Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) will report its third-quarter fiscal 2025 results on July 29, 2025, after the market closes. In the previous quarter, it missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 16.3%. The current EPS estimate for the upcoming quarter remains at 46 cents, which reflects a 31.2% decline from 93 cents per share a year earlier. Revenue is projected at $9.29 billion, a year-over-year increase of 1.9%.
Factors influencing results include new store openings, menu innovations, and targeted labor investments. However, comparable store sales are anticipated to remain flat due to reduced customer traffic, while operating expenses are expected to rise 10.7% year over year to $5.5 billion, largely due to inflationary costs and labor investments.
Currently, SBUX has an earnings ESP of +1.20% and a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell), suggesting a lack of consensus for an earnings beat this quarter.
