Is Dutch Bros Stock a Buy as Shares Plunge?

Dutch Bros stock has plummeted over 40% this year as investors worry about slowing same-store sales growth and increased competition. However, the author argues the stock is now a bargain, highlighting the company's strong expansion potential (planning 250 new locations in 2027), solid Q3 comparable-store sales growth of 4.4%, and attractive valuation at 1.9x forward P/S ratio compared to Starbucks' 3.2x multiple. The author recommends buying Dutch Bros on this dip.
