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.

Expensive stock. Mid to high 20’s multiple. Is priced for a lot of expectation. Last time they didn’t execute the multiple dropped a lot.

One of the great things about them is the way they expand internationally. In non-American markets, they get the franchisees to do the slog of building the company out but retain the right to buy them out at 5-6 times cash flow, which is a very low price. Doesn't own because the barriers to entry in his industry are almost nonexistent.

Stores are packed. They are efficient. Service is crisp. The new K cups (?) are coming out, which is a joint partnership with Green Mountain coffee. Growing at about a 30% pace in foreign markets and a 20% pace in North America.

This stock is astounding. Continues to move up. Trading at around 26X earnings so may be getting a little bit rich. Long-term growth is high at 17 but 26X forward earnings makes it a bit tough for him.

Have done a great job of turning itself around. It's a high-end product. All of these consumer names have been on a real tear in the last couple of years and doesn't feel they are cheap. If you want a global franchise in this kind of industry, he would look at McDonalds (MCD-N) but it's expensive right now so wouldn't necessarily buy it today. You could also look at Yum! Brands (YUM-N).

Classic case of a great company in a market where there is very little growth but has growth itself. Multiple of 27X this year's earnings and 23X next year's is too high for him.

Consumer stocks are behaving relatively well. Went through a restructuring. Cut out unprofitable stores so margins are going up. Great branding and doing well in Asia and middle east. Now selling instant coffee and single serving coffee. Price of coffee coming down but thinks they wont cut their prices. Affordable luxury item. Have gone through consolidation and will move higher with the group.

This is an example of the kind of stock that he is willing to ride a lot longer and to much higher multiples if he believes management is outstanding. Executing extremely well on many fronts. Fully funding all their expansion and the institution of a dividend. If you feel there will be a market correction, you might want wait.

Suffered greatly when the US economy melted. People are starting to go back. Also the company has learned from this and adjusted their pricing. Has had a good run so not sure he would buy it here.

Really likes the restaurant sector. This one has been very successful in restructuring. Have been beating estimates substantially. Just announced they're going to start paying a dividend, which is a smart move.
