Starbucks' Q3 Earnings Top Amid Coronavirus Crisis: ETFs to Gain
Read MoreHide Full Article
Starbucks Corporation (SBUX - Free Report) released third-quarter fiscal 2020 results, after market close on Jul 28. The company’s earnings and revenues topped estimates but sharply declined year over year. Notably, shares of Starbucks have gained 3.7% since the earnings release as investors cheered the encouraging results.
Earnings in Focus
Starbucks reported adjusted loss of 46 cents per share compared with the consensus mark of a loss per share of 61 cents. In the prior-year quarter, the company had reported adjusted earnings per share of 78 cents. Revenues also declined nearly 38.1% year over year to nearly $4.22 billion but outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.11 billion. Starbucks also informed that due to the coronavirus pandemic, it lost nearly $3.1 billion in consolidated revenues. The downside was primarily caused by store closures, limited sales channels, reduced operating hours and dismal customer traffic.
Meanwhile, the coffee giant is gaining from robust drive-thru and deliver options. Mobile ordering in the third quarter rose 6 percentage points from a year ago and accounted for 22% of total transactions.
Business Update
Starbucks opened 130 net stores worldwide, taking the total tally to 32,180. Global store growth was 5% on a year-over-year basis.
Meanwhile, global comparable store sales fell 40%. Global comps declined due to a 51% decrease in comparable transactions, marginally offset by a 23% increase in average ticket.
The company’s Active Starbucks Rewards loyalty program contracted to 16.3 million active members in the United States, down 5% on a year-over-year basis. Temporary store closures along with other coronavirus pandemic effects led to a decline in customer frequency which caused the downside in the active members under the loyalty program.
