Analysis

This probability reflects market confidence that Starbucks will operate at least 41,200 locations globally by the third quarter of 2026. The 90% probability suggests traders expect continued store expansion to reach this threshold, with the company's recent growth trajectory and expansion plans supporting the higher outcome. Key drivers include Starbucks' capital allocation priorities, international market penetration rates, and whether any store closures or slower-than-expected openings occur. The resolution will depend on Starbucks' official Q3 2026 earnings report, expected in late July or early August 2026, which will disclose exact store counts by geography and format. Related markets show traders are less confident about comparable transaction growth targets, with above-4% comps trading significantly lower than the store count question, suggesting execution risk around same-store sales remains a concern despite expansion optimism.

  • Starbucks' reported store count at end of Q2 2026 and historical quarterly net unit growth rates (typically 3-5% annually)
  • Capital expenditure guidance and management's public commitments regarding store openings versus closures for 2026
  • Performance of key expansion markets (China, international markets) which represent the majority of planned unit growth
  • Whether any macro headwinds (economic slowdown, real estate constraints, labor costs) materially alter the company's expansion timeline
  • The comparable transaction growth outcomes, as weak same-store sales could trigger strategic pauses or closures affecting total unit count

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
