Starbucks' Schultz: Share Selloff Is An Overreaction >SBUX

(BRIC - get ready to be americanized - BRIC MEN - get ready for princess to bitch you out and runup 250 a month at sbux - El Mat where is your daughter? - hehe)

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) Chief Executive Howard Schultz called Thursday's selling in the company's shares an overreaction.

The selling comes a day after the coffee chain posted third-quarter results that included a July same-store sales growth figure of 4% that troubled investors.

"This is a moment in time (in) which people have clearly overreacted," Schultz told CNBC Thursday. Same-store sales "should not measure the health and success of a company that has gone from 11 stores in 1987 to 12,000 today in almost 40 countries."

Earlier, shares of Starbucks fell as low as $28.72 compared with its year low of $23 reached Sept. 20. Shares recently traded at $30.74, down 7.7%.

Schultz said Starbucks' biggest opportunities come from expanding the chain internationally. He said Starbucks is in the works to open stores in Russia, India and Brazil.
