Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect SBUX to earn is drifting higher (+2.9%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.
A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

Starbucks Corporation (SBUX): score, valuation & FAQ
Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) is a Restaurants company that scores 47.4 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a below-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
The model flags P/E (D) as weaker areas. On valuation, SBUX sits about 53% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 23% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.
Is SBUX a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores SBUX 47.4 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a below-average reading. A score is a quantitative screen of Starbucks Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does SBUX score 47.4 on Bull Rankings?
The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). SBUX grades middle-of-pack across the strip, and is held back by P/E (D). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.
Is SBUX overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $107.49, SBUX sits about 53% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 23% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 61.8x P/E (graded D). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in SBUX?
Trailing P/E 61.8x prices in sustained high growth — any quarter that disappoints triggers sharp re-rating. Trading within 3% of the 52-week high — limited technical margin of safety; a momentum reversal would test conviction. ROE -26% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
