The advantages and strengths of Starbucks stock as a stock market asset :

Firstly, one of Starbucks' most important assets is undoubtedly its brand image. The brand has succeeded in making itself popular all over the world and is now one of the best known brands internationally, which is of course an advantage in making it easier for the brand to establish itself wherever it wants to.

In addition, the Starbucks Group's customer base continues to grow year after year. The customers recruited in this way are then quickly retained and the group benefits from greater stability in its business over time.

Since Starbucks is, as you will have understood, primarily based on an international expansion strategy, it can of course count on a very extensive supply chain around the world. This, of course, helps to effectively support its operations. The company's suppliers are thus carefully selected and well distributed geographically, allowing for fast and regular supply and control of transport costs.

Starbucks' strategy of diversifying its activities with the acquisition or development of subsidiaries such as Ethos Water or Best Coffee is another undeniable asset of the group. This diversification in the company's activities enables it to reduce the market and industry risks of its core business.

Disadvantages and weak points of the Starbucks share as a stock market asset :

Firstly, Starbucks' high price policy can be cited as an important weakness. These high prices increase the company's margins but at the same time reduce the affordability of their products. As a result, the company's market shares are limited, and Starbucks actually reaches only a very small portion of the customer base in this industry.

The fact that Starbucks uses standardized and generalized protocols for the manufacture of its products may prove to be a definite handicap for its future development. Starbucks may have difficulty establishing a presence in certain countries and geographic areas because of an inability to align itself with the cultural references of those markets.

While Starbucks has made its name through original products, these are not protected by patents and can therefore be very easily imitated. The group's local competitors therefore take advantage of this to offer equivalent products at a lower cost, which represents a significant loss of market share for the American company. Some of Starbucks' competitors even go so far as to copy the atmosphere of the chain's cafés to attract more consumers. Some directly competing chains are beginning to expand around the world.
