-- without howard schultz. he'll still be here, about whether howard schultz is the steve jobs, if you will, of starbucks, guys. >> that certainly is a question. andrew, in addition to having kevin johnson around sort of waiting in the wings for this transition to happen, starbucks also recently named a ceo specifically for china. it seemed like they're preparing for a division in which there will be more division of labor in the company in a time when one founder/ceo wasn't going to be the head of the entire company. >> reporter: you know, they did this reorganization over the summer. a lot of investors started to think then that the day-to-day operations, which had already been with kevin johnson for quite some time, that piece was already in place. as you've said, they've really tried to shift the management, if you will, of the company. again, it is a surprise. the timing of course is always a surprise when an iconic ceo like that comes on. we want to have you listen real quick to a bite from the conference

howard schultz now 63 years old. as i said, they did put together a number of pieces of this prior, so i would be a little surprised if wall street -- for those who paid attention to the company in great detail, i think that this succession plan had been relatively signalled. the timing of course may be the question. this has been in the works -- they started talking about this apparently at least six months ago in terms of the timing right now. so not related -- someone said today could it be the election. not related to the election at all. >> okay. mike is here. what do you make of this development? >> andrew makes a good case that if you're reading between the lines and looking at these nuances maybe you saw this coming. i think the street is a little surprised. he's 6 3, he's a young 63. to your point about being the steve jobs of the company, he got the benefit of the doubt for investors that he's looking at the long term and if they want to buy a bakery company, if they want to buy a tea company, if they want

he's not trying to be another howard schultz. maybe this is the right transition for the company at this point. >> although it happened once before and didn't go particularly well. i think that's a concern for investors when he did step away and of course came back and able to right the company after some missteps. >> i would say the glass is half full here. he probably learned something from that experience and i don't think he is stepping too far away this time. you know, we'll see what happens. he seems to have confidence in this successor. >> how much of a lead do you think starbucks has over other more ar tisal coffee brands, but he says he's leighing the company in a good place with little competition. >> i went around and did some tasting and checking it out and i was incredibly impressed big company like that how nimble they were at meeting the challenges of these new artesnal coffee makers. mcdonald's also have been doing a great job, but they've been so much slower to move. how starbucks managed to do that, i don't know

>> he's all in starbuck for now. >> schultz stepped down before. april 2000, he left starbucks, $5 stock, and it went up to about $20 a share in 2007 and then began to collapse. in january of 2008 -- >> huge operational problems. >> january 2008 schultz was lured back or came back and the stock was at 10 bucks. but it had come down from 20. he resuscitated the company. with all due respect to kevin johnson, schultz has turned around this company before, though i would argue, this is probably a much different company than it was then. >> it had four conquartersconse quarters of sales misses. for investors there are questions about starbucks. right now at this time it is priced like a growth stock, still the growth stock it once was? is it still the same kind of growth stock as it once was? does it command a premium and throw on top of it, oh, by the way, the founder, iconic ceo is leaving. >> from a consumer angle, i would love to hear what our viewers think, there is a drive through starbucks near me, which has basically egg mcmuffins, so they're t
