Starbucks Still Needs More Time
Here's our initial take on ' (NASDAQ: SBUX) fiscal third-quarter financial report.
Expectations have been high that Starbucks will eventually be able to recover from an extended period of weakness and return to its former glory. Yet although those hopes are still there, shareholders will have to stay patient in order to see a true recovery in key business metrics.
Starbucks' fiscal third-quarter financial report showed mixed results. Revenue climbed 4% globally, including a 2% rise in North America and a 9% boost in the coffee company's international segment. However, comparable sales were down 2% globally, with a 2% drop in North America offsetting flat comps internationally. Earnings were down by nearly half, as the company cited inflation, labor costs, and the expenses associated with the Back to Starbucks initiative.
