Global coffee giant Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) is finding itself in unfamiliar territory.
Starbucks (SBUX) has received quite a bit of attention from Zacks.com users lately. Therefore, it is wise to be aware of the facts that can impact the stock's prospects.
Look at ETFs with exposure to Starbucks, as the coffee house reports Q2 fiscal 2025 results.
Returns for Starbucks (SBUX 3.19%) stock are completely flat over the last five years, as of this writing, but some investors believe better days are ahead. In one example, asset manager Polen Capital bought a stake in Starbucks during the first quarter of 2025, with management saying that it believed in the turnaround plan from new CEO Brian Niccol.
Starbucks (SBUX 3.19%) is in the midst of a major turnaround. As part of CEO Brian Niccol's "Back to Starbucks" plan, the leading coffeehouse chain is trying to win back customers and get on stronger financial footing.
News of some progress in turning around its lagging same-store sales was not enough to keep share prices of Starbucks (SBUX 3.19%) from dropping, partly because its fiscal second-quarter earnings fell well short of expectations. The stock now trades below the initial surge it experienced following the announcement that former Chipotle head Brian Niccol would assume the position of CEO.
Starbucks is planning to use zero-based budgeting starting during its next fiscal year. The coffee chain is trying to cut expenses to pay for its turnaround efforts.
Starbucks' NASDAQ: SBUX stock price did not respond favorably to the Q2 results and outlook despite Brian Niccol's impact on the company. Surely, the weakness in results, specifically earnings, is a concern, but it is tied entirely to investment in the turnaround.
