In brief

What this company does

Starbucks purchases and roasts coffees, which it sells together with handcrafted coffee, tea and other beverages and food items through company-operated stores. It also sells coffee and tea products and licenses its trademarks through other channels, such as licensed stores and grocery and foodservice through the Global Coffee Alliance with Nestlé S.A. As of September 28, 2025 it employed approximately 381,000 people worldwide. The company has three reportable operating segments: North America, covering the U.S. and Canada; International, covering China, Japan, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean; and Channel Development. In fiscal 2025 those segments accounted for 74%, 21% and 5% of total net revenues, respectively. The North America and International segments both include company-operated and licensed stores. The Channel Development segment covers roasted whole bean and ground coffees, Starbucks-branded single-serve products, ready-to-drink beverages such as Frappuccino and Starbucks Doubleshot, foodservice products and other branded products sold outside the company-operated and licensed stores. Starbucks Corporation was formed in 1985.

Revenue compounded at +9.6% a year over the five years to FY2025 — but profit grew faster: net income at +14.9%, earnings per share at +15.6%.

The share count fell from 1.17B to 1.14B — the buyback concentrates the same profit into fewer slices.

Compound annual rates per period — left blank where that exact year isn't on file, the series crosses a loss, or (per-share rows) a split falls inside the window.

The 19-year record

19 fiscal years

Every figure from documents filed with the SEC · USD

EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
