In This Article:

Starbucks (SBUX) missed fiscal fourth quarter earnings estimates as profits declined 25% year-over-year and global same-store sales fell 7%, higher than Wall Street was anticipating. The coffee chain posted revenue of $9.1 billion (against estimates for $9.33 billion) and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.80 (against estimates for $1.00).

Starbucks released preliminary earnings figures last week that teased the sales headwinds in US and China stores.
