Starbucks sells coffee, espresso drinks, tea, cold beverages, bakery items, breakfast sandwiches, and packaged coffee products. It runs company-owned stores and also licenses many locations to other operators, including shops in airports, grocery stores, and other high-traffic places. Customers are everyday coffee drinkers, commuters, students, and office workers who want a quick drink, snack, or place to stop in.
The company makes money mainly from selling drinks and food in its stores, plus from licensed stores, packaged coffee, ready-to-drink beverages, and branded products sold through grocery and other retail channels. Its business depends on getting people to come back often for routine purchases, which makes it more like a daily habit business than a one-time product seller. Starbucks also earns money by selling coffee beans and related products to retailers and food-service partners.
What makes Starbucks different is that it sits between a restaurant chain and a consumer brand. Its cafés are the main storefront, but its brand also lives in grocery aisles, convenience stores, and bottled drinks made with partners. That gives Starbucks multiple ways to reach customers while keeping coffee, customization, and store experience at the center of the business.
Starbucks runs its own cafés and drive-thrus, where it sells espresso drinks, coffee, tea, cold beverages, food, and merchandise directly to customers.

We rebuilt our DCF valuation models from the ground up and upgraded how Intrinsic Value is calculated. Alpha Spread now selects the method that best fits each company.
You can now see how the new methodology performed across thousands of stocks on our new Valuation Backtest page. We update the results at the end of every month.
Stock intrinsic value is the real worth of a company's stock, based on its financial health and performance.
Instead of looking at the stock's current market price, which can change due to people's opinions and emotions, intrinsic value helps us understand if a stock is truly a good deal or not.
By focusing on the company's actual financial strength, like its earnings and debts, we can make better decisions about which stocks to buy and when.
