CAPS Rating:

Purchases and roasts high-quality whole bean coffees and sells them, along with fresh, rich-brewed coffees, Italian-style espresso beverages, cold blended beverages, coffee-related accessories and equipment primarily through its operated retail stores.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Starbucks is a powerful brand, one of the most powerful around the globe. I spend about six months of the year overseas in India, SE Asia and Europe for my job; everyone knows Starbucks even if it isn't in their country yet. When I visit a store in Hamburg, Geneva, Moscow or Paris it is packed. The ...More

They're closing 600 stores and they're laying off over 1,000 employees. For a company with a poor current ratio this is just a start. They need more changes to improve their shrinking operating margins and pay off the $1.25 billion dollars in revolving debt that is becomi...More

In all honesty, $4 fancy coffee drinks can't possibly fare well in this marketplace, and I expect Starbucks to continue to slide for a while. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

It's really not such a bad company, but it's certainly not worth as much as they think it is. Report this Post Replies: 1 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

SBUX Score Leader

Rating: 99.55
SBUX Score: 76.10

it's a sad day when you become score leader picking underperform on a TMF pick. There's a lesson here, I think, in that TMF has missed the 18 month (and counting) slide.
