Price (last ~year)
Starbucks shares fell 2.6% to $90.75 and are down 15.8% over three months, with the Financial Times reporting the company explored a takeover of Chipotle that management says would not distract from its "Back to Starbucks" turnaround. Fundamentals show the strain of that turnaround: revenue declined 1.4% year over year to $38.34B TTM and the latest quarter's revenue of $9.32B was below the prior three quarters, though earnings surged 85.7% and the company beat estimates in two of its last four reports, including $0.85 versus $0.66 expected in the June quarter. Leverage remains elevated at 4.0x debt/EBITDA on $22.43B of total debt with a current ratio of 0.76, while the stock trades at a 52.46 P/E against an analyst target of $111.33.
