Coffee retailer Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) is expected to report year-over-year declines for revenue and earnings per share in the company's first-quarter financial results after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">market close Tuesday</a>.
Here's a look at the earnings estimates and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Starbucks to report first-quarter revenue of $9.32 billion, down from $9.43 billion in last year's first quarter, according to data <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent012725&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company missed analyst estimates for revenue in four straight quarters and missed estimates in six of the past 10 quarters.
Analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of 67 cents, down from 90 cents in last year's first quarter. The company has missed analyst estimates for earnings per share in three of the past four quarters but beaten estimates in five of the past 10 quarters.
The company has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41638437/brian-niccol-confident-customers-will-come-back-to-starbucks-as-company-shifts-strategy-under-new-c">not shared guidance</a> for fiscal 2025 citing the CEO transition to Brian Niccol in 2024.

What Experts are Saying: Bank of America <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42985789/starbucks-shines-qsr-faces-challenges-bofas-2025-restaurant-outlook">maintained a Buy rating</a> on Starbucks with a $117 price target ahead of the company's first-quarter results.
Bank of America analysts highlighted the company's brand strength and the potential to put emphasis on productive areas under new leadership in the January investor note.
RBC Capital<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SBUX/analyst-ratings"> reiterated an Outperform rating</a> and $115 price target ahead of the first quarter report.
Data from <a href="https://www.placer.ai/blog/coffee-fix-starbucks-and-dunkin-in-2024">Placer.ai </a>could serve as a preview of the Starbucks first-quarter same-store sales and overall revenue.
A report highlighting the comparison between Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts showed that both coffee chains had drops in foot traffic in the fourth calendar quarter of 2024. Starbucks first fiscal quarter includes the months of October, November and December.
In the fourth quarter, foot traffic at Starbucks stores were down 2.9% year-over-year, compared to a 0.7% drop for Dunkin' locations, according to the report.
Here's how the fourth calendar quarter foot traffic compares to other 2024 calendar quarters:
<ul>
<li>Q1: Starbucks +1.1% year-over-year, Dunkin' +1.9% year-over-year</li>
<li>Q2: Starbucks +1.9% year-over-year, Dunkin' -0.7% year-over-year</li>
<li>Q3: Starbucks -1.8% year-over-year, Dunkin' -1.3% year-over-year</li>
</ul>
Overall in 2024, Starbucks foot traffic was "relatively flat" compared to 2023, Placer.ai said. The key here could be the sharp drop off in the fourth-quarter data.
The report showed Starbucks saw visitors stay slightly longer than in the past and most visits happen between the 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. time period, while Dunkin' got a larger share of foot traffic before 10 a.m. likely due to food options.
One key to watch is Starbucks increased foot traffic related to several key dates. The report showed that three days in the fourth calendar quarter saw large spikes compared to the daily foot traffic average in 2024.
<ul>
<li>Red Cup Day (Nov. 14): +40.4% to daily average</li>
<li>Black Friday: +26.6% to daily average</li>
<li>Super Saturday: +27.5% to daily average</li>
</ul>
These three days could provide a boost to Starbucks results in the quarter.
Key Items to Watch: Aside from foot traffic trends and key days in the quarter, there are other key items that investors and analysts are likely watching ahead of the first fiscal quarter.
New reports showed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43135622/coffee-prices-soar-to-record-highs-could-starbucks-face-margin-squeeze">higher coffee future prices</a>, which could put Starbucks margins and hedging strategy in focus. The company could get asked about what it is doing to prevent further price increases in the future for its commodities and pushing increases back to its customers.
Strikes at Starbucks locations in major cities around <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42666501/starbucks-faces-major-strike-on-christmas-eve-300-locations-affected-as-5000-workers-walk-out">the Christmas holiday </a>was a big topic during the quarter and the company could share the impact the strikes had and how it is looking to the future as more stores unionize.
Starbucks said<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/asset-sales/24/11/42117962/starbucks-eyes-stake-sale-in-china-amid-fierce-competition-and-falling-sales"> it was considering </a>a sale or partial sale of its Chinese segment. The company will share how this segment is performing in the financial results, but most attention will turn to if there is progress in this consideration and how it could help alleviate poor financial results for the region.
Without current fiscal guidance, investors will also be looking for commentary on the company's growth and initiatives under new CEO Niccol.
"It is clear we need to fundamentally change our strategy to win back customers. ‘Back to Starbucks' is that fundamental change," Niccol said after fourth-quarter financial results.
SBUX Price Action: Starbucks stock is up 0.70% to $99.17 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $71.55 to $102.56. Starbucks stock is up 6% over the last year.

Starbucks Q1 Earnings Preview: Data Shows Visits Down, Will Company Continue Streak Of Missing Revenue Estimates?

The recent TikTok ban in the U.S. caused millions of people a lot of confusion and frustration. Over the weekend, TikTok was removed from Apple's App Store and Google Play because of a nationwide ban. If someone deleted the app, they couldn't download it again. This has created a booming market for iPhones with TikTok still installed, with some devices selling for thousands of dollars and others listed for millions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Phones Selling for Thousands—Or More</h2>
iPhones with TikTok pre-installed have turned into highly sought-after items on eBay. Some sellers are asking for smaller amounts, like $200-$500, but others are asking for way more. One iPhone reportedly sold for $14,000, and another was listed for a shocking $4.9 million. In Raleigh, North Carolina, a seller posted an iPhone with TikTok for over $1 million, saying the only issue was a small scratch on the screen protector.

</ul>
USA Today reports that in Florida, another seller listed an iPhone 15 Pro Max "With TikTok" for $10,000, and over 1,800 people viewed the listing in just one day. A seller in the U.K. priced an iPhone 16 at $47,000, showing that this craze isn't just happening in the U.S.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why The Rush?</h2>
The frenzy began on January 19, 2025, when TikTok went dark due to a law requiring ByteDance, its China-based parent company, to sell its U.S. operations. Though the app became usable again after 14 hours—thanks to an executive order by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43076609/tiktok-back-online-in-us-after-trump-vows-monday-executive-order"> President Donald Trump delaying enforcement</a>—it remained unavailable for download or updates. Users who deleted the app or got new phones found themselves out of luck.
Apple confirmed the app's removal from its App Store, stating, "If you already have [TikTok] installed on your device, it will remain on your device, but it can't be redownloaded or restored if you move to a new device."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Uncertain Future of TikTok</h2>
TikTok's future in the U.S. is still unclear. Trump has floated the idea of a joint venture where the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43088960/trump-suspends-us-tiktok-ban-for-75-days-with-executive-order-but-legal-and-market-uncertainty-looms-over-platforms-future">U.S. government would own a 50% stake</a> in the app. He's also suggested potential buyers like Elon Musk or Oracle's Larry Ellison. Meanwhile, negotiations between ByteDance, the U.S. government, and other stakeholders are ongoing, with some experts predicting a resolution could happen within weeks.
Until then, TikTok users who still have the app installed can continue using it, though it may eventually become outdated without updates. For those who deleted the app, the only way to get it back is to shell out for one of these overpriced eBay listings.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Users Desperate To Reconnect</h2>
The ban has left many TikTok fans frustrated. New York Post reports that online forums are flooded with users offering thousands of dollars for phones with the app. "I deleted TikTok, and now I can't get it back!" one person posted on social media, <a href="https://x.com/Terrell_2_Cold/status/1881204038626402590">offering</a> $5,000 for a phone with the app installed. Another shared their regret: "I thought the ban was going to last a long time, so I deleted it, only to realize it was back hours later."
While some have labeled the brief ban a political stunt, others are capitalizing on the situation. The exorbitant eBay listings highlight just how much people are willing to pay to get back on TikTok—even if it's temporary. Whether the app's presence on the App Store is restored soon or not, one thing is clear: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43070367/kevin-oleary-warns-that-shutting-down-tiktok-would-hurt-6-million-small-businesses-in-america-that-rely-on-it-to-make-a-living">TikTok's grip on American users</a> remains as strong as ever.

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated to correct the name of Edward Jones analyst Mona Mahajan. 
President Donald Trump&#8216;s first week in office pushed equities to new highs, with the S&amp;P 500 marking its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42653753/history-may-hint-at-sp-500-struggles-in-2025-yet-there-is-also-hope-heres-why">first record</a> of 2025. Trump&#8217;s focus on four key areas, driven by macroeconomic considerations, included technology, tariffs, the energy sector, and immigration reform.
What Happened: Some highlights from Trump&#8217;s first week included pouring tariff threats and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43111153/nvidia-and-ai-stock-rises-as-trump-announces-500-billion-stargate-ai-infrastructure-venture">$500 billion artificial intelligence project &#8211; Stargate</a>. This drove a rally in tech stocks and among the project beneficiaries.
However, experts <a href="https://www.edwardjones.com/us-en/market-news-insights/guidance-perspective/political-impact-portfolios">at</a> Edward Jones said that investors should remember to &#8220;not play politics with their portfolios.&#8221; The note stated that market forces are more powerful than political forces over the long term. &#8220;What sounds promising during election campaigns often may not work in reality.&#8221;

Goldman Research Indicates Markets Fall After Imposition And Retaliation — Economist Warns &#8216;We Lose When We Punch And We Lose When We&#8217;re Punched&#8217;</a>
While new policy proposals were generally more measured than expected, which pleased markets, Edward Jones anticipates volatility as further updates are released. Here is their view on the list of reforms and which sector and stocks may be impacted by it.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will The Energy Companies Support New Reforms?</h3>
The new administration prioritized energy reform, with Trump fulfilling his &#8220;drill, baby, drill&#8221; promise through executive actions supporting U.S. oil and gas production. These included declaring a national energy emergency to ease fossil-fuel production restrictions, expediting energy infrastructure projects, rolling back climate-change initiatives, and withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement.
However, Edward Jones&#8217; analyst Mona Mahajan observed that increasing oil and gas supply would lower energy prices, potentially putting downward pressure on revenue growth and earnings for major energy producers. &#8220;Lower energy and gas prices would, however, be a positive for containing inflation.&#8221;
The exchange-traded fund tracking the sector, iShares US Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYE#NYSE">IYE</a>), dropped 2.46% in the four sessions of the last week. Whereas, Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) slipped 1.64%, Devon Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) fell 2.10%, and TotalEnergies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) declined 0.64%, in the same period, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will Immigration Reform Increase Inflation?</h3>
The executive orders also prioritized immigration reform as key actions included declaring a national emergency, labeling drug cartels as terrorist organizations, and restricting benefits for undocumented immigrants. While mass deportations have not materialized, troop deployments have been enhanced at the border.
Investors will closely monitor any expansion of deportation activity, as this could significantly disrupt labor markets, said the note. &#8220;A smaller labor force could mean not only softer growth in the U.S., but it may also cause employers to pay higher wages to attract workers, which could lead to price increases and renewed inflationary pressure,&#8221; the note added.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">No Concrete Action On Tariffs Yet</h3>
Despite the threats to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, along with 10% on China, starting Feb. 1, no action has been taken. The Trump administration has directed federal agencies to evaluate U.S. trade policy and submit recommendations by April 1.
Tariffs are increasingly likely to target specific sectors and companies and serve as a negotiating leverage rather than a tool for global trade conflicts, the note said. &#8220;The administration is likely more sensitive to enacting tariffs that could increase consumer prices and be inflationary,&#8221; it added.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bets On AI To Drive Technology</h3>
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>) are the U.S.-listed beneficiaries of the private-sector-backed project Stargate, announced by Trump last week. He also signed an executive order to make the U.S. the global leader in artificial intelligence, directing agencies to develop policies to ensure dominance in the field.
&#8220;The investments in data centers and electricity are critical for the U.S. to maintain leadership and be a driver for AI technology and applications. The government investment in technology infrastructure, we believe, will pay dividends in the form of enhanced innovation and productivity in the future,&#8221; the note added.
The ETF tracking AI-linked companies, Invesco AI and Next Gen Software ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IGPT#NYSE">IGPT</a>), rose 0.08% in the four sessions of the previous week. While MSFT was up 3.63%, NVDA gained 1.27% and ORCL advanced 6.39%, in the same period, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

What's Next: The trader predicts artificial intelligence to dominate as the best-performing sector, though meme coins might rival it due to higher market caps despite challenges from token dilution.

Shares of crypto-linked stocks are trading lower amid weakness in Bitcoin, which has dropped on overall market uncertainty in Monday's session.

On The Dave Ramsey Show, a caller named Kyle shared a confession that sounds pretty hard to believe. In a clip shared to TikTok with the caption, "I hid $26K in Pokémon debt from my wife – now she wants a divorce," Kyle explained how his secret $26,000 spending spree on Pokémon cards and social media schemes went completely off the rails. His wife, pregnant with their fourth child, found out – and filed for divorce. What followed was a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42420115/nondisclosure-is-lying-says-dave-ramsey-advising-couples-to-fully-disclose-finances-before-tying-the-knot">deep dive into financial infidelity</a>, broken trust and one very expensive lesson in what not to do with your money … or your marriage.&nbsp;
Kyle explained that his goal was to flip the cards for profit, but that plan fell apart faster than a flimsy Pikachu binder. When Ramsey pressed him for details, the spending wasn't just on Pokémon cards. Kyle also invested money into giveaways and followers to build a social media platform. Ramsey and co-host Jade Warshaw dissected the situation, with Ramsey <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39821566/dave-ramsey-slams-instagram-rich-your-fancy-friends-are-probably-broke">summing it up as a "false front"</a> – an attempt to appear more successful than he was.

</ul>
Warshaw cut straight to the heart of the matter. "Yeah, it's not because of these Pokémon cards," she said. "That was just the final straw." Kyle admitted that his behavior leading up to the debt hadn't been great either – he described himself as "angry" and "not pleasant to be around."
When Ramsey asked what Kyle thought his wife was most upset about, he didn't hesitate. "The deceit. The betrayal," he said, fully owning up to the damage he'd caused. Ramsey didn't sugarcoat it, calling it "financial infidelity." "It's the same part of the brain you damaged," he said, comparing the betrayal to cheating in a relationship.
Kyle shared that he's started counseling, with his wife joining him for the first session. Ramsey and Warshaw both stressed the importance of rebuilding trust. Ramsey even gave him a reading assignment: Dr. Henry Cloud's Trust. He warned Kyle that rebuilding trust isn't just about the big things – it's about being transparent with every decision, no matter how small. "Not even a pack of gum," Ramsey said, driving the point home with an example so mundane it hurt.

Statistics show that financial infidelity affects nearly one in three couples, with 31% of adults admitting to hiding purchases, debts or accounts from their partners. Communication is critical – studies reveal that couples who discuss finances openly are more likely to feel secure and satisfied in their relationships. For situations as severe as Kyle's, seeking financial advice or counseling isn't just helpful; it's necessary. A financial advisor or counselor can provide tools to navigate debt while helping couples rebuild trust – a process Ramsey emphasized would take radical honesty and patience.
As the call wrapped up, Kyle revealed that he's trying to sell the cards but will be lucky to recover $5,000. Ramsey empathized, sharing his story of going bankrupt chasing a get-rich-quick scheme. But he clarified that rebuilding trust takes radical honesty and a lot of time. For Kyle, it's now a matter of whether his wife will give him that chance.
