GRANTS PASS, Ore. - Dutch Bros Inc. (NYSE:BROS) shares soared 9.85% in after-hours trading Wednesday after the drive-thru beverage chain reported third-quarter results that beat expectations and raised its full-year guidance.
The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.16, surpassing the analyst consensus of $0.12. Revenue jumped 27.9% year-over-year to $338.2 million, exceeding estimates of $324.8 million.
