What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of SBUX's valuation, growth and risks.
SBUX carries a trailing P/E of 59.36, which is 185.4% above the Consumer Cyclical median of 20.8. The peer comparison on this page puts the P/E at a premium to peers.
SBUX's revenue growth lags the sector. Revenue shrank 1.40% in the latest quarter year on year, while the sector median stands at 7.2%. Profitability is still solid, with a net margin of 5.17% and an operating margin of 12.92%. The stock also pays a trailing dividend yield of 2.42%, which works out to $2.49 a share per year.
SBUX reported earnings on July 29, 2026, beating the estimate by 30.77%: EPS came in at $0.85 against an expected $0.65. Investors responded well, and the stock rose 1.64% in the following session.
SBUX beat the EPS estimate in 3 of its last 8 reports, and every one of those beats was followed by a gain the next day. Of the 3 reports before the latest, the largest reaction came after the April 28, 2026 report, which beat the estimate by 13.64% while the stock rose 8.45%. Analysts' average EPS estimate for this fiscal year is $2.61, which would be growth of 22.4%, and $3.13 for next year (growth of 19.9%).
With a P/E of 59.36 sitting 185.4% above the sector median, SBUX is at a premium to peers, which means weaker results would face a tougher test. Typical daily moves for SBUX are about 1.45%, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 0.98. Over the last 18 months insiders sold $2.2M of stock and bought $995K. Such sales are often planned ahead, so they carry less weight than purchases.

CleaRank Financial AI analysis of SBUX
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) is still trending up. It trades at $102.69, 3.30% above its 50-day average of $99.41 and 3.13% above its 200-day average of $99.57. Near the top of its 52-week range, the price is 7.08% below the high of $110.51 and 31.67% above the low of $77.99. Still, the 50-day average is 0.17% below the 200-day, a sign that the recovery has yet to lift the longer-run averages.
The 14-day RSI of 65.1 is in the bullish zone, below the overbought line, and the MACD line is positive. The short and long run point different ways: the price rose 8.25% over the past month, fell 0.93% over the past three months and rose 19.28% over the past year.

- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 52-week high of $110.51 above the price, and the 200-day SMA at $99.57 below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 65.1, in the bullish zone, with the MACD line positive; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- Following the July 29, 2026 report, the share price rose 1.64% in the first session. Over the last 8 reports, SBUX beat estimates in 3.
SBUX's uptrend depends on the price holding above its 50-day average of $99.41 and its 200-day average of $99.57. A close below the 200-day average would be the first sign that the trend is weakening. If the price pulls back, the 200-day SMA at $99.57 is the first level it would reach.
The next level overhead for SBUX is the 52-week high of $110.51.

Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in SBUX, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in SBUX today could grow to about $12,853 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $27,419 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $6,025. The simulation models price only; at today's 2.42% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
SBUX Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $132 for SBUX by 2030 in the base case, from $103 today (1.3x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $61.87. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on SBUX's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
