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

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Starbucks’s operating fundamentals such as solid global retail footprint, successful innovations, best-in-class loyalty program and digital offerings remain strong. Again, digital initiatives like mobile order/pay, delivery services and third-party loyalty partnerships can stimulate stronger sales trends in the Americas. CPG growth across the world as well as China/Asia expansion will also enhance value creation. These initiatives might benefit the company in the long run. However, the consequential increment in spending is likely to create pressure on its bottom line in the near term. Also, economic, geopolitical and consumer headwinds continue to impact Starbucks' results. Meanwhile, the company’s shares have underperformed the Zacks categorized Retail-Food & Restaurants industry so far this year." (7/20/2017)

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)
