Helium Mobile, a T-Mobile MVNO, introduces a low-cost, worry-free plan for kids

We've already told you about Helium Mobile. The T-Mobile MVNO has a free 5G wireless plan that I use on my Pixel 6 Proso that it can become a useful smartphone again instead of having to rely on a Wi-Fi connection. Of course, Google's release of Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1.1 has also helped to make the phone feel fresh and responsive. With Helium's Zero Plan, I pay nothing for 3GB of 5G data, 100 minutes of calls, 5GB of hotspot data, and 300 texts each month. Today, Helium announced a Kids Plan that it calls Sprout. Kids get their own wireless line for only $5 per month and their parents stay in control. Helium says that 51% of children eight and younger own a mobile device and Sprout is the wireless plan made for them. The plan requires that the child use a device he or she already owns. This is a brilliant move by Helium because, in a stressful situation, the child won't have to go fumbling to find a person's number and make a call or send an emergency text on a new device. -Coco Tang, General Manager of Helium Mobile Subscribers Switching to Helium is a snap with the MVNO's Concierge Service. Helium's agents will contact your previous carrier making it easy to switch. As Helium says, Concierge Service makes the transition to a new wireless provider "smooth and disruption-free." With Sprout, parents won't have to worry about their kids running wild through the internet. Parents can "manage the account, set boundaries, approve usage, and monitor data directly from their phones." And Helium points out that unlike its Zero Plan, which is available only to those 18 years of age and older, the kids are not included in the anonymized location data that Helium collects. Sprout includes: Nationwide 5G coverage from T-Mobile 's low-band 600MHz nationwide 5G network. 's low-band 600MHz nationwide 5G network. 3GB of data + unlimited talk and text allowing the kids to make calls and texts without worrying about going over a limit. Flexible family management – Parents or guardians have control over the account which allows them to place limits on data use. Upgrade anytime to other Helium plans such as Air (10GB for $15) or Infinity (unlimited data for $30). Both plans still give parents or guardians full control over the plan. Kids can earn Cloud Store rewards which can be turned into gift cards for top national brands. Of course, the parents have the last word over which cards their children can choose. Control comes through the Helium Mobile app available for iOS and Android. Helium Mobile introduces a plan made for kids. | Image credit-Helium Mobile Sprout is the perfect first plan for kids.

CEO Ryan Barretto emphasized the company's momentum with large-scale brands, citing new strategic wins in industries such as medical devices, food and beverage, and hospitality. Management attributed growth to robust execution in its go-to-market team, with particular strength in expanding relationships with high-value customers. Notably, Sprout Social's updated influencer marketing platform and integrations with Salesforce and LinkedIn were highlighted as meaningful product advances. The leadership team also discussed continued resilience in customer retention, crediting improvements in onboarding, support, and a newly implemented customer success platform aimed at proactively identifying renewal risks and expansion opportunities. Looking ahead, Sprout Social's management outlined a measured but optimistic outlook, centered on continued enterprise expansion, multi-product adoption, and deeper integration with global partners. Barretto explained, "We're expanding our sales capacity this year and will continue to throughout the first half, which we believe will drive further momentum in our pipeline generation and enterprise coverage." The company expects elongated sales cycles and stable demand trends to persist through the year, but sees opportunities in cross-selling influencer marketing and customer care modules to both existing and new customers. CFO Joe Del Preto noted, 'We remain committed to growing operating leverage on a year-over-year basis, and will continue to evaluate our ability to drive greater profitability as the year progresses,' underscoring a focus on operational discipline as the company invests in its enterprise go-to-market strategy. Management credited the quarter's performance to targeted enterprise wins, expansion of AI-powered solutions, and enhancements in customer care and partnerships, despite a stable but cautious demand environment. Enterprise customer growth: Sprout Social secured several strategic deals with Fortune 500 companies across diverse sectors, leveraging its ability to consolidate social media management for large organizations. The expansion of $50,000+ annual recurring revenue (ARR) customers was driven by tailored solutions addressing complex enterprise needs. Influencer marketing platform rebrand: The company relaunched its influencer marketing product, incorporating AI-powered natural language discovery and advanced creator vetting features. This update was positioned to help brands quickly identify and engage creators, reflecting the company's response to the shift in consumer discovery trends toward social platforms. AI and automation enhancements: Recent releases included AI Assist for content generation, customer care features like Agentforce integration with Salesforce, and accessibility tools such as AI-driven alt text for images. These tools were designed to streamline workflows and improve inclusivity for both customers and end-users. Go-to-market and sales investments: Management increased sales capacity and implemented a new customer success platform, aiming to proactively manage renewals and expansion opportunities. The sales organization's focus on multi-product selling was supported by new compensation plans and account intent signals. Partnership and ecosystem expansion: The company made progress in global partnerships, particularly with Salesforce and AWS, and began building a network of international resellers to boost its presence in Europe and Asia-Pacific. These efforts were seen as long-term accelerators for pipeline growth and market access. Sprout Social's outlook is shaped by enterprise sales momentum, multi-product expansion, and ongoing investment in strategic partnerships, all while navigating a cautious macro environment. Enterprise pipeline expansion: Management anticipates that growing enterprise pipeline coverage, combined with increased sales capacity, will sustain revenue growth. The company is targeting higher-value customers and larger deals, with the expectation that enterprise adoption will drive average contract value upward. Product cross-sell and adoption: The company's push for multi-product adoption, particularly influencer marketing and customer care modules, is expected to increase both customer retention and wallet share. Leadership sees significant room to deepen penetration within the existing customer base and to upsell new customers at the point of sale. Macro stability and operational discipline: While Sprout Social does not expect the demand environment to improve in the near term, management is focused on maintaining operational flexibility and margin improvement through disciplined hiring and expense management. The company is also monitoring risks related to tariffs and federal spending cuts that could affect customer budgets. In the coming quarters, our analysts will focus on (1) continued growth in enterprise pipeline and conversion rates, (2) adoption rates of new AI-powered influencer and customer care products, and (3) the expansion of global partnerships, especially through new reseller channels in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Execution on multi-product cross-sell and sustained operational discipline will also be important markers. Sprout Social currently trades at a forward price-to-sales ratio of 2.7×.

Check your fridge! Salads, salsas recalled for salmonella concerns sold in Vermont.

Some salad and salsa products sold in Vermont were called this past week due to concerns over salmonella contamination. The Food and Drug Administration published a recall announcement saying that 17 products were made with cucumbers grown by Bedner Growers, Inc., who recently recalled some of their cucumbers due to salmonella contamination. Out of a similar concern, these products were recalled. "Consumers, restaurants, retailers, and wholesalers should not eat, sell, or serve the recalled products containing those cucumbers," the administration said. The affected items were distributed to stores between May 6, 2025, and May 21, 2025, to multiple customers in Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia, Washington D.C., and West Virginia. Here are the salad and salsa products recalled in Vermont. Here are the recalled salad products, according to the Food and Drug administration.

How to master a healthy and satisfying salad this summer

Never underestimate the power of early food experiences: Growing up with salad on the menu was the point of entry into a food business for Theo Kirwin of Irish salad-focused restaurant Sprout & Co. 'In my childhood, I was fortunate to have a mum who was interested in eating good food, and she instilled that into us,' says Theo, who, together with his brother Jack, set up Sprout & Co in 2015. 'We would always have had a salad with every dinner growing up. To this day, when cooking for friends, I like to put salads on the table. I think that a big green salad goes with everything.' Theo also brought another essential element from childhood: That salad secret sauce, a good dressing, his father's speciality. '[Dad] made a really good green salad with a very mustardy French dressing. We all learned how to make the French dressing when we were kids,' he says. 'We always knew that salads could be delicious and that they should be much more than just dainty leaves or a 'guilt-free' option. They're much more delicious than that. We wanted to create healthy food that is flavour-led. The ethos of Sprout was to create healthy, fresh food using local and seasonal ingredients to make something properly delicious. And we haven't strayed from that idea since day one.' In 2015, when the brothers first opened Sprout & Co in Dublin city centre, locally-sourced, seasonal, healthy food on the high street wasn't perceived as something that would set the world alight. 'At the time, salads were niche,' says Theo. Three cafés had already failed in the Dawson St location where they started. Ten years later, having survived the covid-caused hospitality crisis, there are seven Sprout & Co outlets in Dublin, one in Kildare Village, and work is under way on their ninth restaurant, on Cork's Winthrop St, due to open at the end of the summer. Unlike the oft-ignored traditional Irish side salad featuring limp lettuce leaves, slices of tasteless tomatoes, peppers, and lots of raw red onion (to remind you of your meal hours later), Sprout & Co takes a salad to another level: The menu is split into warm bowls, signature salads and wraps, along with a few seasonal sides. Each dish — for example, current favourite Tokyo bowl or the classic paprika chica — is layered up from a base of grains, vegetables, and proteins (beans, chicken, trout, tofu) and finished with punchy dressings and crunchy toppings. There are vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. These colourful, full-textured, and flavoured salads can also be produced in the home kitchen. Theo's cookbook, last year's bestselling Sprout & Co Saladology: Fresh Ideas for Delicious Salads (Mitchell Beazley), gives many recipes from the restaurant kitchens, albeit in more manageable quantities. The recipes also appear on the kinetic Sprout & Co social media feeds on Instagram and YouTube (@sproutandco), and TikTok (@sprout_and_co). Theo's fast-paced, ASMR-friendly cooking videos, including the popular 'Stop Giving Away Our Secrets' series, give a curated insight into the recipes behind many of the dishes. It's also where they tell the story of their suppliers, including Goatsbridge trout and Manor Farm Irish chicken, and the Sprout farm in Kildare, where they've worked on growing some of their seasonal supplies since 2018. 'We were inspired [by the owners of] Ballymaloe and Longueville House and restaurants in the fine dining space who were growing for themselves,' says ¦Theo, 'as a way of bringing in the best quality. Why couldn't a fast casual restaurant take the same approach?' The idea of managing a farm-to-fork or seed-to-bowl operation is ambitious; the reality, as any grower knows, can be very different. 'It was incredibly challenging,' he admits. "It's still very challenging, but it's really rewarding, and when you taste it, you notice it.' The farm, under Trevor Harris's leadership, is certified organic and biodynamic and, after much experimentation, focuses on growing kale, cos lettuce, mustard greens, parsley, spinach, and rocket that can quickly go from field to restaurant. As soon as vegetables are harvested, they start to lose flavour and nutrients, so it makes sense to shorten the supply chain if at all possible. It's something that Jack had noticed when he had a memorable encounter with a just-picked tomato while doing the 12-week certificate course at Ballymaloe Cookery School in 2012; Theo followed suit in 2020. 'It's such an amazing place for anyone interested in food and wanting to learn about food,' Theo says about his time at the Cookery School. 'You're surrounded by people talking about food and seasonality, cooking with and eating the best local produce and vegetables that they're growing in the gardens and farm.' By taking childhood salad experiences and bringing them right up to date for health-conscious 21st-century consumers, Sprout & Co has put itself on the map, eight (almost nine) times over. When it comes down to it, salads still grab Theo. 'We're really a flavour-first food brand,' he explains. 'We're not nutritionists —we're not creating things in a laboratory — but we are really excited about creating delicious food that's craveable, and also healthy.' Theo Kirwan's top tips for summertime salads: 1. Use your larder: 'My larder is a shelf in my apartment — with all the different vinegars, soy sauces, oils, capers, and pickles that make it easy to create flavours. Buy a few staples, some nice quality olive oil and some pickled things.' 'My larder is a shelf in my apartment — with all the different vinegars, soy sauces, oils, capers, and pickles that make it easy to create flavours. Buy a few staples, some nice quality olive oil and some pickled things.' 2. Lean into fresh ingredients: 'Summer is the most exciting time to make salads using fresh ingredients like tomatoes, courgettes, herbs, and leaves. All the fun things! You don't even need to turn on the oven.' 'Summer is the most exciting time to make salads using fresh ingredients like tomatoes, courgettes, herbs, and leaves. All the fun things! You don't even need to turn on the oven.' 3. Season and contrast: 'If you want a great salad, it comes down to seasoning and how we merge little bits of contrast, whether it's something hot with something cold or a few little flakes of salt crystals on a tomato.' 'If you want a great salad, it comes down to seasoning and how we merge little bits of contrast, whether it's something hot with something cold or a few little flakes of salt crystals on a tomato.' 4. Dress it up: 'I think vinaigrettes should be full-flavoured. If you're making French dressing, just a little bit of garlic grated into a classic mustard vinaigrette makes all the difference. If you make a punchy dressing and combine that with fresh ingredients, then you're going to have something delicious.' Paprika Chica Our mum lived in Salamanca, western Spain, in her 20s and fell in love with the language, a Spanish man (who is not my dad) and, of course, the food. Growing up, we spent summer holidays in Spain, searching for little hole-in-the-wall amazing tapas bars where Mum encouraged us to try everything. Jack and I owe her a lot for establishing our love of food from an early age. She brought back a recipe for a dipping sauce, which in the '90s would have been the height of sophistication, served to us with crudités at family gatherings. We called it 'Mum's Spanish dip' and it's a great way to get kids eating lots of vegetables. In later years, we developed her recipe further and it became Sprout's 'Paprika Yoghurt', which has been a bestseller. Thanks, Mum! Recipe Serves 4 8 boneless chicken thighs 200g (7oz) brown basmati rice 5 tablespoons olive oil 2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped 5 bay leaves 400ml (14fl oz) water 2 tablespoons white wine 2 sweet potatoes 1 teaspoon chilli flakes 1 quantity French Dressing (see page 197) 1 quantity Paprika Yoghurt (see page 199) salt and freshly ground black pepper For the garlic & herb marinade 3 tablespoons olive oil 3 garlic cloves, very finely chopped 1 heaped tablespoon chopped fresh sage 1 heaped tablespoon oregano leaves 1 heaped tablespoon thyme leaves 1 heaped tablespoon chopped rosemary leaves To serve 4 large handfuls of spinach 5 spring onions, sliced into rounds 2 red chillies, sliced into rounds Method: 1. Start by marinating the chicken. To make the marinade, blitz the olive oil, garlic and herbs in a food processor, then season with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Add the marinade to the chicken thighs and rub it in with your hands, making sure the chicken is nicely coated. Cover and leave to marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, but ideally in the fridge for 24 hours. 2. When ready to cook, wash the rice until the water runs clear, then drain. Place the rice in a medium saucepan and add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the finely chopped garlic, bay leaves, a big pinch of salt and the water. Bring to the boil, then cover the pan with a tight fitting lid and immediately turn the heat down to its lowest setting and cook for 40 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed. Turn the heat off and fluff the rice up with a fork. Place the lid back on and leave to steam for 10 minutes. 3. Once the rice is underway, preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan, 425°F), Gas Mark 7. 4. Transfer the marinated chicken to a baking tray, ensuring each thigh has plenty of space to distribute the heat and achieve some colour. Add the white wine to the tray, then roast for 35–45 minutes until well browned and cooked through, but as these are thighs, you can afford to cook them for longer without them becoming dry. 5. Once the chicken is in the oven, cut the sweet potatoes into 2-cm (¾-inch) cubes. Place on a baking tray, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the chilli flakes and a generous pinch of salt, then toss with your hands until well coated. Add to the oven with the chicken and roast for 20–30 minutes until you have some crispy edges and the potatoes are tender. 6. When everything is cooked, remove the chicken from the oven, strip the meat from the bones and slice. Add the roasted chicken to a large mixing bowl together with the sweet potato, brown rice, spinach, sliced spring onions and red chilli. Pour over the dressing and gently toss. Divide into individual bowls and top with a dollop of the paprika yogurt. From Sprout & Co Saladology: Fresh Ideas for Delicious Salads (Mitchell Beazley).

Sprout Social (NASDAQ:SPT) Posts Better-Than-Expected Sales In Q1, Quarterly Revenue Guidance Slightly Exceeds Expectations

Social media management software company Sprout (NASDAQ:SPT) reported Q1 CY2025 results beating Wall Street's revenue expectations , with sales up 12.9% year on year to $109.3 million. Guidance for next quarter's revenue was better than expected at $110.8 million at the midpoint, 0.7% above analysts' estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.22 per share was 48.4% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Sprout Social? Find out in our full research report. Revenue: $109.3 million vs analyst estimates of $107.6 million (12.9% year-on-year growth, 1.6% beat) Adjusted EPS: $0.22 vs analyst estimates of $0.15 (48.4% beat) Adjusted Operating Income: $12.54 million vs analyst estimates of $9.02 million (11.5% margin, 39.1% beat) The company slightly lifted its revenue guidance for the full year to $451.4 million at the midpoint from $450.6 million Management raised its full-year Adjusted EPS guidance to $0.73 at the midpoint, a 5% increase Operating Margin: -10.2%, up from -13.7% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow Margin: 17.8%, up from 3% in the previous quarter Customers: 9,381 Market Capitalization: $1.20 billion 'Our team delivered strong results in the first quarter, highlighted by 13% revenue growth, a 21% increase in cRPO, and profitability expansion,' said Ryan Barretto, CEO of Sprout Social. Founded by Justyn Howard and Aaron Rankin in 2010, Sprout Social (NASDAQ:SPT) provides a software as a service platform that companies can use to schedule and respond to posts on major social media networks like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and LinkedIn. Examining a company's long-term performance can provide clues about its quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Over the last three years, Sprout Social grew its sales at a solid 27% compounded annual growth rate. Its growth beat the average software company and shows its offerings resonate with customers. This quarter, Sprout Social reported year-on-year revenue growth of 12.9%, and its $109.3 million of revenue exceeded Wall Street's estimates by 1.6%. Company management is currently guiding for a 11.5% year-on-year increase in sales next quarter. Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 10.2% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last three years. Still, this projection is above average for the sector and implies the market sees some success for its newer products and services. 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. This quarter, Sprout Social reported 9,381 enterprise customers paying more than $10,000 annually, an increase of 54 from the previous quarter. That's a bit fewer contract wins than last quarter and quite a bit below what we've observed over the previous year, suggesting its sales momentum with new enterprise customers is slowing. It also implies that Sprout Social will likely need to upsell its existing large customers or move down market to accelerate its top-line growth. We were impressed by Sprout Social's optimistic EPS guidance for next quarter, which blew past analysts' expectations. We were also glad its full-year EPS guidance trumped Wall Street's estimates. Overall, we think this was a decent quarter with some key metrics above expectations. The stock remained flat at $21.81 immediately after reporting. Sprout Social had an encouraging quarter, but one earnings result doesn't necessarily make the stock a buy. Let's see if this is a good investment. The latest quarter does matter, but not nearly as much as longer-term fundamentals and valuation, when deciding if the stock is a buy.
