Telsey Advisory analyst Robert Derrington initiated Starbucks with an Outperform and a $66 price target saying he views shares as a best in class large cap growth story with an attractive valuation. The analyst believes the recent discounted valuation reflects some concerns about recent perceived softer same-store-sales trends and earnings growth to be toward the 5 year low. Derrington expects valuation to improve as operating trends solidify, and said shares are supported by its 2% dividend yield.
