Similarly, Cotti Cofee, a company that was started a few years ago, has already grown into 6,505 stores in the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The rising competition from local brands is a major threat for the company because of its market share and margins. Most of these competitors have thrived because of their prices, which are often significantly cheaper than Starbucks.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, in a recent report, Caixin wrote that Starbucks officials were considering <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2025\/06\/24\/starbucks-denies-plans-to-fully-exit-china-operations-amid-rising-local-competition\/\">exiting the Chinese market<\/a>. While Starbucks has denied the report, such a move cannot be ruled out in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese coffee companies are also a threat in other countries, where they want to replicate the Chinese model. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2025\/07\/01\/luckin-coffee-stock-rare-pattern-points-to-a-surge-after-us-expansion\/\">Luckin Coffee launched two restaurants<\/a> in New York this week, and the reception was relatively strong.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The success of the New York business will likely lead to more store launches in other states. It will also push Luckin to experiment in other cities where Starbucks has a major market share.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slow growth to persist<\/h2>\n<p>The most recent results showed that Starbucks&#8217; business continued its slowdown in the second quarter. Its global comparable store sales dropped by 1%.<\/p>\n<p>This decline was mostly because of its American business, where its comparable sales fell by 1% and offset by the international division that grew by 2%.<\/p>\n<p>The North America revenue rose by 1% to $6.4 billion, while its operating margin crashed by 640 basis points to 11.6%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Store count in the international market rose by 6% to 22,162, while its net revenue jumped to over $1.8 billion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Starbucks withdrew its forward guidance. However, analysts expect that the company\u2019s growth will remain under pressure this year. The average estimate is that its revenue will rise by 2% in Q3 to $9.3 billion, while the annual one will hit $36.9 billion.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starbucks stock price analysis<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image inv-component-break-container size-large\"><\/figure>\n<p>SBUX stock chart | Source: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/NASDAQ-SBUX\/\">TradingView<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The daily chart shows that the SBUX share price has remained under pressure in the past few days.
