SBUX Forecast After Meeting Earnings Expectations

4 May 2022

After touching our price target here:

Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) is in line with earnings expectations:

Revenue: $7.6 billion vs $7.62 billion expected
Adj. EPS: $0.59 vs $0.60 expected
U.S. same-store sales: 12.00% vs 8.90% expected
International same-store sales: -8.00% vs 1.87% expected

The China threat to SBUX is not over yet in my opinion, the U.S. and China stores represent 61% of the company’s global portfolio (2/3 stores in the U.S and 1/3 in China), and we could expect a retracement to the Covid lockdown area if we won`t see growth in the second half of the year.

Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
