Kraft Heinz's first quarter results for 2025 were shaped by ongoing volume declines and increased investment in its brands amid a shifting consumer landscape. Management pointed to decreased sales volumes and softer demand in key categories as primary headwinds, but also highlighted continued efforts to renovate products and increase marketing spend. CEO Carlos Abrams-Rivera noted that, while improvements in brand quality and product innovation are underway, they are not yet evident in the financial results. He emphasized, "our commitment to making the necessary investments to deliver quality and value offerings to our consumers is unwavering."
Altria’s first quarter results were shaped by continued declines in its core cigarette volumes, which management attributed mainly to consumer migration toward illicit flavored e-vapor products and ongoing inflationary pressure. CEO Billy Gifford noted, “The cumulative impact of inflation over time is driving consumers to seek price relief, particularly through illicit e-vapor options.” Despite these headwinds, Altria leveraged robust pricing strategies and maintained profitability in its smokeable segment, supported by Marlboro’s brand strength and targeted use of promotional resources.
Labcorp’s first quarter saw steady execution in a complex environment, with results that prompted a positive market response. Management pointed to volume recovery in its Diagnostics Laboratories segment, following early quarter weather disruptions, and highlighted momentum from recent acquisitions such as Invitae. CEO Adam Schechter credited “strong managed care access and our payer contracts” for supporting growth, while noting that operational efficiencies helped offset inflation in personnel costs. The biopharma laboratory services segment also contributed, with improved margins and a robust book-to-bill ratio.
Armstrong World Industries’ first quarter results were marked by solid revenue growth and margin expansion, leading to a positive response from the market. Management credited this performance to pricing discipline, manufacturing productivity gains, and the successful integration of recent acquisitions. CEO Vic Grizzle highlighted the company’s ability to maintain high service and quality standards despite softer volumes in the Mineral Fiber segment, noting that “AUV was a key driver of EBITDA growth and margin expansion.” Architectural Specialties delivered particularly strong growth, benefitting from both organic momentum and contributions from Three Form and Zaynor.
Avantor’s first quarter results fell short of Wall Street’s revenue expectations, and the market responded negatively, reflecting investor concern over the company’s near-term growth trajectory. Management attributed the shortfall to weakened demand across education and government end markets, as well as a sharp decline in funding for bench-stage biotech companies. CEO Michael Stubblefield was candid about performance, stating, "We are not satisfied with our first quarter performance." He highlighted that while earnings and margins were in line with internal plans, the top line was pressured by external factors and competitive intensity, particularly in the Lab Solutions business.
Republic Services’ first quarter results reflected strong pricing execution and disciplined cost management, allowing the company to expand margins despite persistent softness in waste volumes. Management pointed to the ability to price ahead of inflation as a key driver, with CEO John Vander Ark highlighting that “average yield on total revenue was 4.5%,” helping offset weather-related headwinds and weaker construction and manufacturing activity. While underlying sales volumes remained under pressure, the company’s focus on operational efficiency and portfolio mix supported robust earnings growth.
Comfort Systems began 2025 with results that exceeded Wall Street’s expectations, driven by broad-based demand across its core end markets and strong execution in large, complex projects.

CEO Brian Lane pointed to “persistent strong demand from our tech customers” and highlighted record backlog levels as evidence of ongoing strength. Additionally, the company benefited from robust gross margin expansion, particularly in both the mechanical and electrical segments, reflecting operational discipline and effective cost management.
