How to Earn $500 Monthly from Starbucks Stock

Starbucks offers investors a couple of strategies to generate income, notably through its dividend payments and options trading. To earn $500 monthly from Starbucks dividends, one would need approximately $6,000 in annual dividends. Given the company's current dividend yield of around 2%, this means an investment of about $300,000 in Starbucks stock. Alternatively, selling covered call options on Starbucks shares can provide additional income, though this comes with the risk of having shares called away if prices rise above the strike price.

In its recent Q2 earnings report, Starbucks reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.68, which fell short of the $0.80 expected by analysts. Revenue saw a 2% year-over-year decline to $8.56 billion, missing projections of $9.13 billion. The company's global same-store sales dipped by 4%, with specific declines in North America and international markets, including an 11% drop in China.

Looking ahead, Starbucks plans to boost customer engagement with new promotions and menu innovations despite revising its 2024 global revenue growth expectations to low single digits from a previous 7% to 10%. The company, which currently operates 38,951 locations after opening 364 new stores in the quarter, aims to counter the decline in same-store sales, which are now expected to remain flat or decline slightly, instead of the previously anticipated growth.

Equinix, a major player in digital infrastructure based in the U.S., has revised its 2025 revenue and funds from operations (FFO) projections upward owing to increasing demand for its data center services. This surge in demand is largely fueled by advances in artificial intelligence, with the company adjusting its full-year revenue forecast to a range between $9.175 billion and $9.275 billion.

According to Reuters, this adjustment comes in response to sustained investments from large cloud providers and smaller enterprises enhancing their AI capabilities. Additionally, Equinix reported a first-quarter revenue of $2.23 billion, slightly above what analysts had predicted. Following the company's announcement, Equinix saw a 3% rise in its shares during after-hours trading.

In recent trading, Equinix's stock price currently stands at $860.75, with a slight increase of $6.19 or 0.01% since the last close, and a recorded intraday high of $886.77.

Apple Faces Accusations of Misleading Court in Epic Games Lawsuit

Apple Faces Accusations of Misleading Court in Epic Games Lawsuit

43 minutes agoAAPL

Recent developments in the legal confrontation between Apple and Epic Games have intensified scrutiny of Apple's conduct during the proceedings. A second judge in the case has indicated potential dishonesty in Apple's legal representations, calling the company's recent court filing "simply not believable," as reported by macmegasite.com. Allegations were further compounded when U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas Hixson criticized Apple for improperly withholding documents by misapplying attorney-client confidentiality protections last December. Reuters highlighted that this action led to an order for Apple to produce the withheld documents related to the App Store. Adding to these concerns, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled in April 2025 that Apple had violated a court order from 2021, which required changes to its App Store practices. This stemmed from an antitrust lawsuit initiated by Epic Games, which sought to allow developers to direct users to alternative payment systems. Apple had imposed a 27% fee on such transactions and discouraged non-Apple payment methods, actions that were deemed as willful non-compliance with legal mandates.

Robinhood Markets Inc. announced a substantial increase in its quarterly profits, fueled by a significant rise in cryptocurrency trading. The company revealed a net income of $336 million, or 37 cents per share, for the first quarter of 2025. This more than doubled its net income of $157 million, or 18 cents per share, from the same quarter last year, surpassing analysts' predictions of 33 cents per share. The jump in profits was supported by a 77% year-over-year increase in transaction-based revenue across options, equities, and cryptocurrencies. Notably, cryptocurrency trading revenue saw a remarkable 100% increase, thanks to fluctuations in Bitcoin's price. Reuters highlighted that political uncertainty, including unpredictable trade policies from U.S. President Donald Trump, contributed to the market volatility, enhancing trading activities. Besides cryptocurrency, Robinhood also saw healthy growth in other areas with options trading revenue up by 56% and equities by 44%. Net interest revenues increased by 14% to $290 million. Despite a 32% gain in the company's stock performance year-to-date, Robinhood's shares fell 2% in after-hours trading. The stock closed at $49.11, showing marginal movement from its previous close.
