Kellogg Company (K), Fusion-IO, Inc. (FIO) & Starbucks Corporation (SBUX): What Should Investors Do?

To regain momentum, Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) is expanding its retail business to China, which should re-accelerate growth over time in what will likely become over several years  its largest market. Culver will oversee an ambitious presence in the grocery channel in China, similar to what has successfully been done in the U.S.

Analysts were pleased with the company’s revamped multi-channel strategy, with Argus Research leading the way with a buy rating and a $70 price target, around 15% upside.

Conclusion

With the exception of Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX), the companies mentioned did not have very good quarterly earnings, but I believe all three have very positive outlooks that can begin paying off in a few months. Investors need to understand that one bad quarter (or even one bad year) is not indicative of doom. In fact, a bad quarter can provide a great entry point at a reduced price for the long term.
