DA Davidson Reiterates Neutral Rating on Starbucks (SBUX)

October 9, 2026 9:43 AM

DA Davidson analyst Matt Curtis reiterated a Neutral rating and $110.00 price target on Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX).

The analyst commented, "Starbucks has reportedly explored a takeover of Chipotle, according to the Financial Times, a transaction that would certainly be transformational for both. Despite little obvious overlap in terms of supply chain and other areas, there is some strategic rationale for such a deal, namely another growth lever for SBUX and access to infrastructure/expertise for CMG. That said, we still view the odds of a deal being completed as relatively low (~20%)."
