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.

DON'T BUY
Has dropped quite a bit in the last year. If consumer spending is tightening up, there may be further weakness. Have big expansion plans, but they may be over marketing and ending up cannibalizing their other stores.
BUY
Stock has fallen and is trading at its lowest multiple. Although it trades at a slight premium in its sector, it has the highest ROE, better margins and better EPS growth. They have the ability to become international. They'll probably meet their earnings target and will grow.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
A great business because the way they have it set up. Penetration that they can get in cities is quite large, so expansion opportunities allow them to double their store base. Looking to expand internationally. Would prefer to buy in the low $30’s.
BUY
Trades at too high a multiple for him. Executing brilliantly. Same store sales continue to be strong.
SELL
Same store sales are down. With the economy, expect their expensive coffees to sell less.
DON'T BUY
It’s at 50 X earnings which is difficult to justify.
DON'T BUY
Looking at a long-term chart, the beginning of 2005 could be an Elliot third wave, which would indicate a consolidation. You are near the end of a move and it could be dangerous.
HOLD
Sales went up 10% and they split their stock 2 for 1. They seem to have a winning formula and it seems to be exportable to other countries. Wouldn't bet against them. Not buying any US stocks at the moment.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
A great company. The stock has been flat for a good long while. Coffee prices have been rising. Would buy on weakness.
DON'T BUY
A terrific company. Big believer in it, except it is not a great stock. Has a good product, good concept and good management. A bad stock because it is trading at 50 X earnings.
TOP PICK
Both a growth and international story. Market is growing.
DON'T BUY
Has outperformed the general market. Take some money off the table if you own. You can only open so many stores and create so many items before your revenues start to slow. Raising their prices 4/5% in the US.
DON'T BUY
Was surprised at how strong this company has been. The trend has had an amazing staying power. Valuation is too high for them.
DON'T BUY
Priced quite high at this point. A great innovator. Expects their successful international growth story will continue.
DON'T BUY
Has had a great trend. Cyclical. Running into some technical blocks. Would like it below $20.
