Shares of the company rose more than 1% in extended trading.<\/p>\n<p>However, global comparable sales rose 3% in the fiscal third quarter ended July 3, compared with analysts\u2019 average estimate for a 3.76% rise, according to Refinitiv IBES. <\/p>\n<p>A fresh round of lockdowns in Shanghai and a resurgence of COVID-19 in Beijing and other Chinese cities had forced Starbucks stores to shut seating areas, allowing the company to offer only deliveries or mobile orders for most of the quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Comparable sales in China, Starbucks\u2019 fastest-growing market, slumped 44% in the third quarter, bruising its international business.<\/p>\n<p>Higher costs for ingredients and enhanced benefits for some U.S. employees ate in to operating margins, which fell by 400 basis points to 15.9%. Same-store sales grew 9% in North America.<\/p>\n<p>As it fends off an organizing drive that has prompted workers at 200 stores to vote to unionize since last year, interim Chief Executive Officer Howard Schultz said in April that the company would boost benefits and wages \u2013 but only for workers in non-unionized stores \u2013 starting this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have clear line of sight on what we need to do to reinvent the company,\u201d Schultz said in an earnings release. \u201cThe Q3 results we announced today demonstrate the early progress we have made in just four short months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Total net revenue rose to $8.15 billion from $7.5 billion a year earlier, edging past analysts\u2019 average estimate of $8.11 billion. <\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Deborah Sophia in Bengaluru and Hilary Russ in New YorkEditing by Maju Samuel and Matthew Lewis)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2733333\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI710Y6-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI710Y6-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Deborah Mary Sophia and Hilary Russ (Reuters) -Starbucks Corp beat Wall Street estimates for quarterly profit on Tuesday as higher prices and strong demand for its coffees in the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1585497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1585497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1585497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1585497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1585497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1585497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1585497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
