Strong Sales Gains for Starbucks, Growing Stores and Traffic, and Dividend Hike
Published:
Last Updated:
Thomson Reuters was calling for $0.45 in earnings per share and revenue of $3.39 billion.
Guidance for the full year of 2013 came in at $2.06 to $2.15 per share, but the estimate we saw was $2.13 per share. In the coming year Starbucks is opening close to 1,200 new stores. A dividend hike of about 24% is not hurting the stock either. That will put its dividend up above 1.8%.
Starbucks shares rose by 1.5% to $46.62 on the day and shares are currently up close to 6% at $49.36 in the after-hours trading session.
