Starbucks shares have risen to $102.28, close to their 52-week high of $108.25, driven by a strong Q2 fiscal 2026 report showing improved earnings, revenue growth, and transaction strength in North America. The company’s turnaround plan under CEO Brian Niccol is reflected in better-than-expected results and raised guidance, but the stock’s valuation is high with limited upside potential. Analysts recommend holding the stock, awaiting confirmation of sustained 7%+ comparable sales growth in North America and margin recovery before upgrading to a buy. The 2.6% dividend yield and insider buying support patience, while risks include margin pressure and China market uncertainty.
