They add, “we gain confidence in SBUX’s US sales and overall margin potential, which should continue creating upside opportunities for estimates over next 12+ months.”

The biggest takeaway BMO has from Starbucks earnings is that their US momentum will continue into the year end. This quarter their US growth accelerated 4% and fourth quarter guidance implies another 2%.
