Starbucks Corp. (ISIN US8552441094) was trading at EUR 87.18 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 10:16 a.m. CEST. On October 8, 2026, Starbucks approved a quarterly dividend increase from USD 0.62 to USD 0.63 per share, according to Business Wire.

Dividend signals a steady payout

The dividend decision adds a concrete shareholder-return measure as Starbucks works through its operational recovery. The new quarterly rate implies USD 2.52 on an annualized basis, while the next payment is scheduled for November 27, 2026, to shareholders of record on November 13, 2026, according to Business Wire.

The increase came after fiscal third-quarter results showed stronger customer traffic but lower reported revenue. Zacks reported that fiscal third-quarter revenue fell 1.40 percent year over year to USD 9.32 billion, while global comparable-store sales increased 7.90 percent.

What does the recovery mean for margins?

The operating picture improved more quickly than the top line. Starbucks reported GAAP operating income of USD 980.4 million for fiscal third-quarter 2026, and GAAP operating margin reached 10.50 percent, up from 9.90 percent a year earlier, according to Zacks. Adjusted operating margin rose to 14.40 percent from 10.10 percent, although restructuring costs and labor investment remained material factors.

For the fiscal fourth quarter, Starbucks expects US comparable-store sales growth of at least 6.50 percent and adjusted earnings per share of USD 2.55 to USD 2.65 for fiscal 2026. That outlook places the next test on whether traffic gains can translate into durable profitability rather than only higher transactions.

Dates investors can mark

Starbucks plans to release fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 results after the market close on October 29, 2026, with a conference call afterward, according to Business Wire. The dividend record and payment dates are November 13, 2026 and November 27, 2026.
