SFM Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. has seen a significant increase in e-commerce sales, which grew from approximately 11% in 2021 to 15% today, bolstered by strategic partnerships with delivery platforms such as Instacart, DoorDash, and UberEats. The company successfully launched around 300 Sprouts Brand products in 2024, contributing to a rise in owned brand penetration from roughly 20% in 2023 to 24% by mid-2025. Additionally, the company's operating margins expanded by approximately 135 basis points year-over-year in the second quarter, reaching 8.1%, alongside a gross margin increase of around 90 basis points to 38.8%, indicating operational efficiency and strong financial performance.
Bears say
Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. faces a negative outlook primarily due to a projected decline in earnings per share (EPS), which is anticipated to drop approximately 6% for 2026 as a result of increased promotional intensity and fixed cost deleverage. The company is also experiencing a slowdown in sales growth, with recent data indicating a modest decline in September, compounded by challenging comparisons to prior periods that may hinder future performance. Additionally, reduced demand for attribute-based foods, alongside uncertainties in the expected benefits from investments in the loyalty program, could further strain margins and suppress comp sales growth.
