The argument
Both sides of the sky
Every call has a case against it. Here's the honest version of both.
The bull case
- Starbucks is an iconic global brand with a massive and loyal customer base.
- The company pays a dividend, offering a 2.4% yield to shareholders.
- Revenues are still climbing, showing the brand's continued ability to grow sales.
The bear case
- A price-to-earnings ratio of 76.4 suggests the stock is significantly overvalued.
- The company's high debt-to-equity ratio of 8.07 points to a heavily leveraged balance sheet.
- Profitability is a concern, with net margins sitting at a low 3.9%.
