BUZZ - Reports suggest Starbucks had discussed a deal, Chipotle shares rise
路透社2026/10/08 18:16Latest Updates October 8 - Chipotle Mexican Grill shares (CMG.N) surged by as much as 8.55% to $33.40, while Starbucks (SBUX.O) shares once dropped 6.66% to $87.35. The Financial Times, citing insiders, reported that Starbucks (SBUX) had considered acquiring Chipotle (link). The coffee giant's stock has fallen to its lowest point since March. According to the report, the progress of the acquisition plan remains unclear; both Starbucks and Chipotle did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. If the deal goes through, CEO Brian Niccol would return to lead the Mexican grill chain he ran before joining the coffee giant two years ago. "For SBUX, we think investors would view this as a distraction for management's time and energy—after all, there is still much work to be done to revive the Starbucks brand, particularly concerning the fundamentals of same-store sales in North America, as the company gradually exhausts easily achievable growth points through 2027 and beyond," said RBC Capital Markets analyst Logan Reich. According to data from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), CMG has a market capitalization of about $39 billions, while SBUX is valued at $107 billions. As of the close of the last trading day, SBUX has risen about 11% year-to-date, while CMG has fallen by 17%.
