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.

HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) A weak Hold. His model price is $20.12, a 4% positive differential. If they screw this one up, look for it back at $12.64.
BUY
Stock has come off quite hard and there is value now on a Price/Cash Flow basis. Generates a lot of free cash flow. Growing very rapidly.
DON'T BUY
This is in a long downtrend and you just don't argue with down trends.
DON'T BUY
Stock had a huge run over the long run and in more recent times, has started coming off. The growth they were showing was unsustainable and the valuation was very high. Going into a weaker economy, they are vulnerable to their cheaper competition.
DON'T BUY
Have been struggling. Going through a transition from just selling coffee to having a lot more products in their stores. Still trading at a pretty lofty multiple of a round 30X present earnings.
BUY
Has moved into selling food goods as well as coffee, which have lowered margins. Because of growth expectations, it had been one of the high P/E stocks. Good price.
BUY
Going through a transition where they are getting more food products and merchandise in their stores. This has lowered their margins a little bit. Still growing their stores pretty handsomely. Good price.
WAIT
A great franchise. Unfortunately, its valuation got way out of whack. Much better value and now and same store sales has improved. Would wait until it stops going down. Low to mid $20 would be a good entry point.
BUY
At these levels is very interesting. Lots of international growth available for them. Very good brand name.
DON'T BUY
The model price is $21.05 giving it a negative 22% differential. Expect the bottom will be around the $25 area. Consider buying at around $24.96.
SELL
The support level of approximately $29 was broken and has dropped to the $28 level. What is significant is that it is dropping past all support levels. Consider it as a weak sell.
DON'T BUY
Hitting a 52-week low and is starting to be better value, but would never consider this stock as a value one. Great franchise and good prospects but may be overextending themselves.
BUY
There is no uptick in the earnings estimates. Trading at a premium to it's multiple. No catalyst in the short run to make it run higher.
COMMENT
Has always been an expensive stock on a price to earnings multiple, because their growth rate has been so spectacular. Would never underestimate this company.
COMMENT
Showing a lot of support in the $29.30 area. The relative strength versus the overall markets on a weekly and daily basis is still quite weak. If it broke through the trend line you could enter a short-term trade and then trail yourself up as it moves higher, but wouldn't risk more than $1.
