Is Starbucks's Stock a Buy Ahead of Its Q3 Earnings Report Tomorrow?

What we drew from this source

The claims Via News extracted from this document. We point to the source; we don't replace it.

• Starbucks is a mature business with a huge footprint that has little room to grow, and its stock is priced for hot growth with a forward P/E of almost 35 that profitability gains are unlikely to match; even a beat on Q3 earnings would not change this negative view

  60% confidence

• Full-year 2026 comparable sales guidance raised to at least 5% growth (from more than 3% previously), and adjusted EPS guidance raised to $2.25-$2.45 (from $2.15-$2.40 previously)

  60% confidence

• Starbucks attributed its solid second-quarter performance to the Back to Starbucks initiative

  60% confidence

• Analysts collectively expect Starbucks to post just over $9.1 billion in revenue and $0.65 per share in net income for fiscal Q3 2026 — nearly 4% below the prior-year revenue figure but a 30% improvement in EPS year over year

  60% confidence
