On April 30, 2024, investors began to question the veracity of Starbucks' public statements following its press release announcing its second quarter fiscal 2024 earnings and the accompanying same-day earnings call. In that announcement, the Company reported disappointing second quarter 2024 results, stating that store sales declined globally 4%, with traffic falling 7%, and further disclosed a 2% decline in new revenues to $8.6 billion. On the back of these results, Starbucks additionally lowered their guidance for the full year 2024, citing global declines in store sales, net revenues, and both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings. The Company attributed its results and lowered guidance on the issues Starbucks was facing in China, with CFO Ruggeri stating, in reference to the Chinese market, "we still see the effects of a slower-than-expected recovery, and we see fierce competition among value players in the market." On this news, the price of Starbucks shares declined by $14.05, from $88.49 per share on April 30, 2024, to close at $74.44 per share on May 1, 2024.
