Coming into today, shares of the coffee chain had gained 1.59% in the past month. In that same time, the Retail-Wholesale sector lost 8.35%, while the S&P 500 lost 9.22%.
Investors will be hoping for strength from Starbucks as it approaches its next earnings release. On that day, Starbucks is projected to report earnings of $0.75 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 25%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $8.43 billion, up 3.47% from the year-ago period.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for Starbucks. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
