SBUX is attempting to go global during a very difficult period in time. Some of the highest income earners in China are coal workers, and I for some odd reason don't see coal workers buying a grande quintuple-shot non-fat vanilla latte macchiato with room for soy milk on their way to the coal mine. While SBUX squanders cash to expand their business marketing to coal miners in China, profits are contracting in America as debt-laden Americans ratchet down to Folgers crystals. The best part of wakin' up is Folgers in your cup. .

SBUX is in a tough economic environment now. The costs are going up while consumers are tighting their budget. Sure, people are still drinking coffee, but they probably will cut down a little or switch to lower premium drinks. This condition will not be improved for a while. In other words, the stock will be a heading down.

With the upswing in inflation and the massive job losses that we are seeing, Starbucks is going to pay the price. I've decided that I'm going to short them for the long run. Just go to your local Starbucks and notice how few people are dropping in. <> Also, the upper management at Starbucks don't have a clue. When they first came on the scene they were cool. No people go because they remember when it was good. With the rise of inflation, the incompetent management, and the general pullback on cash in the pocket of consumers Starbucks is going to take a big dump in its value. Ju...

Starbucks has developed too many stores in the recent years. They have recently scaled back and shut down many stores. With the inflation we will be experiencing and the loss of jobs, Starbucks patrons will not be driviing to get coffee as much and this is going to hurt them in a big way.

 "I’ve spotted an excellent opportunity to cash in on the turnaround of one of America’s most visible companies -- Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX)," says Jim Stanton.
The quantitative analyst and contributing editor to Xcelerated Profits Report explains, "I’ve had my eye on a number of retail stocks for some time now, looking for signs of a potential turnaround, and Starbucks is now high on my lis." "One of the main reasons for the slide in SBUX shares from its high of $40 in November 2006 was the overly aggressive expansion plan. <>"And as food and dairy prices have soared, this h...

 Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX) is probably not the first company that comes to mind when thinking of a value play. As discussed here, small-caps usually offer the best opportunities when it comes to finding stocks trading at discounts to their intrinsic values. With a market cap north of $11B and a large analyst following, one could argue that for Starbucks there is little room for market inefficiency. However, the recent challenges facing Starbucks in today’s weakened economy have likely caused its share price to be unjustifiably over-punished by the markets.

Great company but facing challenges from economy, changing consumer sentiment, increased competition, and the fading of the novelty of Starbucks. They will most certainly prevail, but clearly there is some serious short term downside before a recovery begins. Steer clear until there are signs of a new value proposition or clear indication of a turnaround. The days of long lines for $5 cups of mediocre coffee loaded with flavored syrup are long behind us.

<> SBUX has experienced significant correction and is establishing a bottom in the $15 area. Company is taking significant steps to reduce expenses, "cut the fat" and excess overhead, close non-producing locations, reduce administrative staff, etc. Although one should not expect the rapid growth the company experienced the last few years, there should be significant increase in earnings from both the "belt-tightening" and from new products and services that are being introduced. Company also stands to profit from the burst of the oil speculation bubble and the resulting drop in fuel price...

Starbucks is Too Expensive

Starbucks (SBUX)
is too expensive and not just the coffee but the stock itself. The stock
reached a new 52 week low today as the market sold off during the morning and
has rebounded some. But the price to earnings of the stock is still too
expensive for the limited revenue growth and the declining earnings the company
is now experiencing.

Last Christmas, when I first noticed the $1,000.00 coffee machines stacked at the end of the bar, I got to wondering exactly who does this company expect to do business with?
This year, when they closed down for three hours to retrain the counter staff, my confidence was not restored.
Likewise, when the Saudis beat up that American business woman and threw her in jail for sitting in the Men Only section of one of the company's locations in the Magic Kingdom.
Now people are complaining that the coffee experience is too standardized. Trouble is, standardization <>...

About Starbucks Corp

For millions of Americans, and indeed for millions around the globe, there's nothing like a piping hot cup of coffee to help kick start the day. It's the beverage of choice for the hordes on Wall Street, many of whom rely on a strong cup of java to help propel them through a stressful trading day.
