Movement Alert|Starbucks Falls 3.12% in Regular Trading, Weighed by AI Tool Withdrawal and Korea Sales Setback

Market Focus06-01 23:06

On June 1, Starbucks declined 3.12% in regular trading, trading at $96.05/share, with trading volume of $197 million. The stock continues to face pressure amid multiple operational headwinds across key markets.

On the news front, Starbucks recently halted its AI-powered inventory management tool across all 11,000 company-operated North American stores, just nine months after launch. The system, developed by NomadGo, was designed to allow employees to photograph shelves and automatically generate restocking orders, but has now been fully withdrawn. Additionally, Starbucks Korea faced a significant sales decline following a promotional activity, prompting a public apology from the company and the emergency dismissal of a responsible executive by its operating partner, which pledged full cooperation with government investigations.

Within the Restaurants sector, broader weakness was evident. McDonald's fell 1.57%, Chipotle Mexican Grill declined 2.15%, and Yum dropped 0.62%, while DoorDash rose 1.65% and Domino's Pizza gained 0.87%. Starbucks last reported earnings on April 28, posting EPS of $0.50.
