Why Are Starbucks Shares Trading Higher Today?
Shares of Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) are trading higher on Friday following a WSJ report suggesting Elliott Investment Management has taken a significant stake in the coffee giant.
據《華爾街日報》報道，星巴克公司（納斯達克股票代碼：SBUX）的股票週五上漲，因爲艾略特投資管理公司據稱已經持有這家咖啡巨頭的重要股份。
What's Going On: Elliott has reportedly been pushing for changes behind the scenes, aiming to address the challenges Starbucks faces. While the exact size of Elliott's stake and specific demands remain undisclosed, the discussions suggest potential agreements may be reached soon according to The Wall Street Journal.

Earlier this year, Starbucks reported weaker-than-expected quarterly sales and profit last quarter, attributing the slowdown to heightened promotional activities and rising staff wages. For the company's upcoming third-quarter earnings report on July 30, analysts estimate EPS of 94 cents and revenue to be $9.24 billion.
