Ahead of the investor event, JBS executives marked the occasion by ringing the opening bell — an honor personally conducted by Mr. José Batista Sobrinho, known as Zé Mineiro, the founder of JBS. Mr. Zé Mineiro established the company in 1953 in Anápolis, Goiás, starting from a small butcher shop. The company's name, JBS, carries his initials — a lasting tribute to its origins. More than 70 years later, JBS has grown into a global company that continues to honor its roots while feeding people around the world.
'This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter for JBS,' said JBS CEO Gilberto Tomazoni. 'Our recent listing on the NYSE is the culmination of incredibly hard work of teams in every corner of our global organization and better positions JBS to fulfill our ambitions to be the world's leading food company. Through key growth projects, JBS can meet the strong consumer demand for high-quality proteins and build on the win-win relationships we have established with our producer partners. We are grateful for the opportunity to engage with our U.S.-based investors and look forward to continuing to showcase our vision to feed a growing world, while creating a better future for our team members and the communities in which we operate.'
Before the bell-ringing ceremony, Mr. Wesley Batista, controlling shareholder of JBS, delivered a brief speech to guests and investors. 'While we grow and adapt, our way of working remains the same. We are focused. We are disciplined. We are determined to be the best in all that we do,' he said — a message that reflects the company's mission and enduring commitment to operational excellence across its global operations.
Speaking to an audience of more than 100 analysts and investors, JBS presented its long-term growth and value creation strategy, key areas of investment across its global operations. The presentation was led by Wesley Batista, controlling shareholder of JBS; Wesley Batista Filho, CEO of JBS USA; Gilberto Tomazoni, Global CEO; and Guilherme Cavalcanti, Global CFO.

Why Bloom Energy Plunged Today Before Recovering
Key Points Bloom's energy server technology is a great fit for AI data centers. Last night's earnings report was strong, with Bloom beating revenue expectations. However, the stock had already rallied on a big announcement with Oracle last week, leading to profit taking following earnings. 10 stocks we like better than Bloom Energy › Shares of on-premises electricity generator provider Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) plunged initially today, down 13% at one point, before recovering to a 1.4% decline as of 3:26 p.m. ET. Bloom reported second-quarter earnings last night, beating revenue estimates but missing the mark on the adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings-per-share (EPS) line. Of course, Bloom is a growth stock, so the top line matters more. However, since the stock had already had a massive run following recent deals with big data center and utility names, investors appeared to take profits on the less-than-absolutely perfect quarter. Management also merely "reaffirmed" 2025 guidance, without raising numbers. Bloom Energy is blooming at AI data centers In Q2, revenue climbed 19.5% to $401.2 million, beating expectations, while adjusted losses per share narrowed from $0.27 to $0.18, missing expectations of $0.08. Bloom management also said it was looking forward to doubling its production capacity, which will no doubt entail higher costs. But that capacity growth appears to be backed up by strong demand. Bloom's energy server product can produce electricity from either natural gas or hydrogen via a chemical process without combustion, thereby lowering emissions. The technology appears to be on the brink of much wider adoption, given the need for reliable, cleaner electricity at AI data centers. Last week, Bloom announced a direct partnership with Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) in which Bloom will supply on-site power to Oracle data centers within 90 days. The announcement sent the stock flying, and CEO KR Sridhar noted the partnership may pave the way for more direct deals with AI hyperscalers. On the conference call with analysts, Sridhar noted the Oracle deal is "the first time we as a company are directly interacting with the hyperscaler as our are the primary source, and it is load following. So it will prove that we can load follow at large scale." Earnings seem to be a "sell-the-news" event Bloom has exciting AI-fueled growth potential, but since the stock had already rocketed higher last week on the Oracle announcement, it appears investors were eager to take profits on the less-than-perfect quarter. However, the bounce back following today's initial plunge indicates there weren't really any red flags to speak of. Valuation would be the biggest risk here, as Bloom's stock is quite expensive. Shares trade for 5.5 times sales and 80 times this year's adjusted earnings estimates. Should you buy stock in Bloom Energy right now?

Positive Points Quanta Services Inc (NYSE:PWR) reported strong double-digit growth in revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share for Q2 2025. The company announced a record backlog of $35.8 billion, indicating strong future business prospects.

A: Duke Austin, President and CEO: We are confident in our growth trajectory, with a history of 20% plus growth over the past decade. Our strategic acquisitions and investments in technology and infrastructure position us well for future growth, particularly in the AI and power demand sectors. Q: How has the increased workload affected your bidding process, and are you able to be more selective with projects?

A: Duke Austin, President and CEO: We are seeing pull-ins on LNTPs and have customers who are well safe-harbored into the future. We remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of renewables, given their cost-effectiveness and speed to market. Q: How are you preparing for potential short-term slowdowns in renewables, and what are the potential synergies from the Dynamic Systems acquisition?
