SBUX vs. ETF Alternatives
Company Description

- Thursday, April 11, 9:38 AM Longbow Research is out with a note to clients indicating demand for K-cup products is strong. The data point is good news for Dunkin' Brands (DNKN +0.1%), Starbucks (SBUX +0.2%) and Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR +0.7%) as the thesis that the K-cup market is big enough for multiple companies looks to be playing out. What to watch: A key trend is that fresh generic brands in the market are drawing new customers instead of taking away market share from the established sellers. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, April 10, 2:17 PM Restaurant visits by parties of adults grew by 1% last year to end four consecutive declines in the category but visits with children in tow showed flat growth once again, according to tracking from the NPD Group. A tripping point for the sector has been the lack of growth in visits by parties with kids. What to watch: Analysts see increased promotional activity sneaking in on the industry's margins. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Sunday, April 7, 2:01 AM The median total salary for the 100 highest-paid CEOs of major companies edged up 2.8% to over $14M in 2012, while the cost of perks, such as the use of private jets, jumped 19% to 320,635. Oracle's (ORCL) Larry Ellison was the top earner, receiving $96.2M in salary, perks and bonuses, and $90.7M in stock options. Other CEOs in the top 10 include HCA's (HCA) Richard Bracken, Disney's (DIS) Robert Iger, Nike's (NKE) Mark Parker, Starbucks' (SBUX) Howard Schultz and American Express' (AXP) Kenneth Chenault. 4 Comments
- Friday, April 5, 7:22 AM Companies selling coffee are expected to continue to skate by with high prices on premium coffee despite the recent drop in coffee commodity costs. Channel checks and recent sales reports indicate demand and pricing power is as strong as ever. Perking up: Starbucks (SBUX), Dunkin' Brands (DNKN), McDonald's (MCD), Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR), Tim Hortons (THI), and Whole Foods Market (WFM). 6 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, April 4, 9:10 AM Starbucks (SBUX) plans to add 100 new stores in Indonesia and another 100 in the Philippines over the next four years as part of its expansion plan in Southeast Asia. The company has been sourcing arabica coffee from the region since 1971. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, April 2, 4:32 PM Starbucks (SBUX) sells its remaining 18% stake in its Mexican business to JV partner and local restaurant owner Alsea. As part of the deal, Alsea has obtained exclusive rights to operate Starbucks shops in Mexico for the next 14 years, with an option to extend its rights for another 10. Terms are undisclosed. 3 Comments [Consumer, M&A]
- Tuesday, April 2, 9:00 AM While major food companies look to China for growth, the government in China looks set to play a little defense. State-owned China Foods says it will buy wineries in the U.S. and Australia to help the nation compete on the wine front. The bigger issue: Will China stand pat on the coffee front while Nestle (NSRGY.PK) and Starbucks (SBUX) invade its turf? 1 Comment [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Tuesday, April 2, 7:18 AM Nestle (NSRGY.PK) plans to spend at least 100M yuan ($16M) on a new coffee facility in China in an effort to promote the alternative to tea. Although the final verdict on consumers' appetite for coffee in China isn't quite in yet, coffee sales rose 13% last year to 7B yuan ($1.13 billion) and Starbucks (SBUX) is optimistic enough on the market that it's considering selling bagged coffee in grocery stores. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, March 27, 7:48 AM Starbucks (SBUX) is in line for a nice little margin kicker with Arabica coffee bean prices down 50% while the company's store and bagged coffee prices remain level. OptionMonster’s Jon Najarian thinks the market is undervaluing just how big of a profit boost the company might see this year from the environment of lower wholesale coffee prices. 6 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, March 26, 5:23 PM While there’s been a lot of insider selling recently - SandRidge (SD), DirecTV (DTV), Lowe's (LOW) and Starbucks (SBUX), just this month - it’s not enough to concern investors, InsiderScore says. An uptick in selling during the first and fourth quarters is normal because insiders cash in shares for tax purposes during Q4 while restricted stock and options often vest during Q1. 9 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Monday, March 25, 2:30 PM Restaurant blues: The consensus estimate of economists for consumer spending growth in February is for a 0.6% gain after the measure rose 0.2% in January but don't expect restaurants to report strong numbers for Q1. Inside tracking and guidance warnings from key companies indicate that the sector is feeling the pressure of higher payroll taxes. Major chains also face a tough period of comparable with last year's winter much milder on average in the U.S. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, March 22, 2:05 PM To no one's surprise, Starbucks (SBUX) customers like the idea of getting Hazelnut Macchiatos at half-price. A Groupon (GRPN +4.6%) deal in which $10 Starbucks gift cards are being sold for $5 has disrupted Groupon's site and (according to a Starbucks spokeswoman) yielded over 100K sales today. The promotion also seems to be giving a lift to Groupon shares, which have a history of seeing Friday short-covering rallies. 7 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Friday, March 22, 10:34 AM Starbucks (SBUX +0.9%) is considering selling bagged coffee and bottled drinks in grocery stores in China, according to a top exec in the region. The plan would include selling a local variety from the Yunnan province. The big picture: Though the development could be huge for the company in the long-term with coffee demand soaring in China, expect Starbucks to adopt a probing, moderated pace at first to avoid the high-profile misfires of U.S. retailers such as RadioShack and Best Buy in the nation. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, March 21, 9:29 AM Coffee watch: Coffee futures (chart) continue to drift lower this year. Though some relief for bagged coffee sellers on wholesale costs is already built into estimates, the margin boost could be even better than expected. A long-term trend to watch is demand in India where the emerging coffee scene could be a disrupter to pricing if sales soar. Coffee players: DNKN, SBUX, GMR, PEET, KRFT, SJM. Comment! [Consumer, Commodities]
- Wednesday, March 20, 3:10 PM Starbucks (SBUX +0.8%) hopes to double membership in its loyalty program with a big push that starts in May. The company will incorporate Teavana outlets and grocery store purchases into the program. The moves aren't aimless brand-building with the company's existing loyalty program already seen as a successful profit-driver. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Tuesday, March 19, 1:34 PM The purchase of a coffee farm in Costa Rica by Starbucks (SBUX -1.3%) has lot more to do with science than finding new flavors, according to industry watchers. A pesky coffee rust fungus in Latin America is a growing concern and could affect wholesale coffee prices if a solution isn't found. 1 Comment [Consumer]
