Opinion on  Starbucks Corp (SBUX)     Sector: Services  >  Industry: Restaurants
Trouble for Starbucks

Apr 30, 2008 10:38 PM UTC
Return Risk
-2.56% LOW
Jr. Analyst

Starbucks finds itself at a point where its aggressive expansion, premium pricing, and a sharp downturn in its consumers discretionary income have combined to really put a hurting on its bottom line.  Wednesdays financial release, which evidenced a rather significant miss on predicted quartely profit serves to underline the point.  Starbucks will be fine in the long run but for now, it is definitely a sell.
