If you take a step back, there are a lot of weird aspects to Wall Street.

One of those is that companies report their results four times a year.

Imagine owning a real-world business but only getting an update about how it is doing once every three months.

With the pace of the change in the world, it certainly might create some surprises.

Good and bad.

The good news for HX Society subscribers is that HX Trader (…and now STP Trader) we know how to take advantage of this situation.

Not only does earnings season generate a ton of new ideas for our strategy but it also gives us an opportunity to make some big profits.

Today, we are going to book two of those profits.

Back at the start of July, we recommended shares of online language learning platform company Duolingo Inc. (DUOL).

You can read our original report here.

This company has been a leader in harnessing the evolution of technology to help people learn new languages. This has led to explosive growth.

In the last five years, the company has gone from losing -$2.50 in earnings per share (EPS) to being on pace to post over $3 per share in 2025. They are expected to almost double that again in the next two years.

Despite this incredible growth, the shares had pulled back almost -40% as there were investor concerns about a deceleration in growth and larger concerns about the impact of AI.

We looked at the situation and saw an outstanding growth company with a great track record of crushing numbers.

That is exactly what they did AGAIN last night as they reported blow out numbers. They saw +40% y/y growth in active users and beat estimates on revenue, EBITDA and EPS. They also raised full year guidance.

With the stock soaring today, we are going to take some profits.

Planifica el comercio, comercio el plan!

Our most recent recommendation – coffee shop retail chain Dutch Bros Inc. (BROS) – is seeing a similar positive reaction to earnings today.

You can read our original report here.

This chain – based in my hometown of Phoenix, AZ – has built a cult following with their specialty on sweet drinks that appeal to younger generations.

They have now grown to over 1000 locations in 18 states and have seen explosive earnings growth.

Recently, the shares have pulled back after a massive run in the stock. Part of this pullback was just a healthy rest in the share price but there were also concerns about same-store sales, a lack of big news out of their March investor day and overall concerns about the consumer.

With the stock down more than -30% from its highs, we saw an opportunity. Especially as the company has a great track record of beating numbers.

Last night, they did it again!

They beat number handily and also raised full year estimates. The result is that the shares are flying today.

We are going to finish off this tasty cup of profits and recommend selling your shares.
