Starbucks stock (ISIN US8552441094) closed at $99.12 on September 14, 2026, up 0.4 percent, with a market capitalization of $112.94 billion. The move came after Starbucks Corp. reported fiscal third-quarter revenue of $9.32 billion and EPS of $0.85 for the quarter ended June 28, 2026.

Guidance stays in view

According to MarketBeat, Wells Fargo cut Starbucks from overweight to underweight in a report on August 3, 2026, while Deutsche Bank kept a buy rating and a $126.00 price objective on July 30, 2026. The same source said Royal Bank Of Canada lifted its target to $115.00 from $110.00 on July 30, 2026, and MarketBeat's consensus target stands at $110.30.

That backdrop matters because Starbucks set FY 2026 guidance at 2.550-2.650 EPS, compared with the $0.85 EPS it reported for the fiscal third quarter and the $0.66 consensus estimate it beat by $0.19. Revenue in that quarter came in at $9.32 billion, above the $9.17 billion estimate.

Valuation remains heavy

According to GuruFocus, Starbucks shares closed at $99.12 on September 14, 2026, after a six-day losing streak that had trimmed the stock by nearly 7 percent. The same report put the dividend yield at 2.53 percent and the payout ratio at 102 percent, while its GF Value estimate of $97.94 implied the stock was 1.2 percent overvalued.

For investors, the key number is the gap between price and targets: the latest MarketBeat consensus target of $110.30 sits 11.3 percent above the September 14 close of $99.12, while Deutsche Bank's $126.00 target is 27.1 percent higher. The market is also weighing Starbucks' 72.29 percent institutional ownership and the 1.36 percent stake disclosed by Bank of America Corp DE.
