Doh! Starbucks Stock Down? Cramer Says 'Eat My Shorts,' Niccol's Got This!

Mmm Stock Dip...Buying Opportunity!

Woohoo! So like Starbucks had a rough patch kinda like when I try to make donuts and end up setting the kitchen on fire. Shares took a nosedive 7%... D'oh! But that Jim Cramer guy? He's not sweatin' it! He's all like 'Don't have a cow man!' He's sticking with the stock and this Brian Niccol dude the CEO. Only been on the job like uh 7 and a half months which is about how long it takes me to finish a box of donuts. He thinks it's a 'buying opportunity.' Mmm buying... kinda like donuts. But he’s restricted from buying now because of some complicated rules. I dunno sounds boring. More importantly is there free coffee at these meetings?

Niccol's Got Skills (and Probably Donuts)

Apparently this Niccol guy is some kinda genius. Jim Cramer's practically drooling over him calling him 'the best there is!' Sounds like my kinda guy… does he like Duff? Seems like Niccol inherited a mess like when Bart replaces all the sugar with salt. But Cramer thinks Niccol's got a plan and this stock dip is just a 'little setback.' Maybe he can turn it around faster than I can eat a whole pizza. Which is fast.

Chipotle? Taco Bell? What's Next Krusty Burger?

Cramer keeps yammering about how Niccol turned Chipotle around after everyone was getting sick like when I accidentally served expired hot dogs at the picnic. And Taco Bell too! He can revive brands faster than Lisa can lecture me on proper nutrition! But Starbucks that's a whole different beast. It's like trying to teach Santa's Little Helper algebra. Still Cramer's betting on him. 'Excellent!'

No Price Hikes? Free Almond Milk? This is Getting Interesting!

Niccol says earnings might be lagging behind a bit but is focused on improving customer experience. More staff = faster service. That sounds good. No more long lines when I'm desperately needing a caffeine fix! And get this: NO PRICE HIKES this year! And they are getting rid of charges for alternative dairy like coconut and almond milk! Wow maybe Lisa will finally drink coffee with me. This is indeed 'Excellent!'

China Rewards and the Future...Mmm Future...

So this Niccol guy's got big plans. New food new drinks better app and a revamped rewards program in 2026? Woohoo! He says Starbucks is gonna be the 'global iconic brand that it is.' Sounds fancy! And they're sticking with China even with all the trade war stuff. He said the Chinese market is coming back which is a good thing since Chinese food is my favorite! I hope they have donuts in the future. Mmm futuristic donuts...

Cramer's Got Skin in the Game (and Probably a Donut)

Turns out Cramer's charitable trust has stock in Starbucks. Which means if Starbucks does well he does well. Which means I should probably start paying attention. Maybe I should buy some stock! Or maybe just buy more donuts. Decisions decisions...
