This summary was created by AI, based on 10 opinions in the last 12 months.

Starbucks (SBUX) is currently experiencing a mix of optimism and caution among analysts as it navigates a challenging environment. The new CEO's strategies, such as improving customer service and reducing employee turnover, have resulted in a notable increase in same-store sales, suggesting a turnaround is underway. However, concerns persist regarding the company's ability to close underperforming stores and effectively penetrate middle America. The stock's price movement has been erratic, with analysts noting that it could be overbought at this stage. Furthermore, ongoing labor strikes and international competition present additional headwinds. Overall, while there's potential for growth, analysts remain wary of external pressures and the effectiveness of recent changes.

Aug 09, 2012

For the 1st time in a couple of years, it has broken below the 200 day moving average which is not a good sign technically. Having issues with their European locations and started to shut down some of them. Long-term it is a good growth company but may be priced a little bit too high at 25X forward earnings.

This is a very competitive space right now. The question is, how many Starbucks can you have before you have more Starbucks then you need. Competition is growing among coffee chains.

Earnings were okay, but guidance they gave going forward was not okay. The problem here is that they are everywhere and once they are everywhere, to generate more sales, you have to get more in-store sales. The law of diminishing returns. Very economically sensitive.

Jul 25, 2012
Great company. Very well-managed. Has come back a little but is still quite expensive. Trading at 27X forward earnings but it is living up to it. The issue with growth stocks is that if they disappoint, they get taken out behind the woodshed.

Great company. Really turned things around from some of the problems they encountered back in 2008. To rich a multiple for him. Trades somewhere in the 30+ multiple. He would like to see it in the low $20's.

(A Top Pick June 28/11. Up 35.16%.) Hit a high of just over $60 and he got stopped out in May. A great long term hold and there will probably be a re-entry point later in the year.

She is more of a value investor and the multiple on this stock is too high for her at 28X forward earnings. About 77% of revenues are from North American company. Have a bit in Europe but not making money there right now. China and Asia has a growing presence. Sensitive to coffee bean prices. She would prefer 10% lower.

Likes this one and has been watching it. Long-term you have definite secular growth. The PE makes him a bit shy about purchasing it. Would prefer it in me mid to early $50s.

His problem with this stock is that it is always so expensive. Trading now at about 27-28 times earnings. If they slipped a little, there is a lot of air under 27X earnings.

A momentum stock and he is not a momentum trader. He’d rather wait for a pullback before dipping his toes in this. You are getting into earnings increases and expectations are getting lofty. Stock is getting to the level where if you own it, you should take half of every time the stock doubles.

A tremendous success story. They offer the middle-class people a tremendous cup of coffee without breaking the bank. This company will do fine for that reason. Presumes this will be around for a very long time.

Great coffee and a great company but not a great stock price at these levels. Little too expensive. Growing gangbusters. Opening new outlets again. Refining their menu. Trading at 26X this year's earnings and 22X next year's earnings. 10% lower might be all right.

Have had a fabulous recovery from the lows of 2008. His trouble is valuation. Hard to pay 24X earnings would be buying at 15 times. Have an unbelievable exposure to China and the growth there is going to be strong. (Would prefer Tim Hortons (THI-T), which is cheaper.)
