than 400%, an extremely large move.
The $23 central target is the rounded arithmetic mean of four verified analyst price targets, which average $23.25. The latest verified price is around $9.57, meaning the target implies roughly 140% upside—a very large move.
NXH closed down -11.17% (-$0.23) to $1.83 on Oct 6, the most recent regular session, extending a steep two-day decline. Selling continued as investors digested the mutual termination of the Fathom Holdings merger and a dilutive $45.5M registered direct offering of ~16.5M shares at $2.76.
AMD is a large-cap designer of CPUs (central processing units) and GPUs (graphics processing units) competing directly with Nvidia in the AI accelerator market, while FORM is a small-cap provider of semiconductor test and measurement equipment, primarily probe cards. AMD's narrative has been driven by multi-billion-dollar hyperscaler deals, while FORM's has been powered by record revenue and sharp margin expansion tied to high-bandwidth memory (HBM) demand.
AMD has surged roughly 200% year to date, crossing a $1 trillion market capitalization on AI data-center demand and a "CPU renaissance" narrative. KLAC has gained about 71% year to date, supported by record process-control revenue and rapid growth in advanced packaging for AI chips.
AMD is a large-cap semiconductor designer riding explosive AI compute demand, while ENTG is a mid-cap supplier of materials and purity solutions that feed the same AI-driven chip cycle. AMD recently crossed a $1 trillion market capitalization on surging data center revenue, whereas ENTG operates at a far smaller scale (roughly $23 billion) with steadier, double-digit growth.
VELO closed Tuesday at $9.57, unchanged (+0.00%) from the prior session, with the move occurring during regular market hours. The flat close marked stabilization after Monday's -14.5% plunge, when shares fell to $9.57 from $11.20 following disclosure of CFO James Suva's departure.
The $8 target used here is a technical, publicly discussed recovery objective — not an analyst consensus — because legacy analyst price targets were set before NFE's restructuring and reverse stock split. New Fortress Energy Inc. ( NFE ) trades near $5.51, so reaching $8 implies a roughly 45% advance.
AVBP plunged -46.98% during Tuesday's regular session, closing at $15.09 versus $28.46, marking its worst single-day decline on record. The catalyst was the Phase 3 FURVENT trial of firmonertinib failing its primary endpoint—progression-free survival—in first-line EGFR exon 20 insertion non-small cell lung cancer.
Upcoming catalyst: The company's next earnings release is estimated for November 6, 2026, which should offer fresh detail on its SKY token holdings, staking rewards, and treasury strategy. Strategic positioning: SDEV is an on-chain holding company providing public-market exposure to the Sky protocol ecosystem, with SKY as its core digital asset and a stated focus on the stablecoin economy.
Different roles in the chip ecosystem: AMAT is a materials-engineering and deposition leader, while KLAC dominates process control, inspection, and yield management. Momentum favors AMAT: AMAT shares have more than doubled this year, while KLAC has recently pulled back roughly 9% in a month on margin and execution concerns.
