Byrna's (NASDAQ:BYRN) Q2 Earnings Results: Revenue In Line With Expectations
Non-lethal weapons company Byrna (NASDAQ:BYRN) met Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q2 CY2025, with sales up 40.6% year on year to $28.51 million. Its GAAP profit of $0.10 per share was 42.9% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Byrna? Find out in our full research report. Revenue: $28.51 million vs analyst estimates of $28.47 million (40.6% year-on-year growth, in line) EPS (GAAP): $0.10 vs analyst estimates of $0.07 (42.9% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $4.3 million vs analyst estimates of $3.17 million (15.1% margin, 35.5% beat) Operating Margin: 11.7%, up from 9.4% in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $732.5 million Byrna CEO Bryan Ganz stated: 'The launch of the Byrna CL in May helped us deliver a record $28.5 million in revenue for the second quarter. Despite overall softness in consumer spending, our focused marketing and retail expansion strategies allowed us to continue growing our total addressable market and reach new milestones. Looking ahead, we expect that the CL will be a larger part of our sales mix, especially now that it is available to customers on Amazon." Providing civilians with tools to disable, disarm, and deter would-be assailants, Byrna (NASDAQ:BYRN) is a provider of non-lethal weapons. A company's long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but many enduring ones grow for years. Luckily, Byrna's sales grew at an incredible 28.9% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. Its growth surpassed the average industrials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers, a great starting point for our analysis. Long-term growth is the most important, but within industrials, a half-decade historical view may miss new industry trends or demand cycles. Byrna's annualized revenue growth of 46.3% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting its demand was strong and recently accelerated. We note Byrna isn't alone in its success as the Law Enforcement Suppliers industry experienced a boom, with many similar businesses also posting double-digit growth. This quarter, Byrna's year-on-year revenue growth of 40.6% was magnificent, and its $28.51 million of revenue was in line with Wall Street's estimates. We also like to judge companies based on their projected revenue growth, but not enough Wall Street analysts cover the company for it to have reliable consensus estimates. This signals Byrna could be a hidden gem because it doesn't get attention from professional brokers. Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we've identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link. Although Byrna was profitable this quarter from an operational perspective, it's generally struggled over a longer time period. Its expensive cost structure has contributed to an average operating margin of negative 3% over the last five years. Unprofitable industrials companies require extra attention because they could get caught swimming naked when the tide goes out. On the plus side, Byrna's operating margin rose by 8.8 percentage points over the last five years, as its sales growth gave it operating leverage. Still, it will take much more for the company to show consistent profitability. This quarter, Byrna generated an operating margin profit margin of 11.7%, up 2.2 percentage points year on year. This increase was a welcome development and shows it was more efficient. Revenue trends explain a company's historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth – for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions. Byrna's full-year EPS flipped from negative to positive over the last five years. This is a good sign and shows it's at an inflection point. Like with revenue, we analyze EPS over a shorter period to see if we are missing a change in the business. For Byrna, its two-year annual EPS growth of 117% was higher than its five-year trend. We love it when earnings growth accelerates, especially when it accelerates off an already high base. In Q2, Byrna reported EPS at $0.10, up from $0.09 in the same quarter last year. This print easily cleared analysts' estimates, and shareholders should be content with the results. We also like to analyze expected EPS growth based on Wall Street analysts' consensus projections, but there is insufficient data. This signals Byrna could be a hidden gem because it doesn't have much coverage among professional brokers. We were impressed by how significantly Byrna blew past analysts' EPS expectations this quarter. We were also excited its EBITDA outperformed Wall Street's estimates by a wide margin. Zooming out, we think this quarter featured some important positives. The stock remained flat at $32.48 immediately after reporting. Byrna put up rock-solid earnings, but one quarter doesn't necessarily make the stock a buy. Let's see if this is a good investment. When making that decision, it's important to consider its valuation, business qualities, as well as what has happened in the latest quarter. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it's free.

5 companies that could hit a $4 trillion market cap after Nvidia
Yesterday, Nvidia Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) became the first company to surpass a $4 trillion market capitalization. The AI chip giant did so on the strength of its position in the artificial intelligence race that has been sweeping the globe. Nvidia makes the graphics cards and other computing infrastructure that power AI platforms. A company's market capitalization, or 'market cap,' is determined by adding up the total value of all the shares in that company. As of yesterday, when you added up Nvidia's total shares, you got a value of more than $4 trillion. But Nvidia isn't the only company that will likely cross this $4 trillion milestone. Here are other companies that are close—or relatively close—to the $4 trillion market valuation mark, as of the close of the market yesterday, according to stock market data from Yahoo Finance. Microsoft Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq: MSFT) closed at $503.51 per share yesterday, bringing the company's market cap to just north of $3.7 trillion. This makes the Windows maker the second-most valuable company, only behind Nvidia. Of course, like all the companies on this list, its stock price's current and past performance are no predictor of where the company's valuation goes next. Still, as of the time of this writing, Microsoft is less than $300 billion in value away from becoming the world's second $4 trillion company. Apple Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) was the first public company in history to cross the $1 trillion, $2 trillion, and $3 trillion market cap marks. Currently, it ranks third in the world's most valuable public companies. Yesterday, the company's shares closed at $211.14, giving Apple a market cap of just over $3.1 trillion. That means Apple is about $900 billion in value shy of a $4 trillion market cap. While this brings Apple closer in value to $4 trillion than the rest of the companies on this list, the $900 billion gap means Apple's stock price will need to rise by nearly 25% to reach a $4 trillion market cap. The closest Apple has ever come to this threshold is a market cap of $3.9 trillion last year—nearly there. Amazon The e-retail giant Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) is next closest to a $4 trillion market cap. But first, it's got to pass the $3 trillion mark, too. As of yesterday's close at $222.54, Amazon has a market capitalization of approximately $2.3 trillion. This means the stock needs to nearly double in value to reach a $4 trillion market capitalization. Alphabet (Google) Right behind Amazon is Alphabet Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG), owner of Google. The search giant's share price closed at $177.66 yesterday, giving it a market cap of just over $2.1 trillion. Again, that makes it one of the most valuable companies ever, but it also means that Alphabet still needs to pass the $3 trillion mark before it can hope to achieve a $4 trillion valuation, matching Nvidia's. Meta Facebook owner Meta Platforms, Inc. (Nasdaq: META) is the next closest U.S. company to a $4 trillion valuation. However, it is currently a long way from reaching that milestone. The company's shares closed at $732.78 yesterday, giving it a market cap of just over $1.8 trillion. That means Meta shares need to more than double to reach a $4 trillion valuation. Road to $10 trillion? That any public company would have a trillion-dollar market cap once seemed unimaginable. But then on August 2, 2018, Apple did just that, becoming the world's first trillion-dollar company. It took 37 years, 7 months, and 21 days to reach that milestone after its initial public offering on December 12, 1980. Apple's next trillion dollars came much faster. On August 19, 2020, Apple became the first company to surpass a $2 trillion market capitalization. It added that extra trillion in valuation in just 2 years and 17 days. Then, just 2 years, 10 months, and 11 days later, Apple became the first company to cross a $3 trillion market cap. Since Apple first became a 12-figure company in 2018, many other U.S. companies have surpassed this milestone. That includes Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla, and Broadcom. What's remarkable about Nvidia's rise to the most valuable publicly traded company ever is that while it took Nvidia just over 24 years to cross the $1 trillion market cap in June 2023, it took the company a mere 2 years and change to cross the $4 trillion mark. That's an addition of another $3 trillion in market capitalization in less than 25 months. Of course, there's no guarantee that Nvidia stays above the $4 trillion market cap mark. Yet, the rate at which the biggest tech companies are increasing their market caps in recent years suggests that, if things continue on the same trajectory, the world may very well see its first $10 trillion company (or companies) before this decade is over.
