Starbucks, a global coffeehouse giant, offers a variety of premium brews and snacks with over 38,000 stores in 80 countries. Despite strong early 2026 momentum, the stock struggles in the medium- and long-term, with shares up 2% in six months and 18% off its 52-week high.

In Q4 fiscal 2025, Starbucks reported net revenues of $9.6 billion, up 5% YoY, but missed analyst estimates due to restructuring costs and margin pressures. Operating income dropped sharply, while global comparable store sales rose 1%, driven by international growth.

Starbucks provided cautious guidance for fiscal 2026, targeting modest sales growth and mid-single-digit store expansions. Analysts expect Q1 2026 EPS to slip 17.39% but bounce back following that with a 4.88% growth. The company will also host a key investor day event on Jan. 29.

Analysts rate Starbucks a consensus “Moderate Buy” with a mean price target of $93.75, reflecting a slight downside of 2.5%. The stock has received 17 “Strong Buy” ratings, 2 “Moderate Buy” ratings, 10 “Hold” ratings, 2 “Moderate Buy” ratings, and 4 “Strong Sell” ratings.
