At the current level, SBUX is a good option for growth investors that expect significant upside to current consensus
forecasts -- because we do think there is some chance of this occurring. SBUX is also currently a good stock idea for high
turnover portfolios driven by constantly updated relative value decisions, such as the Ascendere Long/Short Model
Portfolio. But given our preference for highlighting stock ideas that show good value against sustained operating
momentum, we would prefer portfolio managers wait for a better price, closer to $17-19, or at most at 15.2x the
consensus FY2011 EPS estimate. Such a purchase price would allow participation in a possible resurgent growth story
without being aggressive.
Our target 1yr value is $23, which is below the consensus average target of $25 and derived from a scenario analysis
indicating a realistic valuation range of $9-46. For the stock price to reach near the high end of our range, we think the
company would have to generate EPS approaching $1.70 in fiscal 2011 and show accelerating growth beyond. In
contrast, the consensus EPS estimate for FY2011 is $1.25 and the consensus high is $1.41. While these optimistic
scenarios are aggressive, they are also plausible under perfect conditions.

But March 2009 results marked the turning point. The cumulative effect of new initiatives focused on controlling operating
costs, improving operating efficiency, strengthening connections among customers and the closure of 900 stores and the
announced lay off of 7000 employees and attrition of thousands more have translated into significant operating momentum
which seems likely to continue through 2010 and perhaps beyond.
“This was a very satisfying quarter by any standard and follows three successive quarters of continued improvement in our
business. Our U.S.-company operated stores reached a significant milestone in Q1 as all regions reported positive comp growth
and our U.S.-licensed stores also delivered strong results. As in prior quarters, our business this quarter benefited mightily from
continued innovation from the success of our company wide efforts to improve customer experience from our continued laser
focus on controlling operating costs and improving operating efficiency and from the impact of decisive actions we took early in
2008.”
Given the significant operating improvements seen thus far, maybe it is not a surprise the stock has seen a 165% rally from a
March 2009 low of $8.27 to a recent close of $21.91, outperforming the S&P 500 return of 56% and the S&P Discretionary SPDR
(XLY) return of 78% over the same period. If estimates are revised further upward, there could be more room for SBUX to move.
Starbucks believes China will become its largest market outside of the U.S. If Starbucks can drive revenue in China and other
international locations to one-half to two-thirds of the level of growth experienced in its early growth phase in the United States,
there could be significant upside to consensus revenue and earnings growth forecasts.
On a relative EV/EBITDA basis, SBUX trades at a slight discount to a peer average, and on a PE basis it is at a premium. Given its
high growth prospects and ROIC profile, these multiples are justifiable and actually offer a slightly better adjusted value at this
snapshot in time -- but they do not point to an overwhelming bargain.
Scenario analysis
We have chosen 4 different scenarios in which to value Starbucks. Numerous underlying factors can be summarized in the long-
term earnings growth rates on a 10% WACC and 2.5% terminal growth rate -- 21%, 18%, 8% and negative 3%. A more aggressive
9% WACC and 3% terminal growth rate may be justifiable, and could positively impact our range of targets by about $1-10.
The most realistic but conservative assumption in our opinion is the 8% growth scenario, which suggests the stock
deserves to trade at only about 17x the consensus NTM EPS estimate of about $1.12 or at about $19 one year from now.

But If SBUX can beat and raise estimates throughout the next two years and get on track to close to 18% earnings
growth on average for the next 5 years and moving higher beyond that, perhaps the stock should be more appropriately
valued at $30, or about 18x an above-consensus-high FY2012 EPS estimate of $1.70. We are comfortable with these
assumptions for this particular scenario because we think they reflect the possibility of continued operating momentum
and a growing penchant for China and other countries to embrace a number of American brands.
A $46 stock price target is justifiable under the right conditions, though a bit farfetched at the moment. Such a target
would have to assume flawless execution, faster than anticipated international expansion and a rebound in the global
economies so that the company could resume a growth rate seen 5 to 10 years ago. True believers would have to justify
a target earnings growth rate of 21% compounding to $2.80 by FY2015 and accelerating at a higher rate beyond.
If Starbucks runs into additional problems or the economies falter again so that earnings essentially decline 3% on
average over the next few years, a fundamentally justifiable target could be $9 today.
Simple Microsoft Excel models for SBUX revenue growth and operating margin assumptions that we used to help generate
realistic scenarios for optimistic earnings growth are available at our website www.ascenderellc.com.
The current stock price embeds assumptions for continued operating momentum that can drive consensus estimates higher.
While that is possible, we recommend waiting for a pullback to the $17-19 level before purchasing this stock. Using a most likely
possible target range of $17 to $30 by next year does not provide an overwhelmingly compelling risk/reward with the stock at
$22. However, for the portfolio manager that is required to purchase a Consumer Discretionary stock immediately, or is
managing a portfolio with high turnover in which decisions can be quickly adjusted (such as the Ascendere Long/Short Model
Portfolio), SBUX in our opinion is the best idea at the moment.
Our current estimated stock price target for SBUX is $23, which is outlined in the table below.
We are aware of our seemingly contradictory recommendation -- that on a relative basis SBUX is slightly more attractive but on
a standalone basis is less so. This raises two basic questions though with very large implications: Is the entire Discretionary
sector is embedding overly optimistic assumptions on a global economic recovery? Or will SBUX in retrospect confirm our past
observations that in general sell side analyst estimates lag the market rather than anticipate it? It is probably a little bit of both.
