Starbucks (SBUX) officer Brady Brewer reported equity transactions. On 11/10/2025, 825.465 shares were withheld at $84.60 to cover taxes upon RSU vesting. On 11/11/2025, he reported acquisitions at no cost tied to equity awards: 7,951 shares from performance-based RSUs that vest on November 18, 2025, and a grant of 16,200 RSUs.

Starbucks announced a plan to form a joint venture with Boyu Capital, under which Boyu will acquire up to a 60% interest in Starbucks’ retail operations in China. Starbucks will retain a 40% interest and continue as the owner and licensor of the Starbucks global brand.
Starbucks expects the total value of its China retail business to exceed $13 billion. That figure reflects three components: proceeds from the sale of a controlling interest in the joint venture to Boyu Capital, the value of Starbucks’ retained interest in the joint venture, and the net present value of ongoing licensing economics payable to Starbucks over the next decade or more.
