Sloan Ratio=(Net Income (A: Sep. 2023 )-Cash Flow from Operations (A: Sep. 2023 )
-Cash Flow from Investing (A: Sep. 2023 ))/Total Assets (A: Sep. 2023 )
=(4124.5-6008.7
--2270.8)/29445.5
=1.31%

-Cash Flow from Investing (TTM))/Total Assets (Q: Dec. 2023 )
=(4293.7-6799.4
--2560.3)/29179.7

Starbucks's Net Income for the trailing twelve months (TTM) ended in Dec. 2023 was 908.3 (Mar. 2023 ) + 1141.7 (Jun. 2023 ) + 1219.3 (Sep. 2023 ) + 1024.4 (Dec. 2023 ) = $4,294 Mil.
Starbucks's Cash Flow from Operations for the trailing twelve months (TTM) ended in Dec. 2023 was 767.6 (Mar. 2023 ) + 1702.9 (Jun. 2023 ) + 1945 (Sep. 2023 ) + 2383.9 (Dec. 2023 ) = $6,799 Mil.

Starbucks  (NAS:SBUX) Sloan Ratio % Explanation

A former University of Michigan researcher, Richard Sloan's 1996 paper found that shares of companies with small or negative accruals vastly outperform (+10%) those of companies with large ones. In fact, for the 40-year period between 1962 and 2001, buying the lowest accrual companies and shorting the highest accrual companies resulted in an average annual compounded return of 18%, more than double the S&P 500's 7.4% annual return over the same period.

According to How to Beat the Market with the Sloan Ratio:

If the Sloan Ratio is between -10% and 10%, the company is in the safe zone and there is no funny business with accruals.

If the Sloan Ratio is less than between -25% and -10% on the negative side, and between 10% and 25% on the positive side, this is a warning stage of accrual build up.

If the Sloan Ratio is less than -25% or greater than 25%, and this ratio is consistent over several quarters or even years, be careful. Earnings are highly likely to be made up of accruals.

As of Dec. 2023, Starbucks has a Sloan Ratio of 0.19%, indicating the company is in the safe zone and there is no funny business with accruals.
