What Does Wall Street Think Of Starbucks' Earnings?

Starbucks Corporation SBUX is down 1.0 percent this week after the company reported mostly in-line earnings but gave relatively weak 2016 guidance. Here’s a look at what several top firms have to say about the stock now.

Stephens
Analyst Will Slabaugh likes the company’s top-line earnings growth, but worries that the “current valuation (17x our FY16 EBITDA) accounts for such performance, leaving little margin for error and hurting the risk/reward.”

The firm maintains its Equal Weight rating and $56 price target.

UBS
Analyst Keith Siegner calls Starbucks’ earnings “impressive by any standard, showing how reinvestmet into partners, technology and overall customer experience help SBUX gain mind share, wallet share and ultimately sustain growth at scale.”

The firm maintains its Buy rating and $70 price target.

The firm maintains its Neutral rating and $61 price target.

Barclays
Analyst Jeffrey Bernstein says the firm is bullish in the long-term but believes “shares are fairly valued at ~28x forward.”

The firm maintains its Equal Weight rating and $62 price target.
