SBUX — Starbucks Corp.

Permissible business; has increased leverage via share buybacks.

Why?

Starbucks' core coffee and food-service business is permissible (alcohol is only offered at a small number of pilot locations). It has increased debt in recent years to fund share buybacks, which is worth verifying against current filings when assessing its debt ratio.
