Starbucks Reports Strong Sales Rebound
Starbucks, a big coffee company, just reported that their sales are going up again.
Their new CEO, Brian Niccol, has been working on making the stores better and faster.
People are buying more coffee, and the company is making changes to make sure customers have a good experience.
They are also fixing some problems with their digital orders and closing some stores that aren't doing well.
Even though they are spending more on things like coffee and workers, they think things will get better soon.
The company's stock price went up a lot because of these good news.
Starbucks reported a 4% global sales increase, exceeding analyst expectations.
U.S. sales rose 4%, driven by higher transactions and increased spending per visit.
