The past several years haven't been good ones for investors in Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX). The stock is lower than it was three years ago, while the broader market has gained about 32% -- this despite Starbucks stock hitting an all-time high in mid-2017. The coffee chain has been hampered by slowing growth, incidents of racial bias, and more recently the departure of Chairman Howard Schultz and the announced retirement of CFO Scott Maw, who will depart in November.Investors will be watching closely when the company reports the financial results of its third fiscal quarter on July 26 after the market close.
