Sorry, that’s a cheesy open, but it’s the best I could come up with early in the day.

With the coffee stock starting to recover from a 38% drop, insiders have been actively buying.   That includes interim CEO Howard Schultz, who recently picked up $10 million shares. Chair Mellody Hobson paid $5 million on September 15, 2022 for 54,570 shares, at an average price of $92.58 each.  Director Ritch Allison bought 10,000 shares for $1 million, at an average price of $92.53 each.
