Starbucks, with a market cap of $116.6 billion, faces weak same-store sales trends, an estimated 2.6% sales decline over the next 12 months, and a 4.9 percentage point drop in operating margin. Yum China, valued at $15.06 billion, struggles with lagging same-store sales, projected sales growth of just 5.4%, and a gross margin of 20.3%. Kura Sushi, at a $563.9 million market cap, contends with declining same-store sales, cash burn, and limited cash reserves that could lead to shareholder dilution.
