In other recent news, Starbucks reported several significant developments. The company has announced a change in its office work policy, requiring employees at Seattle and Toronto support centers and North American regional offices to work from the office four days a week, up from the previous three-day requirement. This move is part of Starbucks’ broader strategy to enhance its in-store experience and address sales growth challenges amid economic uncertainty. Meanwhile, Melius Research initiated coverage on Starbucks with a Sell rating and a price target of $80, citing concerns over the company’s operational consistency and challenges in the Chinese market. On the other hand, Citi raised its price target for Starbucks to $100, expecting positive results from the Green Apron store implementations. Stifel maintained its Buy rating and increased its price target to $105, highlighting ongoing discussions about selling a stake in Starbucks’ China business. These discussions are seen as a potential strategic move to strengthen Starbucks’ market position in China. Despite these developments, Stifel remains focused on Starbucks’ U.S. turnaround efforts as a key driver for future growth.
