Starbucks Develops AI Software to Reduce Reliance on Microsoft and IBM, Report Says (SBUX)July 9, 2026 10:14 AM
IH Market News Starbucks Expands Internal AI Development Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:SBUX) is reportedly developing artificial intelligence-powered software that could replace several enterprise applications currently supplied by Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) and International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM), according to a Bloomberg report citing an internal company presentation. Among the projects under development are replacements for Microsoft’s inventory management software and IBM’s maintenance management platform. According to the report, some of the internally built applications could be ready for deployment by the end of next year, subject to successful testing. Cost-Cutting Strategy Drives Technology Shift The initiative forms part of Starbucks’ broader effort to streamline operations and reduce expenses. Chief Technology Officer Anand Varadarajan previously told employees that the company spends roughly $400 million each year on software and sees significant opportunities to lower those costs. “There’s clear opportunities to reduce the spend in software,” Varadarajan said. Internal documents reviewed by Bloomberg indicate Starbucks is evaluating “every contract and service” across its technology operations as it works toward a wider target of cutting $2 billion in costs. Artificial Intelligence Plays Central Role Artificial intelligence-assisted software development has reportedly been instrumental in building the new platform designed to replace IBM’s maintenance management system. The company has also encouraged employees within its technology division to make greater use of AI tools, with AI adoption reportedly becoming one of the factors considered in employee bonus evaluations. Bloomberg also reported that Starbucks has spent several years developing its own point-of-sale platform to replace Oracle Simphony. Budget Savings and Workforce Changes The company’s enterprise technology division is expected to reduce its annual budget by approximately $30 million during the fiscal year ending in late September. That includes an estimated $10 million reduction in software spending, along with roughly $13 million in savings through lower reliance on external contractors and professional services firms. Starbucks is also expanding its technology footprint by establishing offices in Nashville and India, while continuing to maintain its headquarters in Seattle. Since February of last year, the company has eliminated around 2,300 positions, including a significant number of technology-related roles.

Starbucks Evaluates Sale and IPO Options for Japanese Operations (SBUX)June 10, 2026 5:51 AM
IH Market News Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) is reportedly reviewing strategic alternatives for its business in Japan, including a possible partial divestment or public listing, according to a Bloomberg News report citing people familiar with the matter. The coffee chain has held early-stage discussions with investment banks as it assesses options for its Japanese subsidiary, one of the company’s most significant international operations. According to the report, a transaction involving the sale of a stake in the business could value the Japanese unit at between ¥400 billion and ¥500 billion, equivalent to approximately $2.5 billion to $3.1 billion. Potential interest could come from both strategic industry buyers and private equity investors. Strategic Review Still in Early Stages Sources cited by Bloomberg indicated that no formal decision has been made and that discussions remain preliminary. Starbucks is evaluating a range of possibilities, including maintaining ownership, selling a minority stake, or pursuing an initial public offering of the business. The company has not publicly commented on any specific transaction plans. Japan remains one of Starbucks’ largest overseas markets, with around 2,100 stores across the country. The majority of these locations are directly operated, giving the company significant exposure to consumer demand and operational performance in the market. Part of a Broader Asian Portfolio Strategy The reported review comes as Starbucks continues to reshape its presence across Asia through a more flexible ownership structure. Earlier this year, the company completed the sale of a 60% stake in its China retail operations to Boyu Capital. Starbucks described that transaction as an important step in supporting long-term expansion and unlocking future growth opportunities in one of its most important international markets. A similar move in Japan could provide additional capital flexibility while allowing Starbucks to retain exposure to a mature and strategically important business. More about Starbucks Starbucks Corporation is one of the world’s largest coffeehouse operators, with thousands of stores across North America, Asia, Europe and other international markets. The company offers coffee beverages, tea, food products and consumer packaged goods, while increasingly focusing on digital engagement, loyalty programmes and international expansion to support long-term growth.

The Total Consideration for each series of Notes does not include the applicable Accrued Interest (as defined below), which will be payable in addition to the applicable Total Consideration. (2) Rounded to the nearest hundredth of one percent. The early tender date for the Tender Offers was 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 15, 2026 (the “Early Tender Date”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Starbucks will accept for purchase up to the Aggregate Cap, the Maximum Amounts and the Tender Sub Cap Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date as shown in the table above. Starbucks has elected to exercise its right to have an early settlement. The date for payment in respect of such Notes will be May 20, 2026 (the “Early Settlement Date”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Holders whose Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration, as set forth in the table above, for each $1,000 principal amount of such Notes in cash on the Early Settlement Date. In addition to the Total Consideration, all Holders of Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Notes validly tendered, not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (“Accrued Interest”), payable on the Early Settlement Date. Because the aggregate purchase price of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date exceeds the Aggregate Cap and Maximum Amounts and the aggregate principal amount of 2048 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Date exceeds the Tender Sub Cap, the Notes will be accepted for purchase subject to the Acceptance Priority Levels and proration factors set forth in the table above and, in each case, as described in the Offer to Purchase. The Company will accept for purchase the aggregate principal amount of each series of the Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date as set forth in the table above. The Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date and are accepted for purchase will be cancelled by the Company on the Early Settlement Date and will no longer remain outstanding obligations of the Company. The Notes not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the account of the registered holder of such Notes with The Depository Trust Company and otherwise returned in accordance with the Offer to Purchase. Although the Tender Offers are scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 2, 2026 (the “Expiration Date”), because the Tender Offers were filled by the Early Tender Date, Starbucks does not expect to accept for purchase any Notes that are tendered after the Early Tender Date and before the Expiration Date. The withdrawal rights for the Tender Offers expired at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 15, 2026 and have not been extended; therefore, previously tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by the Company). The Tender Offers are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to (i) waive any and all conditions to any of the Tender Offers, (ii) extend or terminate any of the Tender Offers, (iii) increase or decrease the Aggregate Cap, (iv) increase or decrease either of the Maximum Amounts, (v) increase or decrease the Tender Sub Cap or (vi) otherwise amend any of the Tender Offers in any respect. The Company may take any action described in clauses (i) through (vi) above with respect to one or more Tender Offers without having to do so for all Tender Offers. Holders should refer to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and conditions for the Tender Offers. The Company has retained (i) Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as Lead Dealer Managers, (ii) BofA Securities, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC as Co-Dealer Managers and (iii) D.F. King & Co., Inc. as the Tender and Information Agent, in each case, in connection with the Tender Offers.

Starbucks Gains After Upgrading Outlook as Turnaround Momentum BuildsApril 29, 2026 5:55 AM
IH Market News
Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) lifted its full-year 2026 guidance on Tuesday, raising expectations for both comparable-store sales growth and adjusted earnings per share, as CEO Brian Niccol continues to push forward a turnaround strategy that is attracting more customers back to stores.The company now expects comparable store sales to grow by at least 5.0% in fiscal 2026, both globally and within the U.S. It also projected adjusted earnings per share in a range of $2.25 to $2.45.Shares rose more than 5% in premarket trading on Wednesday following the update.Starbucks reported a 6.2% increase in global same-store sales for the second quarter, supported by a 3.8% rise in comparable transactions and a 2.3% increase in average ticket size.Reacting to the results, Jeffrey Bernstein noted the “U.S. comp beat, while Int’l met consensus, which coupled with operating margin upside, drove an EPS beat. And comp momentum continues in April.”Niccol’s strategy has centered on improving in-store operations, including simplifying the menu and shortening wait times—moves that have helped bring customers back in the company’s core U.S. market. Starbucks has also rolled out its “Back to Starbucks” initiative, which includes enhancements to employee pay and working conditions aimed at improving staff retention and store consistency after stalled negotiations with a union representing some U.S. baristas.Second-quarter consolidated net revenue rose 9% to $9.5 billion, comfortably exceeding the consensus estimate of $9.12 billion.“Our second quarter marked the turn in our turnaround as our Back to Starbucks plan drove both top and bottom line growth,” said Brian Niccol, chairman and chief executive officer. “This is the Starbucks our customers deserve and the Starbucks we believe will deliver long-term growth and value for our partners and shareholders as we execute consistently, at-scale.”Adjusted earnings per share for the quarter came in at $0.50, beating analyst expectations of $0.42 by $0.08.The company’s consolidated operating margin improved to 9.4% for the quarter, an increase of 120 basis points compared with the same period last year.Starbucks stock price

Starbucks Reports Q2 Fiscal Year 2026 ResultsApril 28, 2026 4:05 PM
Business Wire
Company Delivers Healthy Comparable Store Sales and Earnings Growth

Global Q2 Comparable Store Sales Up 6.2%, Led by Transaction Growth

Q2 Consolidated Net Revenues Up 9% to $9.5 billion

Q2 GAAP EPS $0.45, Non-GAAP EPS $0.50

Raises Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance for Comparable Stores Sales Growth and Non-GAAP EPS


Starbucks Corporation (Nasdaq: SBUX) today reported financial results for its 13-week fiscal second quarter ended March 29, 2026. GAAP results in fiscal 2026 include items that are excluded from non-GAAP results. Please refer to the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release for more information.


Q2 Fiscal Year 2026 Highlights



Global comparable store sales increased 6.2%, primarily driven by a 3.8% increase in comparable transactions and a 2.3% increase in average ticket


North America comparable store sales increased 7.1%, primarily driven by a 4.4% increase in comparable transactions and a 2.6% increase in average ticket; U.S. comparable store sales increased 7.1%, primarily driven by a 4.3% increase in comparable transactions and a 2.7% increase in average ticket



International comparable store sales increased 2.6%, primarily driven by a 2.1% increase in comparable transactions and a 0.5% increase in average ticket; China comparable store sales increased 0.5%, primarily driven by a 2.1% increase in comparable transactions, partially offset by a 1.6% decline in average ticket






The company opened 11 net new stores in Q2, ending the period with 41,129 stores: 52% company-operated and 48% licensed


At the end of Q2, stores in the U.S. and China comprised 61% of the company’s global portfolio, with 16,944 and 7,991 stores in the U.S. and China, respectively






Consolidated net revenues increased 9% to $9.5 billion, or a 8% increase on a constant currency basis



GAAP operating margin expanded 180 basis points year-over-year to 8.7%, primarily driven by sales leverage and lower store operating and depreciation and amortization costs after classifying assets for Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale, partially offset by labor investments largely in support of “Back to Starbucks”


Non-GAAP operating margin expanded 120 basis points year-over-year to 9.4%, or 110 basis points on a constant currency basis






Effective tax rate of 29.8% compared to 23.5% in the prior year, with the increase primarily due to the impact of reorganizing certain entities in China, the $8 million discrete increase to the change in indefinite reinvestment assertions as a result of classifying our Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale in the first quarter of 2026, and the effect of higher pre-tax earnings and the proportionate impacts from certain permanent differences and discrete items


Non-GAAP effective tax rate increased 340 basis points to 27.1%






GAAP earnings per share of $0.45 increased 32% over prior year


Non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.50 expanded 22% over prior year, including on a constant currency basis






“Our second quarter marked the turn in our turnaround as our Back to Starbucks plan drove both top and bottom line growth,” commented Brian Niccol, chairman and chief executive officer. “This is the Starbucks our customers deserve and the Starbucks we believe will deliver long-term growth and value for our partners and shareholders as we execute consistently, at-scale.”


“We’ve been clear that topline improvement would come first, with earnings growth to follow. We have more work to do, but we're pleased to see the combination of our comp growth and cost discipline starting to show up in margins,” commented Cathy Smith, chief financial officer.

Includes only Starbucks® company-operated stores open 13 months or longer. Comparable store sales exclude the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and Siren Retail stores. Stores that are temporarily closed for fewer than three weeks or operating at reduced hours remain in comparable store sales while stores identified for permanent closures are removed in the month following closure.








(2)







Includes the impact of 7 stores closed in Q2 FY26 as part of our “Back to Starbucks” restructuring plan.







Net revenues for the North America segment increased 7% over Q2 FY25 to $6.9 billion in Q2 FY26, primarily driven by an increase in company-operated store revenue due to a 7.1% increase in comparable store sales, driven by a 4.4% increase in comparable transactions and a 2.6% increase in average ticket.


Operating income decreased to $679.9 million in Q2 FY26 compared to $748.3 million in Q2 FY25. Operating margin of 9.9% contracted from 11.6% in the prior year, primarily driven by labor investments largely in support of “Back to Starbucks”, product mix shift, and inflation led by tariffs and elevated coffee pricing, partially offset by sales leverage.

(2)







Includes the impact of 55 stores closed in Q2 FY26 as part of our “Back to Starbucks” restructuring plan.







Net revenues for the International segment increased 10% over Q2 FY25 to $2.1 billion in Q2 FY26, primarily driven by an increase in our licensed store business revenue, favorable foreign currency translation impacts, an increase in company-operated store revenue due to a 2.6% increase in comparable store sales, driven by a 2.1% increase in comparable transactions and a 0.5% increase in average ticket, and net new company-operated store growth of 3% over the past 12 months.


Operating income increased to $398.6 million in Q2 FY26 compared to $217.0 million in Q2 FY25. Operating margin of 19.4% expanded from 11.6% in the prior year, primarily driven by lower store operating and depreciation and amortization costs after classifying assets for Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale and ceasing the related depreciation and amortization, and sales leverage, partially offset by inflationary pressures, primarily driven by elevated coffee pricing.

Net revenues for the Channel Development segment increased 39% over Q2 FY25 to $567.8 million in Q2 FY26, primarily due to an increase in revenue in the Global Coffee Alliance.


Operating income increased to $229.9 million in Q2 FY26 compared to $193.5 million in Q2 FY25. Operating margin of 40.5% contracted from 47.3% in the prior year, primarily driven by lower income from the North American Coffee Partnership joint venture relative to segment revenue growth and other product mix shifts.


Company Update



In January, the company hosted its Investor Day in New York City where Starbucks leaders, including ceo, Brian Niccol, cfo, Cathy Smith, and other executive leaders highlighted the company’s turnaround progress, unveiled new coffeehouse innovations, introduced a reimagined loyalty program, and reaffirmed its commitment to be the world’s leading customer service company.



In March, the company launched its reimagined loyalty program with three levels of membership – Green, Gold, Reserve – to deliver more meaningful value, personalization, and engagement in members. This evolution is a key milestone in the Back to Starbucks strategy and has reinvigorated what it means to be a Starbucks Rewards member.



In March, the company hosted its 34th Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Brian Niccol delivered opening remarks, highlighting continued progress in the company’s Back to Starbucks plan and commitments. Shareholders voted in favor of all director nominees, approved the company’s executive compensation on an advisory basis, and ratified the appointment of the company’s independent registered public accounting firm.



In April, the company announced a new incentive rewards program designed to create more opportunities for hourly coffeehouse partners to share in the success of the Back to Starbucks transformation. The program reflects the company's continued commitment to offering one of the most competitive total compensation and benefits packages in the industry.



In April, the company announced the closing of its previously announced joint venture with Boyu Capital to operate Starbucks retail in China, marking a significant milestone in the company's long-term strategy to unlock sustainable, disciplined growth in China. Under the terms of the agreement, funds managed by Boyu Capital now hold a 60% stake in Starbucks China retail operations, while Starbucks retains a 40% ownership interest and continues to own and license the brand and intellectual property to the joint venture. The impact of this transaction will begin to be reported in connection with our third quarter results.



In April, the company announced a plan to open an additional office in Nashville, Tennessee intended to establish a more strategic presence in the Southeast region of the U.S. In March, management approved a restructuring plan to relocate certain functions of our support organization to the additional office.



The Board declared a cash dividend of $0.62 per share, payable on May 29, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2026. The company had 64 consecutive quarters of dividend payouts with CAGR of 17% over that time period, demonstrating the company's commitment to consistent value creation for shareholders.



Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance


The company updates its fiscal year 2026 guidance (all growth targets are relative to fiscal year 2025 non-GAAP measures unless specified):



Global and U.S. comparable store sales growth of 5.0% or greater;



Consolidated net revenues roughly flat year over year;



Non-GAAP consolidated operating margin to slightly improve year over year;



Non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $2.25 to $2.45; and



Approximately 600 to 650 net new coffeehouses globally across company-operated and licensed businesses.



Please refer to the section entitled "Non-GAAP Disclosure" and the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release. Certain projected non-GAAP financial measures cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.


Guidance reflects the retail operations of Starbucks China as a joint venture licensee structure in the second half of the fiscal year 2026. The retail operations of Starbucks China are reported as a company-operated business for the first half of fiscal year 2026.


The company will provide additional information regarding its business outlook during its regularly scheduled quarterly earnings conference call.

Non-GAAP Disclosure


In addition to the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) results provided in this release, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release that are not in accordance with, or alternatives for, GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP general and administrative expenses (G&A), non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income growth (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP earnings per share exclude the below-listed items and their related tax impacts, as management believes this exclusion contributes to a more meaningful evaluation of the company’s future operating performance and comparisons to the company's past operating performance. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to non-GAAP G&A, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income growth (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP earnings per share are G&A, operating income, operating income growth (loss), operating margin, effective tax rate and diluted net earnings per share, respectively.




Non-GAAP Exclusion







Rationale








Restructuring and impairment costs







Management excludes restructuring and impairment costs relating to the write-down of certain company-operated store assets and employee severance costs for the reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.








Transaction costs







Management excludes transaction costs for the reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.








Income tax impact from changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions







Management excludes the income tax impact from changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions as a result of classifying our Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale for the reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.








Transformation costs







Management excludes transformation costs that reflect temporary, incremental third-party professional services incurred in connection with a defined initiative to implement changes to certain processes and operating models. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.







The company also presents constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present the constant currency information, including with respect to consolidated net revenues, operating income, operating margin, and earnings per share, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars using the average monthly exchange rates from the comparative period rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods, excluding related hedging activities. We believe the presentation of results on a constant currency basis in addition to GAAP results helps users better understand our performance, because it excludes the effects of foreign currency volatility that are not indicative of our underlying operating results.


Non-GAAP G&A, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income growth (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP earnings per share, and constant currency may have limitations as analytical tools. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company’s results as reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than the company does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.


The company is unable to provide a reconciliation of our Non-GAAP consolidated operating margin growth target to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because the company believes that it would not be possible for it to have the required information necessary to quantitatively reconcile such measures with sufficient precision without unreasonable efforts.
