SBUX 1D Chart DeclineStarbucks CorporationNASDAQ:SBUXpvikas71695Starbucks (SBUX) stock, as shown in the 1-day chart, has declined sharply due to a combination of operational challenges, weak earnings, and broader market pressures, making it a poor choice for swing trading. Q4 2025 results revealed a $230 million revenue miss and operating margins contracting to 2.9% from 18.7% the prior year, driven by store closures (over 600 in North America plus plans for 400 more underperforming U.S. locations), rising labor costs, and inflationary pressures from strategies like "Back to Starbucks." U.S. comparable sales fell 2%, with transaction volumes down nearly 4%, compounded by economic pressures on consumers, competition in China, and potential coffee tariff hikes under President Trump, leading to a 13.6% yearly drop that underperforms the S&P 500. For swing traders, the bearish technicals—including a 'death cross' with the 50-day moving average below the 200-day, negative MACD, and price near lower Bollinger Bands—signal continued downside risk and low reward potential amid eroded investor confidence.
