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

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Starbucks reported third-quarter fiscal 2017 results, wherein it met analysts’ expectations on earnings but failed to meet the same on revenues amid persistent decline in U.S. restaurant sales. However, its top and bottom lines grew 8.1% and 12.2%, respectively, year over year. Its global comps grew 4%, comprising 4% increase in average ticket with no growth in traffic. While Americas comps increased 5%, softer trends in April and July due to broader industry dynamics prompted Starbucks to have a more cautious view for the next quarter. Slower sales trend along with higher investments in digital and Siren Retail (Roastery and Reserve locations) have led to lowered earnings projections for the fourth quarter as well as for the full year. With comps in the last four quarters being in the +3-5% range, we believe the company’s ability to deliver its long-term targets remain questionable." (7/31/2017)
• 2. 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)
