Prior to today's trading, shares of the coffee chain had gained 8.5% over the past month. This has lagged the Retail-Wholesale sector's gain of 8.83% and outpaced the S&P 500's gain of 4.58% in that time.

Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $8.8 billion, up 9.31% from the year-ago period.
SBUX's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $3.42 per share and revenue of $36.03 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +15.54% and +11.71%, respectively.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for Starbucks. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
