1441 ET - TD Cowen analysts say they like the logic behind a potential move from Starbucks to monetize its company-operated Japanese market, citing a report from Bloomberg. Japan is not one of Starbucks' core markets, so a transaction would further streamline the coffee chain's focus on its revitalization in the U.S., the analysts say. A deal could also boost the company's return on invested capital, the analysts say. The report from Bloomberg says Starbucks is mulling options for its Japanese business including a potential stake sale. (kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
