The week opened on Tuesday at $104.68, touched a high of $104.76, then sold off in each session. By Friday it had marked a low of $98.46, the bottom of its 60-day range, before settling at $98.74. Weekly amplitude was 6.02%, and average daily volume of around 6.19 million shares sat about 1.3% below the median, pointing to a quiet but steady drawdown. ## Key Events The week’s news leaned strategic and personal rather than operational. Starbucks International CEO Brady Brewer sold 2,229 shares on 10 September for roughly $235,742. That same day, Starbucks partnered with the AI-powered Alipay agent ‘A Bao’ to launch a new AI service called Coffee Alarm Clock. On 11 September, the CEO said the turnaround is entering its next phase, a comment that landed against a falling share price. Earlier in the week, a 9 September report noted that tariff relief failed to lift Nike and Starbucks shares for long, suggesting limited follow-through from trade policy news. After Friday’s close, headlines about Starbucks calling for a safer Seattle coincided with a small bounce. Overall, there were no earnings or major operating releases, and the week’s events stayed mostly at the level of partnerships and sentiment. ## Analyst Ratings Thirty-six brokers cover Starbucks: 12 rate it buy, 4 overweight, 17 hold, 2 underweight, and 1 sell. Combining the positive tiers, 16 brokers rate it buy or overweight, while 3 rate it underweight or sell. The consensus rating is buy, and the consensus target price is $112.23, about 13.66% above the latest close of $98.74. Individual targets range from $81 to $143, a wide spread that signals real disagreement. Within the restaurant industry, Starbucks ranks second among 46 names by number of analyst ratings, reflecting heavy coverage. ## The Week Ahead The macro calendar is dense next week. Tuesday brings the New York Fed manufacturing index, with a prior reading of 20.6 and a forecast of 14.75. Wednesday is the busiest session, with retail sales, retail sales ex-autos, import prices, the NAHB housing market index, and EIA crude inventories all due. Retail sales have a prior of -0.6% and a forecast of 0.9%, while retail control has a prior of -0.4% and a forecast of 0.4%. Starbucks itself has no earnings on the calendar, but consumer spending data could set the tone for restaurant stocks more broadly. ## In Short Starbucks this week sits inside a triangle of valuation, fund flows, and analyst views. The consensus rating is buy and the consensus target sits 13.66% above spot, yet targets span from $81 to $143, so conviction is far from uniform. The P/E of 56.7x is not cheap. On the latest trading day, flows from retail and large-lot players were both positive, though modest. The more pressing signal is price: the stock closed at the bottom of its 60-day range, with no clear catalyst in sight. What matters next is whether consumer data can steady restaurant sentiment, and whether the turnaround narrative firms up into visible operating numbers. *This article is generated by LongbridgeAI from market data, for information only and not investment advice.* ### Related Stocks - [SBUX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SBUX.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Starbucks’s shameless makeover won’t fool Britain](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298748746.md) - [Starbucks Stock (SBUX) Rises as It Brews up $3B Japanese Business Sale](https://longbridge.com/en/news/299184397.md) - [Starbucks considers selling majority stake in its Japan business, sources say](https://longbridge.com/en/news/299159101.md) - [Starbucks is about to report earnings.
