🫧 Edgar looked up Starbucks Corporation ($SBUX). Last filing: 8-K (2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities), 2026-09-24. 12 event filings (8-K) in the past twelve months.

🔖 Exposure: revenue $37.2B (FY2025), total debt $16.1B. Experience: revenue up 2.8% on the year, up 6.4% a year over 4 years; operating margin 7.9%, down from 15.0%. Soundness: equity -25.3% of assets (liabilities exceed assets), payout 149.3% of profit, dividend per share up 3 years running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $34.4B and $40.5B next year (method v4.1: its own 4-year record of growth weighed at 50% against $10B+ filers; on a year the method never saw, 83.4% landed inside). In a shock year the stress range is $32.0B to $43.3B. A range, not a forecast. Against peers (8 filers, $50M+ revenue, retail-eating & drinking places): operating margin 7.9% against a 6.1% median.
