STARBUCKS CORP is exploring a stake sale in its Japan business that could value the unit at up to ¥500 billion ($3.1 billion). This potential divestment follows a 2014 buyout of a joint venture that had operated since 1995. The move signals a strategic shift toward asset-light operations to improve capital efficiency and stabilize profit margins under new leadership.
