Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what SBUX's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. SBUX trades near $100.15, around its 50-day average ($101.14) and 200-day average ($91.90). Price tangled in its moving averages means there is no clear trend — the stock is ranging.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 54 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. SBUX's is $2.75 (~2.7% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month SBUX found buyers near $93.64 (support) and sellers near $106.16 (resistance); its 52-week range is $77.99–$108.88. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 1.3× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

4Y CAGR
6.4%
Revenue moved from $29.06B in 2021 to $37.18B in 2025, a 6.4% compound annual growth rate. The most recent year grew a steady 5.8% year over year. Slower, mature growth is common for established businesses.
Gross Margin
21.9%
Operating Margin
7.9%
Net Margin
5.0%
ROE
115.7%
Starbucks keeps about 3.9% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 21.9% gross margin and 7.9% operating margin. Return on equity is 115.7% and return on invested capital about 35.0%. Thin margins leave less cushion if costs rise.
Total Debt
$15.08B
Net Debt
$11.90B
Net Debt / EBITDA
4.05x
Debt / Equity
8.07x
Leverage: debt-to-equity is 8.1x, and operating profit covers interest about 5.4x, with a current ratio of 0.9x. That is elevated leverage, which raises risk if earnings or rates move against it. It carries roughly $15.08B of total debt against $3.18B of cash.
Operating CF
$4.75B
Free Cash Flow
$2.44B
FCF Margin
6.6%
In the latest year Starbucks produced about $4.75B of operating cash flow and $2.44B of free cash flow after capital spending. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 4.8% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for SBUX:
- Strong return on equity (115.7%) shows capital is put to work well.
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~4.8%) funds buybacks and dividends.
- Pays a 2.4% dividend on top of any price gains.
The case against SBUX:
- Thin net margins (3.9%) leave little room for error.
- Elevated leverage (debt/equity 8.1x) adds financial risk.
- A rich 76.0x earnings multiple prices in a lot of growth.
- Our model's overall read is Weak (29/100).
Valuation risk — at 76.0x earnings, disappointing results could compress the multiple.
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 8.1x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Margin risk — thin profitability (3.9%) is vulnerable to cost or pricing pressure.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the fundamentals screen weakly: Starbucks is a large-cap consumer discretionary business growing at a mature pace, with modest profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 76.0x earnings, which our model scores Weak (29/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
