Starbucks (SBUX) Q4 profit meets estimates but guides FY20 EPS below view

By Staff Correspondent |

Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: SBUX) reported a 6% increase in earnings for the fourth quarter of 2019 helped by sustained positive momentum across each of its business segments. The bottom line came in line with the analysts’ expectations while the top line exceeded consensus estimates. However, the company guided earnings for the full year 2020 below the Street’s view.

Net income increased by 6% to $802.9 million while earnings per share grew by 20% to $0.67 per share due to lower weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted earnings climbed by 13% to $0.70 per share.
