Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Starbucks Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Starbucks’ shares have underperformed the industry year-to-date. The company has been experiencing tepid comps growth in the United States for quite a while now amid persistent decline in the country’s restaurant sales. Starbucks reported tepid 3% comps growth in the first nine months of fiscal 2017 against 6% in the year-ago period. The U.S. restaurant space has not been too enticing for investors for the last few quarters. Despite economic growth, consumers increased their spending only modestly on dining out, which resulted in low consumption over the last few quarters. That said, Starbucks is strengthening its portfolio with major innovations, best-in-class loyalty program and digital offerings to counter tepid sales growth. Although these initiatives might benefit it in the long run, the consequential increment in spending is likely to create pressure on its earnings in the near term." (10/18/2017)
• 2. BMO Capital Markets analysts commented, "We are lowering our rating on CarMax to Perform from Outperform. For some time, we have highlighted KMX as one of the most innovative omni-channel business models in the Hardlines sector. Our upbeat, longer term outlook for KMX is unchanged. That said, in the near term, shares of KMX have tended to swoon on even modest changes in underlying fundamentals. As we study carefully the back half of FY17 (Feb. 2018), we are increasingly concerned that despite significant internal and external tailwinds, more challenged used car unit comp comparisons could disrupt recent top- line momentum at KMX and spur a re-setting lower of current Street forecasts."

• 3. Wedbush analysts commented, "Expect Americas comp momentum, accelerating CAP unit growth, a successful EMEA turnaround, and multiple CPG and emerging market opportunities to drive consistent mid-to-high teens annual EPS growth. ' Checks indicate 3% U.S. comp growth in FQ2. Our recent checks of 5% of U.S. company-owned locations point to 3% Americas comp growth in FQ2. Though below 3.6% cons., we believe 3% is largely in-line with buy-side expectations. We continue to model 3% in FQ2, 5% in FQ3 and 6% in FQ4." (3/13/2017)
