Intuit delivered another strong quarter on the surface, but the latest results tell a more nuanced story beneath the headline numbers.

NVIDIA delivered another quarter that almost defies conventional scale. Revenue surged 85% year over year to $81.6 billion, while diluted EPS jumped 214% to $2.39, showing that this is still not simply a story of high demand, but one of enormous operating leverage.

McDonald’s Corporation delivered a stronger-than-expected first quarter as the company continued to prove that scale, pricing power and operational consistency remain major competitive advantages even in a more cautious consumer environment.
