Starbucks Slumps 0.24% as Supply Chain and Retail Woes Push Stock to 180th in U.S. Dollar Turnover

On October 1, 2025, Starbucks (SBUX) closed with a 0.24% decline, trading on $690 million in volume—ranking 180th among U.S. stocks by dollar turnover. The move followed mixed retail performance reports and ongoing supply chain challenges affecting store operations in key markets. Analysts noted that the stock’s weak performance contrasted with broader market resilience, as consumer discretionary sectors showed divergent momentum.

Recent operational updates highlighted a slowdown in same-store sales growth in North America, with third-quarter results undershadowed by unseasonably warm weather and delayed product launches. Supply chain disruptions, particularly in coffee bean procurement, further pressured margins. While the company reiterated its long-term growth strategy, short-term volatility remained tied to inventory management and regional demand fluctuations.

To implement a daily-rebalanced “Top-500-by-volume” strategy requires defining the eligible universe and trade-execution parameters. Options include using S&P 500 constituents, Russell 3000 components, or a custom ticker list. Execution conventions—such as open/close pricing, cost structures, and risk controls—must also be finalized. Once confirmed, the back-test framework can be activated to generate performance metrics based on historical data.
