Watch: Watch Starbucks’ next quarterly earnings for impact of restructuring and risk management reforms on margins and revenue growth.
Starbucks posted strong fiscal Q2 results with global comparable store sales rising over 6%, U.S. transactions up 4%, and EPS growing 22% to $0.50. Revenue increased 8% to $9.5 billion, with operating margin improving 110 basis points to 9.4%. However, Starbucks Korea saw significant sales declines following a controversial 'Tank Day' campaign tied to the May 18 Gwangju Uprising anniversary, leading to executive dismissal and highlighting risk management flaws. A $400 million restructuring charge is ongoing.
Strong underlying global growth and margins support Starbucks' turnaround despite regional setbacks and restructuring costs, maintaining positive operational momentum.
