Starbucks Q4 revenue falls short of expectations amid weak international demand

Starbucks reported fourth‑quarter revenue of $9.14 billion, missing the $9.2 billion consensus estimate. Global same‑store sales grew 7.2%, led by a 7.7% increase in the United States, while international traffic declined 2.8%. The company said the shortfall was driven by softer demand outside the U.S. and a 4% year‑over‑year revenue decline.

The revenue miss may pressure Starbucks' share price and could lead analysts to adjust their forecasts for future quarters. The company’s statement signals that international markets remain a headwind for growth.
