Price vs Fundamentals
Why The Stock Is Moving
What changed
The stock rose 17.34% over the last year. Revenue grew 5.83% over the trailing twelve months. Operating margin moved from 12.51% to 9.28%. Free cash flow declined 1.42% over the trailing twelve months.
What the market seems to be pricing
The stock has moved higher against modestly weakening underlying metrics. The operating data does not yet tell a clear story — the move may reflect sentiment, sector rotation, or macro factors rather than company-specific earnings power.
What would invalidate this read
Operating margin currently stands at 9.28%. A decisive move in revenue — currently up 5.83% — would be the clearest signal to resolve the ambiguity.
Company profile
Starbucks Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, operates as a roaster, marketer, and retailer of specialty coffee worldwide.

Analysis
Dividend Strengths
Dividend Achiever
SBUX has raised its dividend for 15 consecutive years — qualifying as a Dividend Achiever, demonstrating long-term commitment to shareholder income.
Strong dividend growth rate
The 5-year CAGR of 7.01% meaningfully outpaces inflation, compounding real income growth for long-term holders.
Risks to Watch
High payout ratio
With 187.08% of earnings paid as dividends, there is limited retained earnings for reinvestment — and a dividend cut becomes more likely if earnings decline.
Dividend exceeds free cash flow
Free cash flow covers only 0.88× the dividend. The company is paying out more than it generates in cash, which is unsustainable without borrowing or asset sales.
