Author argues SBUX has weak leadership, unhappy workers, poor store experience, and an unsustainable dividend. If profitability/dividend concerns are valid, the stock’s 25% YTD rally appears unjustified, creating a short opportunity. Short SBUX on deteriorating fundamentals relative to market optimism. Brand loyalty, possible turnaround under new leadership, or continued dividend support could invalidate the bear thesis.
