1. Details of the company ­ Starbucks 

1.1 History of Starbucks 

Starbucks Corporation, an American global coffee company and coffeehouse chain based in                       Seattle, Washington was founded in the year 1971. Founders Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl and                           Gordon Bowker from the University of San Francisco had drawn the theme of their new coffee                               company from the nautical mythology and later picked a name out of Herman Melville’s                           Moby­Dick, Starbucks, the name which people are familiar with these days.    In 1971, Starbucks opened the first store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. A few years later, in                                 1982, Howard Schultz joined Starbucks as the director of retail operations and marketing and                           Starbucks began providing coffee to fine restaurants and espresso bars. In 1983, on a trip to Italy,                                 Schultz was impressed with the popularity of espresso bars in Milan. He saw the potential to                               develop a similar coffeehouse culture in the United States. However, he failed to convince                           Starbucks’ founders of the viability of a concept as novel as coffee bars in Seattle. He then left                                   the company in 1985.    The next year, Schultz opened a coffee bar of his own, named “Il Giornale” after one of the                                   Milan’s newspapers. Two years after that, he had successfully found enough local investors to                           purchase Starbucks outright, which put him in a position as the CEO of the firm. At the same                                   time, he changed the name to Starbucks Corporation and began his primary goal by adopting the                               concept of coffee bars in his operating store in Seattle. Over the years, he expanded the firm                                 throughout the United States, Canada and all over the world.   Starbucks’ greatest period of expansion began in the early 1990s. In spite of having opened                             money­losing branches in the US­midwest and British Columbia, it moved profitably into                       California in 1991, making its initial public offering on the stock market the following year.                             Starbucks continued to expand throughout the decade by opening on average two new stores                           every day. Until today, it is reported that Starbucks has a total number of 21,878 stores in 66                                   countries and territories, including 12,218 in theUnited States, 1,716 inChina, 1,330 inCanada,                             1,079 in Japan and 808 in the United Kingdom.

1.2 Recent Developments of Starbucks  Since 1971, Starbucks Corporation has been committed to ethically sourcing and roasting the                         highest­quality arabica coffee. Today, with stores around the globe, the company is the premier                           roaster and retailer of specialty coffee in the world.  In fiscal 2013, Starbucks has opened 1,701 net new stores across the globe and at the same time                                   having its first stores opened in India, Vietnam and Monaco, and later announced the plan to                               enter Colombia in 2014. Besides, Starbucks had hit a record of $14.9 billion in revenue and                               ranking as FORTUNE Magazine’s 5­digit shareholder returns.   In February 2014, Starbucks has marked its two significant milestones in Southeast Asia,                         opening its first store in Brunei and its 100th store in Singapore, marking its 15th market in the                                   Asia Pacific region and its 64th market globally. The company is on track to expand its footprint                                 by adding approximately 750 stores across China and Asia Pacific within the year 2014.   Later in March, Howard Schultz, chairman, president and CEO of Starbucks, together with                         Oprah Winfrey, the global media leader and philanthropist, had announced the collaboration to                         co­create Teavana Oprah Chai Tea which will be sold in Starbucks and Teavana stores across the                               U.S. and Canada. In addition, Starbucks will be making a donation for each product sold to the                                 Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation, which provides funding and educational                   opportunities for the youth.  This year, on the 6th of April, 2015, Starbucks had announced that through its partnership with                               Oprah Winfrey, the sales of Teavana Oprah Chai have raised more than $5 million for the youth                                 organizations in the U.S. and Canada. Apart from that, recently, Starbucks has also made a                             commitment to hire 10,000 young people who are not in school or are unemployed over the next                                 3 years, and at the same time making college education possible for thousands of employees                             through the Starbucks College Achievement Plan, which has 2,000 partners enrolled in the                         program, with a goal to graduate 25,000 partners by 2025.   Besides, Starbucks has also successfully verified 99% of its coffee as ethically sourced this year                             and meanwhile on the 16th of April, Starbucks is named as one of the “Best Workplaces in                                 Canada" for the fifth­consecutive year and at the same time being one of the highest ranking                               publicly­traded retailer on the list of top 50 large and multinational companies.

4. Price/Earning Ratio    Share price of Starbucks Corporation as at 1st of June in 2015 : $51.96 Earning per share of Starbucks Corporation as at 1st of June in 2015 : $1.70  P/E ratio = Current share price 

Earnings per share   (in number of times) =  $51.96 

   $1.70 = 30.56 times 

 Interpretation :   Based on calculation, the company’s price/earning ratio is 30.56 times. This means that the share price of the company is high and the investor will have to wait for a period of about 31 years to recoup his investment.

5. Investment Recommendation  Based on calculation, it is concluded that the business’s profitability was getting better over the                             period from 2013 to 2014. The Return on Equity (ROE), Net Profit Margin (NPM), Gross Profit                               Margin (GPM), Selling Expenses Ratio (SER) and General Expenses Ratio (GER) over the                         2013­2014 period have shown that the business is generating revenues and profit in which the                             owner is getting more return from his investment and the business’s ability in controlling its                             overall expenses are also getting better as compared to last year. However, there is an increase in                                 the Financial Expenses Ratio (FER) whereby the business’s ability in controlling its financial                         expenses is getting worse as compared to the year in 2013.    Besides, the stability ratios which includes the company’s working capital, total debt, inventory                         turnover and interest coverage are achieving a satisfactory result such that the business’s                         performance was getting better over the 2013­2014 period. However, there is an increase in the                             debtor turnover ratio in which the business is taking a longer time to collect its debt as compared                                   to last year.   On the other hand, the P/E ratio of Starbucks Corporation calculated based on the current share                               price and earning per share is 30.56 times. This means that if an investor were to purchase the                                   shares of Starbucks Corporation, he would have to wait for a period of about 31 years to recoup                                   his investment. Besides, a conservative investor would most probably purchase only a share with                           a P/E ratio of 15 times or below.  In conclusion, the Starbucks Corporation’s shares are not suitable for investment as the current                           share price is high such that it comes with a P/E ratio of more than 15 times. In other words, if a                                           person were to invest in the company’s shares, he or she will have to wait for a long time to                                       claim back his or her original principal. Hence, it would be wise not to invest in the company.
