How Do These Events Affect Starbucks Corporation's Financial History?
Acquisitions and disposals break the comparison from one year to the next. Growth in fiscal 2018 and the year after mixes the existing business with what was bought or sold, so the 10-K's discussion of results, which usually separates the two, says more than the headline growth rate in those years.
A stock split changes every per-share figure before it: earnings per share, dividends per share and share counts in older filings are on a different basis until restated, so compare per-share history only in split-adjusted terms.
Each year shows the revenue from the latest 10-K that reported it, so a year a company later restated can differ from the figure it first published, and most companies moved to a new revenue tag after the 2018 change in revenue accounting.
Where This Timeline Comes From
