Recap: Starbucks

Magic Markets2023-09-21T08:56:20+02:00

We’ve covered Starbucks before, the world’s most famous coffee shop chain despite strong focus on the US and China and a lesser footprint outside of those countries. Succession planning has been the Achilles' Heel of this story, with Howard Schultz having returned to the top job for the third time when we covered the stock back in March 2022. The stock was trading at $88 and we were pretty bearish. Now at nearly $97, that’s roughly a 10% return in 18 months. While it may be a timing issue, that’s actually beaten the S&P 500 index over that time period. What happened that beat our expectations? Welcome to Magic Markets Premium.
