Starbucks (SBUX) is currently navigating a complex landscape marked by mixed performance indicators and an ongoing turnaround under its new CEO. Recent reports suggest a positive shift, with a 4% increase in same-store sales, attributed to improved customer service and reduced employee turnover. However, experts express caution due to challenges such as international competition, high oil prices impacting consumer spending, and the necessity of addressing underperforming stores. Analysts are divided on the stock's value, with some viewing it as overbought while others see potential for long-term growth, particularly if the company can effectively implement its strategic plans and resolve ongoing labor disputes. Despite the hurdles, there is optimism regarding the brand's market position and potential recovery path.

WATCH
They report Tuesday. Hopes the CEO addresses the unionizing effort and the impact of Omicron on store hours and shifts. Has the Chinese pre-Olympic lockdown impacting SBUX? That's why shares are down 17% YTD.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 29/21, Up 9%) Great holding. Still grew despite Covid. China growth has slowed. Still a growth story long term. A bit expensive now, wait a bit for a new purchase.
HOLD
Company has got caught up with union battles. Unionization will affect profitability. Good aspects of company includes exposure to China. Higher trading multiple implies over valued. Closing a lot of locations.
HOLD

He's holding on. Saw two analyst upgrades today. The company faces a slowdown in China's economic growth, but he expects encouraging guidance to come.

BUY

He likes the two upgrades today. This reminds him of Nike four years ago which he missed out on. Starbucks' 2022 PE is 29x. Investor sentiment remains quite good. As long as Starbucks doesn't stumble in execution, their PE will rise. Their customer experience is amazing.

PARTIAL SELL
Very well run. Pretty expensive at 46x. Medium conviction on its prospects, so maximum of 5% weighting. Overvalued. Long-term, will continue to do well.
BUY
At $115, this is a buy right now.
BUY
Regrets selling it after taking good profits. It's up 63% this year. They managed the lockdowns well with their app and quick in-and-out service. Many were concerned when the company changed CEOs, but it was a great move.
BUY
Didn't deserve to sink 3.2% today after its quarterly report released late Tuesday. He blames trigger-happy traders. This is a buying opportunity.
DON'T BUY
It reports Tuesday. Starbucks had a great run the past year in anticipation of the great reopening, which may be too early. He expects a pullback.
BUY
The pandemic has closed the smaller players and SBUX's e-commerce has thrived. This should do well during the reopening.
TOP PICK
A quality stock that is poised to benefit from the reopening. Same store sales were up 5% in China. They are overcoming fewer transactions with offsetting bigger baskets. 2021 outlook was raised. 48% EPS growth trading at 25x 2023 valuation. Pays a reasonable dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $108.84)
WAIT
It's had a tremendous run. Wait until after they report next week. It would dip below $100.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 30/20, Up 20%) Revenue has responded well to pandemic. Digital initiatives acting very well. Pay a premium at 36x forward earnings for 15% growth. Strong, iconic name. Cautious on buying going forward, based on valuation.
