Description: SBUX Starbucks

Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) is a global coffee roaster, marketer, and retailer that sells beverages, packaged coffee, and food across three operating segments: North America, International, and Channel Development. The company’s store network includes company-owned and licensed locations, and it also distributes products through grocery, food-service, and licensed-store partners.

The brand portfolio comprises Starbucks Coffee, Teavana, Seattle’s Best Coffee, Ethos, and Starbucks Reserve, covering everything from premium whole-bean coffee to ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages. Licensing of the Starbucks trademark generates additional revenue streams, while the partnership with the Global Food Banking Network reflects a commitment to food-security and waste-reduction initiatives.

Assuming FY2023 results and Q2 2024 guidance are representative, key performance indicators show: • FY2023 net revenue of $32.4 bn, up ~8% YoY; • Comparable store sales growth of 6.6% globally, driven by a 9% increase in the North America segment; • A total of ~35,800 stores worldwide, with a 3% annual expansion rate; • Operating margin of ~13.5%, pressured by rising labor costs and commodity price volatility (especially Arabica coffee). Primary economic drivers include discretionary consumer spending trends, inflation-adjusted pricing power, and the cost dynamics of coffee beans and wages-factors that historically explain ~70% of Starbucks’ earnings variability.

If you want a data-rich, forward-looking view of how these drivers may affect SBUX’s valuation, a look at ValueRay’s analyst models could provide the quantitative depth needed for a more informed decision.
