Guggenheim lifts Starbucks price target to $95, cuts EPS forecasts for FY26-28

Guggenheim has maintained a Neutral rating on Starbucks Corporation whilst raising its price target from $90 to $95. The firm lowered its fiscal 2026, 2027 and 2028 earnings per share projections by $0.05 each, but increased its fiscal Q2 US same-store sales growth outlook to 4.8%. Starbucks reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 results showing global comparable store sales increased 4%, driven by a 3% rise in transactions and 1% increase in average ticket. The company added 128 net new stores, bringing its total to 41,118 locations. Consolidated net revenue rose 6% to $9.9 billion, though GAAP operating margin fell to 9.0% due to labour costs and inflation. For fiscal 2026, Starbucks anticipates 600–650 new sites globally and non-GAAP earnings per share of $2.15–$2.40.

Dutch Bros outpaces Starbucks with 12 straight quarters of same-store sales growth

Dutch Bros, a $9 billion coffee chain with 1,081 locations, is outperforming Starbucks in several key areas. The company generates 75% of revenue after 10am, compared to industry leaders' 50%, allowing better staffing and customer flow management whilst targeting different demographics. Dutch Bros has posted 12 consecutive quarters of same-store sales growth, contrasting with Starbucks' recent six-quarter decline streak. The company targets $1.8 million in average annual unit volumes and is expanding its food programme to capture morning trade. With only 1,081 stores versus Starbucks' 41,000, Dutch Bros has significant expansion potential. Management believes there's room for 7,000 US locations, particularly in eastern and northern regions, positioning the company for substantial revenue growth over the next decade.

US chain restaurants close hundreds of locations as rising costs squeeze profits

Chain restaurants across America are closing at an alarming rate, with major brands like Starbucks, Wendy's, Denny's and Red Robin shuttering hundreds of locations. Starbucks closed over 450 sites last October, whilst Wendy's plans to shutter up to 350 restaurants in 2026. Denny's announced 150 closures before year-end 2025. According to Bank of America Securities analyst Sara Senatore, rising food costs, particularly for beef, are squeezing profit margins. Coupled with higher labour costs and interest rates, chains have raised prices, driving consumers to cook at home instead. Jim Sanderson of Northcoast Research notes that declining demand has forced restaurants to offer discounts, further eroding profits. Several chains, including Hooters and TGI Fridays, have filed for bankruptcy whilst attempting comebacks.

Starbucks sells China stake for $4B

Starbucks will sell up to a 60% stake in its China operations to Boyu Capital in a $4 billion deal, forming a joint venture where Starbucks retains 40%. The sale, combined with retained stake and licensing, is expected to generate over $13 billion in the next decade. Starbucks' market share in China fell from 34% in 2019 to 14% last year due to local competition and economic slowdown. The deal follows strategic partnership explorations to boost growth in China.
