Coffee revenue up 31%, but margin hit hard

est. revisions stable (+0.7pp / 30d)

The top-line story is strong—Black Rifle is taking share and expanding shelf space faster than the category. But the margin compression shows how commodity inflation and tariffs can overwhelm volume gains. If coffee costs stabilize, the company's scale and distribution gains should flow through to earnings. If not, 2026 could squeeze again.

Watch: Track Q1 2026 gross margin closely to see if the 34-36% target holds—coffee price stabilization is the key variable. Also watch whether the energy drink rollout maintains momentum above 20,000 doors.
