Arabic version: ستاربكس ترفع توقعاتها لعام 2026 بعد ربع ثالث قوي

According to Cnbc, Starbucks raised its full-year fiscal 2026 outlook after reporting a fourth consecutive quarter of same-store sales growth. The coffee chain said it now expects adjusted earnings per share of $2.55 to $2.65, compared with its earlier forecast of $2.25 to $2.45. It also projected global same-store sales growth of nearly 6% and U.S. same-store sales growth of more than 6%.

For the quarter ended June 28, Starbucks reported adjusted earnings of 85 cents per share, above the 66 cents expected by analysts surveyed by LSEG. Revenue was $9.32 billion, exceeding expectations of $9.16 billion. Net income attributable to Starbucks rose to $1.05 billion, or 91 cents per share, from $558.3 million, or 49 cents per share, a year earlier.

Net sales fell 1% to $9.3 billion because of Starbucks’ sale of a controlling stake in its China business. However, sales at stores open at least 13 months increased 7.9%, above StreetAccount’s 6% estimate. North American same-store sales rose 8.1%, supported by a 4.5% increase in traffic and a 3.5% rise in average ticket.

CEO Brian Niccol said cafe renovations, menu improvements and marketing have helped the brand’s image recover among consumers. Starbucks opened 175 net new stores during the quarter and surpassed 1,000 cafe “uplifts,” reaching its fiscal 2026 goal ahead of schedule. The company now targets at least 1,500 store renovations by the end of fiscal 2026. Shares closed more than 1% higher on Thursday.
