Daniel, your R/E analysis of SBUX is interesting to read. I got the following data table from Microsoft Investor. As you can see, the 4th column below shows that R/E of SBUX of past 10 years is close to 10% as you have described. However, if book value has any thing to do with a companie's value for your investment decision as you have indicated, the book value per share shown in the 2nd column below for the past 10 years has increased a few times more than 10% percent each year. For example, R/E was 8.6% in 9/98 while B/S increased 31.8%. Each year before that this situation applies similarly for SBUX.

What does it mean?
