Citi analyst Gregory Badishkanian says his survey of over 300 Chinese coffee market consumers indicated the consumers are "generally indifferent" about purchasing American goods versus 12 months ago. This suggests relatively little impact to Starbucks (SBUX) from the recent geopolitical disputes, Badishkanian tells investors in a research note. Further, the survey shows Starbucks is leading on taste while competitors are leading on price, adds the analyst.
