"One year after appearing on South Park, the median stock underperforms the S&P 500 by 7%," Spectra Markets said. South Park: The End of Obesity special released last week tackled the growing popularity of Ozempic and Mounjaro as Eric Cartman tries to get his hands on the hugely popular weight-loss drugs. Advertisement"One year after appearing on South Park, the median stock underperforms the S&P 500 by 7%," Spectra Markets President Brent Donnelly said. "South Park has a 20+ year history of capturing the cultural zeitgeist and it's impossible to argue that anything that is lampooned on South Park is not priced in," Donnelly said. But not all those featured on South Park saw their stock prices peak shortly thereafter, with Microsoft, Yelp, and Netflix bucking the trend.

It is affiliated to Service Employees International Union, which owns a small Starbucks stake and is part of the Strategic Organizing Center, the Wall Street Journal reported.

REUTERS/Carlo Allegri/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsCompanies Starbucks Corp FollowNov 13 (Reuters) - The Workers United union said on Monday that thousands of employees at hundreds of Starbucks (SBUX.O) stores will walk out on the coffee chain's key Red Cup day promotional event this week, citing staffing and scheduling issues. Starbucks hands out free reusable holiday-themed cups with coffee purchases on the popular promotional event Red Cup day, which falls on Thursday this week, in the midst of the key holiday season. The Workers United in a statement said that Red Cup day is "one of the most infamously hard, understaffed days for the baristas" at Starbucks, and called on baristas and supervisors at all Starbucks stores to walk out on Nov. 16. The union had called for protests at more than 100 Starbucks stores at Red Cup day last year. Workers United represents more than 360 unionized stores and more than 9,000 Starbucks employees, according to the union's website.

REUTERS/Lucas Jackson/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsCompanies Starbucks Corp FollowNEW YORK, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Starbucks (SBUX.O) was ordered by a federal judge on Monday to face a lawsuit claiming that several of its Refresher fruit beverages lacked a key ingredient: fruit. Consumers complained that Starbucks' Mango Dragonfruit, Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade, Pineapple Passionfruit, Pineapple Passionfruit Lemonade, Strawberry Açai and Strawberry Açai Lemonade Refreshers contained none of the advertised mango, passion fruit or açai. The judge dismissed a fraud claim, finding no proof Starbucks intended to defraud consumers, and an unjust enrichment claim. Starbucks in a statement called the allegations in the lawsuit "inaccurate and without merit," and said it looked forward to defending itself. The case is Kominis et al v Starbucks Corp, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No.

REUTERS/Carlo Allegri/File PhotoCompanies Starbucks Corp FollowAug 11 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Friday dismissed a conservative activist investor's lawsuit against Starbucks' (SBUX.O) board, opposing the company's diversity, equity and inclusion policies and calling it frivolous. The nonprofit, which holds around $6,000 in Starbucks stock, said those policies require the company to make race-baced decisions that violate federal and state civil rights laws. The lawsuit is similar to those recently by conservative activist groups opposing corporate diversity and inclusion efforts in the wake of a June Supreme Court ruling. The ruling declared unlawful the race-conscious student admissions policies used by Harvard University and the University of North Carolina. On Friday, Daniel Morenoff of The American Civil Rights Project argued that Starbucks policies seeking to increase racial diversity among its suppliers, vendors, and employees were discriminatory and that NCPPR's cause was in the corporate interest.

REUTERS/Mike Blake/File PhotoCompanies Starbucks Corp FollowAug 8 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday rejected Starbucks Corp's (SBUX.O) challenge to a ruling requiring the coffee chain to rehire seven employees at a Memphis, Tennessee, store who were allegedly fired for supporting a union. Circuit Court of Appeals is the first from an appeals court involving a nationwide campaign that has seen workers at more than 300 Starbucks locations vote to unionize. "Fear of retaliation will exist unless the Memphis Seven, apparently terminated for their union support, are reinstated," Circuit Judge Danny Boggs wrote for the court. Starbucks and the labor board, which had sought the order reinstating the workers, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. More than 600 complaints have been filed with the labor board accusing Starbucks of illegal labor practices such as firing union supporters, spying on workers and closing stores during labor campaigns.

Companies Starbucks Corp FollowJune 26 (Reuters) - Starbucks (SBUX.O) plans to issue "clearer" centralized guidelines for in-store visual displays following a union's allegations that managers banned Pride-themed decor, the coffee chain said in an internal memo to employees. "We intend to issue clearer centralized guidelines... for in-store visual displays and decorations that will continue to represent inclusivity and our brand," Starbucks North America President Sara Trilling said in the memo. The memo comes after the union representing the coffee chain's baristas alleged that managers at dozens of Starbucks locations had prevented employees from putting up Pride Month flags and decorations, or had removed them. More than 3,000 workers at over 150 Starbucks stores in the United States will walk off the job, the union said on Friday. Starbucks also filed two complaints against Workers United with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on Monday, alleging that the union made misleading claims on the company's in-store decoration guidelines and gender-affirming care benefits.

About a dozen Starbucks workers picketed outside New York's Astor Place location in lower Manhattan on Sunday afternoon near the route of the city's Pride parade, chanting: "New York is a union town!

[1/5] Customers stand next to a counter at a Starbucks' outlet at a market in New Delhi, India, May 30, 2023. Starbucks plans to open more stores in smaller towns, said an industry source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Soon after Starbucks' May launch of $3.33 milkshakes, designed to attract children, Third Wave launched its own range, a fifth cheaper at $2.71. He saw Starbucks' cheaper, small-sized drinks as a response to competition in "an incredibly price-sensitive market". "Going deeper into smaller cities, beyond the metros, is the only way to grow," said Ankur Bisen, head of retail at India's Technopak Advisors.
