Starbucks Corporation · SBUX · NASDAQ · Consumer Cyclical · Restaurants
Research dated 2026-09-12: Starbucks is a global specialty-coffee operator whose stores, licensed locations and consumer channels sell beverages, food and branded coffee products. Beverage purchases dominate the disclosed product mix, making store-level demand and drink profitability more consequential than the restaurant label alone suggests. Can the recent rebound in profit and cash generation endure while debt remains far larger than liquid resources?

What is Starbucks (SBUX), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
Starbucks roasts, markets and sells specialty coffee through company-operated stores, licensed locations, grocery retailers and foodservice accounts.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Starbucks roasts, markets and sells specialty coffee through company-operated stores, licensed locations, grocery retailers and foodservice accounts. Stores sell coffee and tea beverages alongside beans, single-serve products, ready-to-drink offerings and food, while the licensed network extends the same trademarks beyond locations operated directly by Starbucks.
What do the latest results show for Starbucks (SBUX)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q3 FY2026, carried revenue of $9.32B.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Revenue eased from the immediately preceding period, yet operating result, net result and diluted earnings rose sharply. Revenue and earnings also cleared market expectations after a run in which sales results were more resilient than earnings results.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

What are the financial strengths and risks for Starbucks (SBUX)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $3.61B at the Jun 28, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $1.64B for the quarter ended Jun 28, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Annual revenue advanced while annual net income fell sharply, showing that sales growth alone has not protected profitability. Quarterly operating cash flow has remained positive but uneven, with capital spending absorbing a meaningful share in weaker periods before cash conversion strengthened in the latest period.
Data-derived red flags
- Negative return on equity (-24.3%) — the business is not currently generating profit on shareholder capital.
- Inconsistent delivery — missed Wall Street EPS estimates in 5 of the last 8 reported quarters.
- Rich valuation — a P/E of 54.64 runs well above the Consumer Cyclical sector’s ~32.50x, leaving little room for a miss.
How much cash does the business generate or use?
Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.
- Latest quarter · operating cash flow
- $1.64B Jun 28, 2026
- Previous quarter · operating cash flow
- $364.50M Mar 29, 2026
| Period end | Operating cash flow | Capital expenditure (reported) |
|---|---|---|
| Jun 28, 2026 | $1.64B | −$291.40M |
| Mar 29, 2026 | $364.50M | −$272.70M |
| Dec 28, 2025 | $1.60B | −$323.70M |
| Sep 28, 2025 | $1.38B | −$456.00M |
Operating cash-flow bars share one scale and show magnitude; negative values mean cash used.
USD. Negative operating cash flow means cash used. Capital expenditure keeps the provider’s reported sign; it is not added here to estimate free cash flow or runway.
What should you watch next at Starbucks (SBUX)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Oct 28, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
At the scheduled earnings release, compare revenue and earnings with expectations, then examine whether operating profit and net income retain their recent gains. Management has raised guidance, expects the forces supporting margin expansion to continue and says coffee-price pressure should keep easing, so renewed margin compression would directly challenge that outlook.
What management is planning
Management expectations, not completed milestones or guarantees. Selected verbatim excerpts; dates follow the transcript provider.
As a result, we are raising our guidance for fiscal year 2026.
Catherine Smith ·
We expect the same fundamental drivers that supported margin expansion in Q3 to continue in Q4.
Catherine Smith ·
In coffee, we expect coffee price pressures to continue easing in Q4 and become largely immaterial to the year-over-year margin comparisons.

How does Starbucks compare with its peers?
Short answer
Starbucks's score ranks 13th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Starbucks is neither merely a restaurant chain nor merely a packaged-coffee brand. Company-operated and licensed stores connect beverages and food in the same retail format, while grocery and foodservice licensing carry its trademarks into channels that conventional restaurant peers may not share; beverages remain the largest disclosed product revenue pool.

SBUX Consumer Cyclical Stock FAQ
Research dated 2026-09-12; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 3 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
Why do Starbucks beverage sales matter more than its food sales?
Beverages form the largest disclosed product revenue pool, while food broadens the store menu around the same customer visit. A change in drink demand therefore reaches the core of reported product sales more directly than a comparable change in food demand.
How do licensed Starbucks stores change the business model?
Starbucks licenses its trademarks to independently operated stores and also reaches grocery retailers and foodservice accounts. That structure extends branded product distribution beyond stores run directly by the company.
Is easing coffee cost pressure repairing Starbucks margins?
Management says coffee-price pressure is easing and expects it to become largely immaterial to upcoming year-over-year margin comparisons. Recent operating profit and net income improved, but sustained margin progress is still needed to confirm that the benefit persists.
Can Starbucks fund store investment while carrying its debt load?
Operating cash flow has remained positive and recently covered capital spending comfortably, but debt stands far above cash and investments. Store investment therefore depends more on continued cash generation than on liquid resources already held.

The 81 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
