Starbucks Upgrade: Comps Recovering, Operating Income Expansion — Buy the Mid-Term Setup
Starbucks is showing signs of a durable turnaround: accelerating comps and margin leverage have driven earnings growth and cash flow stability. Valuation is not cheap, but improving fundamentals and a ~2.4% yield make a mid-term long trade attractive. Entry $103.53, stop $95.00, target $125.00 for a 45-trading-day trade plan.
