<li>Luckin Coffee plans to expand to the U.S. and other markets following its first offshore move into Singapore, as competition remains stiff and demand weakens at home</li>
<li>The budget coffee chain&rsquo;s quarterly revenue exceeded 10 billion yuan for the first time in the three months to September, up 41% year-on-year</li>
</ul>
By Xiao Lin
&ldquo;Going out&rdquo; was and remains a mantra for Chinese businesses in search of new growth opportunities and relief from fierce competition at home. But the latter part of that equation, going out to escape competition, is quickly becoming yesterday&rsquo;s story as Chinese companies increasingly encounter their domestic rivals in overseas markets as well.
First it was smartphone makers, then bubble tea and electric vehicle makers. Now, coffee is shaping up as the next overseas battlefield for two of China&rsquo;s most aggressive chains,&nbsp;Luckin Coffee Inc.&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lkncy#OTC">LKNCY</a>) and&nbsp;Cotti Coffee, its clone of sorts that was founded by Luckin&rsquo;s original founding duo after being booted from Luckin due to an accounting scandal.
Cotti has ignited a relentless price war in China by selling most of its brews for just 9.9 yuan per cup, or about $1.26, prompting Luckin to join in with its own drinks at that price point. The resulting coffee war has hurt not only Luckin, but just about everyone else on China&rsquo;s vibrant coffee scene, including global giant&nbsp;Starbucks&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sbux#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>).
Despite losses from its first overseas exploration in Singapore, where it opened its first non-China location last year, Luckin said it is exploring opportunities in the U.S. and other markets, according to its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/10/30/2971569/0/en/Luckin-Coffee-Inc-Announces-Third-Quarter-2024-Financial-Results.html">latest quarterly results</a>&nbsp;announced last week. That came as it also reported strong revenue growth on aggressive new store openings, and as its margins stabilized more than a year into the price wars that have plagued the sector.
&ldquo;The international market is full of opportunity, but it also presents significant challenges,&rdquo; said Chairman and CEO Guo Jinyi on the company&rsquo;s earnings call. He didn&rsquo;t elaborate, but the Financial Times reported that Luckin could launch its first U.S. store as early as next year, targeting cities with large numbers of Chinese students and tourists such as New York. It will offer coffees priced around $2 or $3, throwing down the gauntlet to Starbucks and other chains that typically charge much more. The company is also reportedly planning to enter Hong Kong with the opening of two new stores in the city, according to local media reports.
The U.S. move would also mark a homecoming of sorts for Luckin, since the company was booted from the Nasdaq and fined $180 million after its accounting scandal in 2020 involving 2.2 billion yuan ($310 million) in fabricated sales.
Nearly five years later, Luckin appears to have emerged stronger under its new management. It has overtaken Starbucks to become the largest coffee chain in China. But it remains haunted by its two co-founders, Lu Zhengyao and Jenny Qian, who have cloned the company&rsquo;s strategies even more aggressively at Coffi.
Chinese startups are no strangers to price wars, using the cash-burning strategy since the early 2010s to rapidly expand, creating tech giants like DiDi Global and PDD Holdings. Luckin, which rose to prominence on its low prices, is now getting a taste of its own medicine from Cotti. Its younger rival started its 9.9 yuan pricing strategy early last year only a few months after launching its first store in the city of Fuzhou in South China&rsquo;s Fujian province, forcing Luckin to follow suit.
<h4>Lightning expansion</h4>
Cotti has opened new stores at a lightning pace since then,&nbsp;<a href="https://thebambooworks.com/cotti-splashes-past-10000-store-milestone-fueled-by-relentless-price-war/">including its 10,000th</a>last month, with plans to add another 40,000 more by the end of next year. Cotti has employed the kinds of aggressive tactics that got Luckin to where it is, including rewarding franchisees for opening stores close to Luckin&rsquo;s, according to multiple media reports.
The fierce price wars are squeezing Luckin&rsquo;s profitability and especially its same-store sales, though its latest report showed some signs of relief from the price wars.
Luckin&rsquo;s latest quarterly revenues totaled 10.2 billion yuan ($1.4 billion), exceeding the 10 billion yuan mark for the first time in the three months to September, up 41.4% year-on-year. While impressive, the growth lagged the company&rsquo;s store expansion over the same period, which rose 61% to 21,343 outlets.
Luckin&rsquo;s operating expenses also remained high due to the rapid pace of new store openings, at 84.7% of total revenue. These expenses grew 38.2% from the same period last year, roughly in line with its revenue growth.
The impact of the price wars and rapid expansion were most evident in the company&rsquo;s same-store sales, which fell 13.1% in the third quarter. While that looks bad, it was actually an improvement from the last two quarters, which both saw drops of over 20%. Same-store sales grew 19.9% in the same period last year.
Starbucks&rsquo; same-store sales in China also suffered, dropping 14% in its latest quarter through September.
In a positive sign, Luckin&rsquo;s store-level margins showed signs of stabilizing in the third quarter, and its operating margin even improved to 15.3% for the period from 13.4% a year earlier. That helped the company to report net income of 1.3 billion yuan for the quarter, up from 988 million yuan a year earlier.
Following its publication of the results, Luckin&rsquo;s shares, which are still traded over-the-counter in New York, rallied for two days before giving back some of their gains on Friday. Despite a recent bull run for Chinese stocks, Luckin is still down about 25% over the last year. The company&rsquo;s stock trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 24, behind the 30 for Starbucks but ahead of the 22 for fast food operator&nbsp;Yum China&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/yumc#NYSE">YUMC</a>), which is also expanding aggressively into the coffee space.
Luckin&rsquo;s overseas foray dates back to March 2023 when it opened its first two stores in Singapore. Cotti showed up in the market just nine months later, offering coffee at its first Singaporean store for about S$3.99 ($3) per cup, roughly 20% less than Luckin&rsquo;s average price of S$5, according to media reports.
Luckin said that it had opened 45 stores in Singapore by the end of the third quarter and recorded a loss of about 76.3 million yuan there for the first nine months of this year.
Cotti beat Luckin to the U.S. by opening its first store in Hawaii last year and a second one in Los Angeles early this year, offering Americanos for $2.99.
Luckin said it is not expecting near-term profitability from its international push and will instead aim to reach significant scale first, following its China strategy. Recognizing the stiff competition it will meet in the U.S. from established players, the company said, &ldquo;we intend to approach our expansion strategy there with careful consideration and a disciplined execution plan.&rdquo;
&ldquo;It indeed requires patience, time and continuous investment,&rdquo; said Chairman Guo.

Locked In Overheated Battle With Its Clone At Home, Luckin Eyes Expansion In U.S.

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas"> many investors&#8217; favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here&#8217;s a look at some of our top stories.
Major U.S. indexes saw a volatile close to the week, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq each down over 1%, largely influenced by recent earnings impacts from tech heavyweights like Microsoft and Meta Platforms. The Dow also edged lower by 0.2%, reflecting broader market apprehension following an October close that ended a five-month run of gains.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) spiked 34% in October—its third-highest increase for that month in an election year—indicating heightened market caution. 
Adding to this outlook, October's nonfarm payroll numbers reported only 12,000 new jobs, which has strengthened expectations for a Fed rate cut in the coming weeks. Markets largely predict <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41696201/market-volatility-soars-ahead-of-elections-tech-earnings-mixed-strikes-and-hurricanes-knock-employm">another reduction by year-end.</a>

Wedbush Maintains Neutral on Starbucks, Lowers Price Target to $95

Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) shares <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">are trading marginally higher on Thursday.</a>
Yesterday, the company reported fourth-quarter revenues of &nbsp;$9.07 billion versus&nbsp;estimates of $9.38 billion. Comparable store sales declined 7% globally, driven by an&nbsp;8%&nbsp;decline in comparable transactions, partially offset by a&nbsp;2%&nbsp;increase in average ticket.
Wedbush analyst Nick Setyan reiterated the Neutral rating on the stock, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SBUX/analyst-ratings">lowering the price forecast to $95 from $98.</a>
According to the analyst, the firm&#8217;s current valuation reflects limited visibility for near-term revenue and earnings. However, there is confidence in management&#8217;s potential for long-term annual operating margin expansion and EPS growth aligned with historical rates.
According to the analyst, CEO Niccol identified a key issue for SBUX: improving customer wait times to under four minutes across all ordering methods to enhance these speeds while also providing a great coffeehouse experience.

The analyst notes that the company will eliminate the upcharge for alternative dairy products, impacting comp and operating margins by about 1% in the U.S.
Additionally, promotional efforts will shift from offers to marketing, with expected lower unit growth in FY25 and upcoming remodels to address current challenges.
The analyst&#8217;s FY25 U.S. SSS growth estimate is 0.0%, and the International SSS growth estimate is (4.8%).
Setyan lowered the FY25 EPS estimate to $2.88 from $3.35. The analyst did not introduce FY26 estimates, given the lack of visibility.
TD Cowen analyst Andrew M. Charles reiterated the Buy rating on the stock, with a price forecast of $110.
The analyst notes that achieving wait times of under 4 minutes will need customized solutions.
While no long-term guidance was provided, the analyst argues that the strategy should achieve durable North America same-store sales growth of over 5%, which is necessary to improve domestic margins.
The analyst highlights that the company is mapping out a food &amp; beverage SKU rationalization.
Per Charles, the focus on simplification &amp; thru-put delays the timeline for material menu innovation as Niccol enhances Starbucks&#8217; stage gate process. The analyst lowered the 2025 EPS estimate to $3.06 from $3.98.
Price Action: SBUX shares are trading higher by 0.32% to $97.63 at last check Thursday.

Stocks Tumble, Nasdaq 100 Selloffs As Tech Giants Disappoint, Crypto Companies Plummet: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) will eliminate the extra charge for non-dairy milk options in company-owned stores across the United States and Canada, starting Nov 7. 
What Happened: This change will coincide with the launch of the brand&#8217;s holiday menu, making beverages with soymilk, oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk available at no additional cost.
The company has cited customization as a core aspect of the Starbucks experience. &#8220;Core to the Starbucks Experience is the ability to customize your beverage to make it yours,&#8221; said Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol. &#8220;By removing the extra charge for non-dairy milks, we're embracing all the ways our customers enjoy their Starbucks. This is just one of many changes we'll make to ensure a visit to Starbucks is worth it every time."
Non-dairy milk substitutions are currently the second most popular customization request among Starbucks patrons, trailing only extra espresso shots. 
According to Starbucks, nearly half of U.S. customers who currently pay for these modifications will benefit from an average price reduction of over 10%. Niccol emphasized that the move aligns with Starbucks&#8217; renewed focus on delivering value and experience in every visit.

Starbucks Drops Extra Charge For Oat And Almond Milk In Lattes, CEO Brian Niccol Doubles Down On Chain's Coffeehouse Legacy

Timed with Starbucks holiday launch on November 7, customers in U.S. and Canada company-owned and operated stores will no longer pay extra for customizing their beverage with non-dairy milk – including soymilk, oatmilk, almondmilk and coconutmilk.

Starbucks To No Longer Charge Extra For Customizing Beverages With Non-Dairy Milk, Starting With Launch Of Its Holiday Menu On November 7

Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) reported fourth-quarter financial results after the bell on Wednesday. Here&#8217;s a rundown <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41635745/starbucks-reports-q4-and-full-fiscal-year-2024-results">of the report</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q4 Revenue: $9.07 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $9.38 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q4 EPS: 80 cents, versus estimates of $1.03</li>
</ul>
Comparable store sales declined 7% globally, driven by an 8% decline in comparable transactions, partially offset by a 2% increase in average ticket. Comparable store sales fell 6% in North America, 14% in China and 9% internationally during the quarter. 
Active U.S. rewards memberships reached 33.8 million in the quarter, up 4% on a year-over-year basis. The company opened 722 net new stores in&nbsp;the fourth quarter and ended the period with 40,199 total locations.
&#8220;It is clear we need to fundamentally change our strategy to win back customers. ‘Back to Starbucks&#8217; is that fundamental change,&#8221; said&nbsp;Brian Niccol, chairman and CEO of Starbucks.
&#8220;My experience tells me that when we get back to our core identity and consistently deliver a great experience, our customers will come back. We have a clear plan and are moving quickly to return Starbucks to growth.&#8221;

Starbucks shares initially sold off on the preliminary report before bouncing back and turning positive as investors digested commentary from Niccol. The newly appointed Starbucks CEO said he would share more details on Starbucks&#8217; turnaround plans on the company's earnings call, which is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET.
As announced in the company&#8217;s preliminary results, Starbucks has suspended its guidance for fiscal year 2025, citing the company&#8217;s &#8220;CEO transition coupled with the current state of the business.&#8221;
Starbucks&#8217; board also declared a cash dividend of 61 cents per share last week. The&nbsp;dividend will be distributed on Nov. 29 to shareholders of record as of Nov. 15.

Starbucks Likely To Report Lower Quarterly Earnings; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

We&rsquo;ve now entered earnings season. Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lvs#NYSE">LVS</a>) misses the headline numbers, but looking a bit deeper, it was a great quarter. Starbucks (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sbux#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) misses badly. DKI thinks they&rsquo;re focused on too many things that don&rsquo;t affect the customer experience. Paul Tudor Jones and Stanley Druckenmiller are avoiding owning bonds joining DKI in our years-long concern about inflation reducing real returns in fixed income. We deny rumors that &ldquo;PTJ&rdquo; and &ldquo;Druck&rdquo; read DKI research, but if someone knows them, reach out and we&rsquo;ll put them on the subscribers&rsquo; list. <a href="https://x.com/leadlagreport">Michael Gayed</a> of the @LeadLagReport interviews me and we discuss the real cause of inflation. Hint:&nbsp; it&rsquo;s not supply chain issues. We also talk about the long-term demand for uranium. Finally, in our investor education &ldquo;Thing&rdquo;, we talk about the difference between active and passive investing. As a portfolio manager, I favor active investing; however, we acknowledge the benefits of passive strategies for certain investors.
This week, we&rsquo;ll address the following topics:
<ul>
<li>
Las Vegas Sands got unlucky at the gaming tables. That&rsquo;s temporary.
</li>
<li>
Starbucks&nbsp;sees same store sales down 7%. That&rsquo;s a big problem.
</li>
<li>
Paul Tudor Jones and Stanley Druckenmiller avoid Treasuries. DKI agrees with them.
</li>
<li>
Michael Gayed of @leadlagreport and I discuss inflation and energy. Gayed does a great interview so check out more of his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@leadlagreport">work</a>.

Las Vegas Sands $LVS Earnings:
</li>
</ul>
Las Vegas Sands&nbsp;announced 3Q earnings last week. Headlines looked bad. Revenue of $2.68B was below last year&rsquo;s $2.80B and below analyst estimates of $2.78B. Adjusted property EBITDA was $991MM which was below the $1.12B we saw last year. Adjusted EPS of $.44 was below last year&rsquo;s $.55 and fell short of analyst estimates of $.53. This seems bad, but doing some actual analysis, it was an excellent quarter.
<img alt="las_vegas_sands_stock_price_-_10-25-2024.jpg" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/2024/October/30/las_vegas_sands_stock_price_-_10-25-2024.jpg" style="height:372px; width:624px" />
High visitation during Golden Week plus excellent financial results gets a chart like this.
DKI Takeaway: Fortunately, the market saw through the &ldquo;negative&rdquo; headlines and the stock rose in aftermarket trading. I think they&rsquo;re seeing what we are; a company about to put a lot of renovated rooms back into service in Macau and adjusting for luck at the gaming tables, the best results we&rsquo;ve ever seen in Singapore. That plus record results for Golden Week in Macau and continued huge return of capital to shareholders confirms our positive thesis in the name.&nbsp; Adjusting for hold (a measure of how lucky or unlucky the casino was at the gaming tables), earnings this quarter were above year-ago results despite thousands of rooms being renovated. We continue to see a recovering/recovered market with the stock at distressed levels.

Disappointingly Pumpkin Spicy Earnings from Starbucks $SBUX:
</li>
</ol>
On Tuesday, Starbucks $SBUX reported disappointing Q3 earnings, with net sales of $9.11 billion, a 1% decline. Across the board, Starbucks saw declines in key metrics. In-store traffic fell 6% in the U.S. and 7% in their second-largest market, China. The company attributed their disappointing earnings to the &ldquo;challenging consumer environment&rdquo;. New CEO Brian Niccol, is working to turn the company around by simplifying the menu and broadening their internal marketing strategies. This is after replacing the prior CEO who wanted to work limited hours; something that isn&rsquo;t an option for a large multi-national customer service business.
<img alt="sbux_tweet.jpg" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/2024/October/30/sbux_tweet.jpg" style="height:450px; width:335px" />
Original post by <a href="https://x.com/texasrunnerDFW">@texasrunnerDFW</a> who is worth following.
DKI Takeaway: While Brian Niccol looks to reengineer the internal dynamics of Starbucks, here at DKI, we think there are multiple issues causing their domestic sales to decline. Over the past few years, Starbucks has aggressively involved itself in controversial social issues, which may alienate customers. Some people simply want to grab a coffee without engaging on the most controversial issues in society. Other brands and companies like Bud Light, Target, My Pillow and Goya have all faced customer backlash due to social and political issues. The new CEO is wisely focused on improving efficiency. In our opinion, the company should prioritize shareholder value and customer comfort over obsessive virtue signaling.

All Roads Lead to Inflation: Strategic Bets from Two Market Giants:
</li>
</ol>
In a recent interview with CNBC, Paul Tudor Jones (PTJ) stressed that &quot;all roads lead to inflation,&quot; emphasizing his strategic investments in gold and Bitcoin. He also noted that commodities are &quot;ridiculously under-owned.&quot; He continued, &ldquo;I own zero fixed income&rdquo; reflecting a growing sentiment among investors that traditional fixed income is losing its allure. Stanley Druckenmiller, known for generating impressive returns over three decades with his former firm, Duquesne Capital Management, is also adopting a contrarian stance. He suggests the way for the government to navigate the current economic landscape is to &ldquo;inflate your way out.&rdquo; Druckenmiller is reportedly shorting U.S. Treasury bonds, which now account for 15% to 20% of his portfolio, effectively betting against the prevailing view that interest rates will continue to decline. (Although the Fed sets the overnight interest rate, longer-term yields are set by the market.) While the Federal Reserve aims for a &quot;soft landing&quot; by lowering interest rates, Druckenmiller warns that if inflation surges to levels seen in the 1970s, the Fed will be unable to cut rates as much as the market expects.
<img alt="druck_x_ptj.jpeg" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/2024/October/30/druck_x_ptj.jpeg" style="height:360px; width:624px" />
Druckenmiller and Paul Tudor Jones aren&rsquo;t long Treasuries. DKI isn&rsquo;t either.
DKI Takeaway:&nbsp; We wish we could tell you that Druckenmiller and Paul Tudor Jones were DKI subscribers. We&rsquo;ve been talking about higher inflation, trapped central banks, and the inability to save in dollars for three years. We&rsquo;ve said that interest rates would be higher than the market expected leading to lower valuations for bonds. Nice to see respected investors like &ldquo;Druck&rdquo; and PJT coming to the same conclusion. If any of you know them, feel free to reach out. We&rsquo;ll be happy to offer them a complimentary subscription to DKI.

DKI Sits Down with <a href="https://x.com/leadlagreport">Michael Gayed</a> from the Lead Lag Report:
</li>
</ol>
In a recent conversation with Michael Gayed from the @LeadLagReport, I discussed the pressing economic issues that investors should keep in mind. I believe the current inflation surge is primarily driven by excessive government spending, which is illustrated by the fact that over 50% of all dollars in existence were created in just two years. This phenomenon, combined with debt monetization&mdash;where the Treasury sells bonds to cover government debts&mdash;fuels the inflationary fire, significantly increasing the money supply and pushing prices upward. Many tend to blame the Federal Reserve&#39;s low-interest rates for inflation, but if Congress continues its excessive spending, inflation will linger like an unwelcome guest. Shifting gears to energy, I see a bright future for uranium, driven by a surge in demand and supply constraints. As countries like India and China ramp up their energy needs, plus electrification and data centers in the west, I expect that uranium prices will increase in the coming years. The supply of uranium is already tight, with only about two to three years&#39; worth of excess supply available to meet rising demand. Major producers are struggling to ramp up production, which could lead to a substantial supply crunch. Moreover, I highlight the recommissioning of decommissioned nuclear plants in the U.S., signaling a renewed interest in nuclear energy as a sustainable solution. As we face regulatory concerns over carbon emissions, nuclear power emerges as a reliable, carbon-free energy source. I suggest investors consider physical uranium rather than mining companies, as the latter carry inherent operational risks.

Listen to our conversation on <a href="https://youtu.be/UP6xFC3odo0?si=XOXnk3subO4Bd-zC">The Lead-Lag Report&rsquo;s YouTube Channel</a>.
DKI Takeaway: Thanks to @leadlagreport for the great discussion which emphasized the need for long-term investment strategies, akin to practicing &quot;time arbitrage.&quot; As market dynamics shift, those who remain patient and focused on the long game may achieve significant returns. This conversation serves as a timely reminder of the complex interplay between government actions, inflation, and emerging energy markets. In navigating these market challenges, it&#39;s crucial to remain informed and proactive&mdash;after all, few understand the nuances of these issues.

What&rsquo;s the Difference Between Active and Passive Investing?&nbsp;
</li>
</ol>
In simple terms, active investors buy and sell individual stocks regularly, while passive investors typically hold diversified baskets of investments for long periods of time. One of the key differences between the two is that active investors frequently enter and exit positions in individual equities, whereas passive investors usually invest in mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) infrequently. When comparing the two, most hedge funds and portfolio managers utilize active investment strategies, while many retail investors use passive investing strategies. Registered investment advisors as a group lean hard towards passive strategies, but the best ones are excellent active investors.
<img alt="active_investing_vs_passive_investing.jpg" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/2024/October/30/active_investing_vs_passive_investing.jpg" style="height:312px; width:624px" />

DKI Takeaway: Many readers of the 5 Things use both passive and active strategies. At DKI, our <a href="https://deepknowledgeinvesting.com/current-recommendations/">current recommendations</a> page is a long portfolio that is actively managed and hedged. While managing an active portfolio can be challenging, a hybrid approach with DKI assistance could provide a better hedge against future inflation and offer more exposure to potential 5-10x returns in individual stocks. Overall, combining a passive investment strategy combined with a <a href="https://deepknowledgeinvesting.com/subscribe-now/">DKI premium membership</a> is an excellent way to focus on risk-adjusted returns.&nbsp;
