Better Buy: Starbucks vs. Shake Shack
Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) and Shake Shack (NYSE: SHAK) were both soaring before the COVID-19 pandemic, but that crisis naturally took a bite out of their earnings last quarter. Both the coffee giant and the better-burger chain feature small locations geared toward the higher end of the mass market. Starbucks, of course, has been around much longer and has many more stores. But size isn't everything when it comes to investing, so which of these would be the better stock to buy now? Fresh and new, or experienced and ubiquitous?
Starbucks is the undisputed leader in premium coffee. In most of the world, it doesn't really have any similar competitors in the coffee space, although it's often compared with McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts, both of which heavily promote their coffee beverages.
