good morning. - good morning. - let's start with starbucks. this stock actually got a boost of around $1.50 last night after the close. what do you anticipate for it today? - it should be interesting to see how they do. it's a great company, great stock. i think everyone's going to be looking at comparable-store sales, also what they've got going on in asia. people expect them to expand, but this is a stock that's done very well. it's priced expensively. so, unless there's a real blowout, i don't think too much is going to happen, and it looks like the options market agrees with me. - it looks like maybe it's already baked in anyway. we'll have to wait and see on that one. what about general motors? ford had solid numbers. - yeah, ford had a really great quarter. their earnings were up about 50% year-over-year. but gm here is a little bit of a different story. i think people are really expecting good things out of them based on what ford said about the u.s. auto industry, how their earnings were going. but i think a big key here is that gm's f

. >> we are looking at starbucks as well. starbucks coming out with earnings as well. that stock is trading higher. but i guess broadly speaking, gentlemen, the revenue has been an issue here for this quarter. what is it going to -- what is it going to take to get revenue to move in profit we know can do well but that is all about cost-cutting, right? >> you know, profits is about getting the cost under control and the investment that they have and making sure you can harness it. i think the key thing is to figure out where the profitability can be in a relatively short period of time. >> all right. we will leave it there. gentlemen, thank you very much. appreciate your time on this. starbucks is trading higher right now on the heels ofity numbers. get to jane wells. she is breaking down that quarter. over to you, jane. >> howard schultz calling it the best across the board performance. that's howard schultza. with 55 cents earnings per share wab the street was looking for 53. 3.74 billion. again the street looking for 3.7. that's up 13% from aier ago. same store sales

>> we've been recommending starbucks for quite a long time.s had a terrific run representing the awesome business fundamentals. but we do still like it here. it's really threefold. number one, we think the street really underestimates the improving sales trend. i think when you look at the food that's going to be coming into starbucks' stores, it's not fully representative in estimates out there. number two, look at coffee. i would say, you know, to the viewers, look at the coffee chart over the last 18 months. it's really divebombed. that's going to drive margin expansion, and i think it will drive visibility in some of the best eps growth in restaurants. number three, i think there's a balance sheet catalyst coming. i think this is an underutilized balance sheet. i think they can lever up, potentially buy back a lot of stock, or really up the dividend ratio -- payout ratio. so while it's had a great run, i still think there's room to grow. >> all right. balance sheet aside, you're looking at a stock in 2009 was below $10 a share. and now at

good morning. - good morning. - let's start with starbucks and amazon and get your take there. - starbucks, it's like people are realizing it's just not growth in asia and latin america, but the fact is they're doing a great job in the u.s. making some key acquisitions, they're doing very well in the retail market with k-cups and with via, so it's just not focused on outside the country. they're doing well everywhere. - what about amazon? - amazon's a different story. their p/e ratio is through the moon right now, and we have growth that's struggling outside the united states. it's ok here in the u.s., but outside the u.s., not so good; and the fact is, growth is decelerating right now. they're spending a lot of money on infrastructure, they're spending a lot of money on kindle, etc. long-term it might be good, but it's a $300 stock - at least it was yesterday - so, really risky up here. - and then there was expedia. - expedia, expedia disappointed as well. expedia did well outside of the u.s., especially asia, specifically japan and korea, but the revenue is going down. volume's up, but r

or take starbucks and 3m, two companies that report tomorrow.e out what people originally didn't like about starbucks last quarter that sent it down to 60 after hours trading from 62 when it closed but it obviously didn't hold any water because the stocks moved methodically back up to 67. was at 69. well above where it was before it reported that so-called disappointing quarter. while we're on the eve of starbucks's q let me just say this danone yogurt tie-up announced today i think it's a pretty bullish long-term idea. it didn't drive up the stock today. 3m's much more problematic. when that company reports you have to hope it bested heavily slashed estimates a la what apple did. the ones that dropped the stock from 107 to 103. because the stock is now up nine points from before the slashing. i can't see where the business has turned, but maybe i'm being too negative because the stock's been a real horse. the turn in google is astonishing. last week all we cared about was advertisers weren't paying up for mobile ads and the mobile acquisition w
