Starbucks Corporation Delivers Record Earnings, but 1 Important Metric Is Getting All the Attention


The global coffee giant continues to deliver solid growth, but comparable sales in U.S. stores aren't growing as fast as management expected.

Let's take a closer look at what's happening with Starbucks' business results, and what management says to expect going forward.
