In the most recent premarket trading, Starbucks’ (Seattle) shares fell 6 percent, according to CNBC. Starbucks cites faltering sales in China as one of the main reasons for this decline; a recent resurgence of Covid-19 in China has reportedly slowed down sales in the coffee company’s foreign markets.

Same-store sales shrank by 70 percent in China this past fiscal quarter. This news comes just a day after Starbucks announced it will be working towards raising all employee wages to $15 an hour by 2022.
