Wells Fargo maintains a 'Market Perform' on Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) price target range $51-$53.
Analyst, Bonnie Herzog, commented on a new AOC Nielsen Data Release which showed the K-Cups' share of ground coffee category lost a little ground over a four week period (ending June 9). Dollar penetration was 21.1% compared to 21.5% last period. However K-cups outpaced the category as a whole, with dollar sales up 114.3% year-over-year vs. category 15.1%. Starbucks reached another record high of 16.1% (vs. 15.7% last month) and SBUX's unit price was $3 more. Herzog believes SBUX K-Cup share gains are largely at the expense of Green Mountain (Nasdaq: GMCR) brands.
Despite the continued favorable data reports, Herzog maintains a 'Market Perform' on SBUX, citing 2012 as a transitional year for SBUX and believe the stock is fairly valued. She continues to review three key areas of execution including: 1) Strong U.S. same-store sales; 2) International expansion; and 3) Building consumer packaged goods business.
