Thursday, November 29, 2012, 5:18 PM Harvard bets on the Starbucks (SBUX) acquisition of Teavana going through, disclosing it purchased 5.77% of the outstanding shares of TEA after the Nov. 14 merger announcement. (13D) 1 Comment [Consumer, M&A]
Thursday, November 29, 2012, 2:53 PM Something is brewing at Teavana (TEA +0.3%) after a mid-afternoon trading spike caught the attention of traders. An unconfirmed report indicating the Starbucks-Teavana deal was approved by the FTC could be behind the action. Comment! [Consumer]

Tuesday, November 20, 2012, 3:09 PM Starbucks (SBUX +0.4%) says it will assess a report on Teavana (TEA -4.9%) before commenting on it publicly. Though analysts don't expect the flareup cause by a motivated short seller to be a deal killer, a filing with the SEC shows the breakup cost for Starbucks is only around $18M if it gets cold feet. 2 Comments [Consumer]
Tuesday, November 20, 2012, 1:47 PM Teavana (TEA -3%) responds to accusations from short seller Glaucus Research in a concise statement denying them across the board.

(Teavana research report .pdf) 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
Tuesday, November 20, 2012, 10:06 AM Glaucus Research drops the hammer on Teavana (TEA -1.9%) with a claim that an accredited lab in Germany showed the firm's teas contain pesticides above permissible amounts. Shares of Teavana are zigzagging up and down as the veracity of the report is debated, while Teavana-buyer Starbucks snoozes the news. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 3:28 PM More on the Starbucks (SBUX) - Teavana (TEA) deal: The company says it will add a high-profile neighborhood concept to the Teavana brand's footprint in U.S. malls coast to coast. With the Tazo business already under its corporate umbrella, Starbucks says a two-two-tiered market position will be created. But is tea really the new coffee in the U.S. or is this an international play by Starbucks? Post-deal: SBUX -2.3%, TEA +52.2%. 1 Comment [Consumer, M&A, On the Move]
Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 3:08 PM Starbucks (SBUX -1.8%) confirms it will buy Teavana (TEA +27.5%) for $15.50 a share. The company expects the deal to be accretive to 2013 earnings by a penny a share. An interesting side note is that Teavana was taken public just 16 months ago by Goldman Sachs and Bank of America at $17 bucks a share. Comment! [Consumer, M&A, On the Move]
Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 2:22 PM Shares of Teavana (TEA +27.5%) skyrocket after the Atlanta Business Chronicle reports Starbucks (SBUX -1.8%) will announce tomorrow it plans to acquire the company. By buying the Teavana brand, Starbucks could jumpstart its entry into the tea-only store market. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Wednesday, September 5, 2012, 12:04 PM Shares of Teavana (TEA +4.4%) move up today after its Q2 results beat on the top line amid a 38% jump in Y/Y revenue. The company also guided FY12 sales higher, now expecting them to come in between $222M - $231M. Street estimates are for $220M. Goldman remains cautious on the shares however, saying same-store sales are still depressed, and profitability trends continue to be weak. Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 4:04 PM Teavana Holdings (TEA): Q2 EPS of $0.00 misses by $0.02. Revenue of $43.1M (+38% Y/Y) beats by $3M. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings]
Thursday, June 21, 2012, 6:57 AM Though Teavana Holdings (TEA) appears to be at risk from a plan by Starbucks to open stores under the Tazo banner, analysts with William Blair see enough differentiating factors with the company's products to back the name. Also at work is the notion that in the past the sudden presence of a big name in a consumer market has actually helped premium specialty companies by educating consumers. Comment! [Consumer]
