This summary was created by AI, based on 11 opinions in the last 12 months.

Starbucks (SBUX) is currently experiencing a challenging yet transformative period under its new CEO. Recent improvements in customer service and a reported 4% increase in same-store sales indicate a potential turnaround for the company, although adaptation to changing market conditions, including high oil prices and international competition, pose ongoing risks. Analysts suggest that significant investment in locations with stronger performance is necessary while the company must also expand its footprint into Middle America. The company’s operational adjustments, including hiring more baristas and simplifying its menu, are viewed positively, yet turning around the brand will take time. Despite recent fluctuations in stock price, the long-term outlook remains cautiously optimistic, underpinned by initiatives aimed at stabilizing the U.S. business and improving market share.

SELL
(Market Call Minute) It’s too expensive.
BUY
Have restructured and taken a bunch of costs and rationalized the business. Prefers over Tim Horton's (THI-T).
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) You buy this one for restructuring. Costs came down more this quarter than expected and same-store comparables went down less than expected. Stock could probably move higher.
DON'T BUY
An early turnaround story. Aggressively cutting costs. Although they are ahead of schedule, there is limited upside and he would like to see the same store sales growth number turnaround.
DON'T BUY
Great company but unfortunately they may have hit the wall in their growth a couple of years ago. Premium product at a premium price and combined with the economic downturn put a huge crimp in their growth plans.
SELL
Was a traditional growth company trading at high multiples and then the wheels fell off. They are in a difficult position right now with a premium product where people are questioning how much they buy and what they pay.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) A company that has come down a long way but not quite there yet. Getting more attractive.
DON'T BUY
Was a great bull economy stock. When things turned down, people stopped paying the premium for their coffee. Over expanded.
DON'T BUY
Have expanded aggressively the last few years. There is a trend towards other products. Getting a lot of competition. Think they have some hard decisions to make.
SELL
Suffered a giant decline from $40. You would think the decline was over, but he sees some things on the fundamental side that concerns him. He would be a seller despite the large decline. Concerned there will be more downside.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) When a growth stock is broken, it can take a long time to get going again.
BUY
At these levels it's a good buy. Management has been changed. Looking to grow their stores at a slightly slower pace. Still have lots of potential for international expansion.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) It will be a while before it grows into its current valuation.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Valuation is still too high. They need to cut down their non-performance stores.
TOP PICK
Thinks really painful markets when combined by a stumble can create really attractive entry points. 1.5X sales and 20X earnings are multiples that he is comfortable with. Great growth prospects ahead of them. More international potential.
