Operating margins expanded 180 basis points to 8.7%.&nbsp;“Our second quarter marked the turn in our turnaround as our Back to Starbucks plan drove both top and bottom line growth,” said Brian Niccol, chairman and CEO.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SBUX">Starbucks’ stock</a> inched 0.05% higher in Friday’s premarket.&nbsp;On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the stock remained in ‘extremely bullish’ territory.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_05_01_050641_png_ae43fa19ab.webp" alt="SBUX’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 04:00 a.m. ET on May. 1, 2026 | Source: Stocktwits" width="929" height="100"><figcaption>SBUX’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 04:00 a.m. ET on May. 1, 2026 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><h2 class="st-heading-2">Traffic Growth Drives SBUX’s Core Recovery</h2>Customer activity proved to be the main engine of growth, with U.S. comparable transactions rising 4.3% YoY and overall North American sales increasing 7.1% YoY.

It is also cutting down the menu, improving store efficiency, and bringing back a more traditional café experience.&nbsp;Starbucks’ 25% surge so far this year has left its peers like McDonald's (MCD) and &nbsp; Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) behind.
