Immersion Investment Partners stated the following regarding Dutch Bros Inc. (NYSE:BROS) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Dutch Bros Inc. (NYSE:BROS) – (Doubted Champion) is a position that we have held since May 2024 and is now a top five holding in the fund. We believe that Dutch Bros is a rare, compelling restaurant asset in the public market landscape. It shares similar favorable long-term trends to restaurant success stories like Wingstop and Domino’s but is much earlier in its growth trajectory. Even more appealing is that it carries with it a cult-like following similar to Chick-fil-A or In-N-Out Burgers.
