Last week, Starbucks reported preliminary fourth-quarter results and suspended annual forecast through the next fiscal year as new CEO Brian Niccol tries to steer the company toward the path to growth

on Wednesday reported a 7% drop in global comparable sales for the fourth quarter as the coffee chain struggles to revive demand for its pricey lattes in the key U.S. and China markets.

Comparable sales in China, the company’s second-largest market after the U.S., declined for three straight quarters, falling 14% in the fourth quarter.
