Bottom line It wasn't a bad quarter from Starbucks but with expectations low headed into the print, we wanted to see more.
We also remain believers in the unrivaled name recognition of the Starbucks brand, which ended the quarter with a record 90-day active-user base of 31.4 million in the U.S., up 15% from last year.
But the main focus for investors was on China, Starbucks' biggest market after the U.S.
Revenues increased 51% from last year, to $821.9 million, with comparable stores sales up 46%.
