EVP Kelly Sara sells 19,102 SBUX shares for $1.9M at $101.37; retains 46,114 shares post-sale
Kelly Sara, Chief Partner Officer at Starbucks, executed a sale of 19,102 shares for $1,936,369.74 at $101.37, reducing her holdings by 29.3% to 46,114 shares remaining. The sale occurs near the 52-week high of $102.50 and coincides with a +2.7% 30-day price advance and +10.0% 90-day gain, reflecting an upward momentum phase. The company's valuation metrics show a P/E of 31.06 against minimal recent revenue growth of +0.6% year-over-year, alongside solid quarterly net income of $1.1B from $9.1B in revenue. The scale and timing of this reduction—removing nearly one-third of a significant stake while the stock trades in the upper end of its range—warrants investor awareness of changes in executive positioning, particularly given the CEO's recent earnings guidance and guidance track record at the company.
