Shares of coffeehouse chain Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) fell 10.2% in the pre-market session after the company reported disappointing first-quarter 2025 results as its revenue, EPS, and EBITDA fell short of Wall Street's estimates. The key highlight for the quarter was the drop in global same-store sales, with North America dragging results down due to a 4% decline in transactions despite a higher average spend per order. This dip in volume led to flat sales in the U.S. and a mere 2% growth globally, with the modest revenue gain largely driven by the opening of 213 new stores rather than demand at existing ones. Overall, this was a softer quarter.
