Advice needed: Sprouts Farmers Mkt (SFM) - Short interest 17% of float, new high 6/10 on 2.5x volume
$SFM Best growth stock opportunity, low p/e, new CEO in last few years, been seeing a lot of positive changes to the store recently, IMO will own this sector of grocery. I believe last quarter would’ve been green if not for covid restrictions like self serve salads, soups, anti maskers etc

Any opinion on SFM these days? It looks like a good buying opportunity
Same with other consumer staple companies like SFM as well.
If anyone wants a turnaround play, SFM (Sprouts) looks like it turned around after a brutal drop. ER on 10/29 with all up revisions and 0 down.
[https://finviz.com/published\_idea.ashx?t=SFM&f=100725&i=SFMw161399124i](https://finviz.com/published_idea.ashx?t=SFM&f=100725&i=SFMw161399124i) have you guys seen the freefall in Sprouts farmers markets? is it time to buy this ponzi yet?
I know this ain’t value investing but I’m buying some SFM
Is Secretary Scott Bessent secretly trying to desrpy the American Economy? He did, afterall, work for George Soros for 30 years. >Bessent graduated from Yale College in 1984. In 1991, he was hired by Soros Fund Management, eventually becoming the head of its London office. In this role, in September 1992, he was a leading member of the group that profited by $1 billion on Black Wednesday, the British Pound sterling crisis. He made another $1.2 billion profit for SFM in 2013 betting against the Japanese yen. After he left the Soros Fund in 2015
SFM down 50% in a month on no catalyst lmao, ok i don't feel so bad holding tech stocks now
SFM dropping 1% daily for the last 6 months seems like an ominous indicator of what's next.
What's the best price to start getting into SFM?
can someone explain how SFM has 16 consecutive red days in a row, with daily RSI being 2. How is that even possible for a stock to keep going down with no catalyst. are certain small caps truly at the mercy of MM? imagine walmart or costco this would never happen
Somebody just pull the plug on SFM already. It's been terminal for months.
What's the best entry price for SFM?
If you wanna see a brutal stock chart check out SFM. It was a straight line up for several years and has now gone from 65% 1Y gains to negative without a single tick upwards in ages LMAO
If it got worse maybe. You have a category that's been obliterated - look up names oversold (RSI below 30) on finviz and there's a ton of CPG names. CPG has been a lousy sector for a while and people making a big deal of KVUE down lately but those same people aren't talking about how as of May 2025 it was still below where it was spun off in May 2023. KVUE is moderately oversold with an RSI of 27; I'd be more interested in something like SFM (which was actually a pretty decent growth story until lately) with a *verrrrryyy* oversold RSI of 17.5.
What are your thoughts on the SFM 🌱 drawdown
What would concern me is that grocery stores in the past have occasionally figured out something new/novel as a way to stand out and they do well ... for a while. There's nothing really keeping other chains from trying to copy what SFM is doing. Whole Foods was a growth stock for a while until everyone else moved into organic - Amazon bought it well off highs. SFM has had real success recently. What are the reasons for that success that some other grocer couldn't copy Also, keep in mind this was a stock that IPO'd in August 2013 and then went down and never got back to the IPO price until July 2023. The recent decline is actually kinda interesting but I just get concerned when a grocery store turns into a growth story that that growth story is not sustainable over the medium/long-term because there's no moat in grocery. The funny thing is ask AI what makes Sprouts so special: "Sprouts Farmers Market differentiates itself by offering an immersive grocery experience focused on fresh, wholesome, and innovative products, including a large organic produce selection, a curated assortment of "better-for-you" items like plant-based and gluten-free goods, and a significant focus on health and wellness products. They achieve this through a unique store layout with open, bountiful produce displays, a wide array of vitamins and supplements, and a private-label brand that emphasizes health standards, all in a friendly and accessible environment designed to inspire customers on their wellness journeys." That .... sounds a lot like earlier era Whole Foods, doesn't it? So Amazon bought Whole Foods, turned it less Whole Foods-y and Sprouts has filled in the demand for what Whole Foods originally was.
Really fukt the GOOGL🅰️ℹ️ Was incredibly dumb this Spring & didn’t sell SFM🌱🛒 in the $160 range to buy GOOGL🅰️ℹ️ sub $170 Now the grocery store sector has withered entirely—all tickers down even COST🌭—while tech has skyrocketed over rate cut expectations, GUH I’ll like add any dips below $200, thinking $350 Q4FY26
💎 🔛 🤲: > PHOENIX - Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFM), currently valued at $14.1 billion, announced on Tuesday that its Board of Directors has authorized a new $1 billion share repurchase program, replacing its current authorization which had approximately $143 million remaining. According to InvestingPro data, management has been consistently aggressive with share buybacks, supported by the company’s robust financial health score of 2.92 out of 5. > The specialty grocery retailer said the new buyback program was approved on August 13, 2025, and will allow the company to purchase shares on a discretionary basis through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. > The program has no expiration date and may be commenced, suspended, or discontinued at any time, according to the company. Sprouts noted that its Board expects to periodically review the authorization to assess its continued appropriateness based on capital allocation priorities, market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. > “Our ongoing share repurchase program reflects our robust cash flow generation and our Board’s confidence in our strategy and the potential of our business,” said Curtis Valentine, chief financial officer of Sprouts Farmers Market. > Valentine added that the company is committed to delivering long-term value for investors by prioritizing investments for business growth while returning excess free cash flow to shareholders through the ongoing repurchase program. > Sprouts Farmers Market operates more than 450 stores across 24 states and employs approximately 35,000 people. The company specializes in fresh, natural, and organic food products. > The announcement was made in a press release statement issued by the company. > In other recent news, Sprouts Farmers Market reported impressive second-quarter 2025 results, surpassing analysts’ expectations. The company achieved an earnings per share of $1.35, beating the forecasted $1.23, and generated revenue of $2.2 billion, exceeding the anticipated $2.17 billion. UBS adjusted its price target for Sprouts Farmers Market to $180.00, citing supply chain impacts but maintaining a Neutral rating. Meanwhile, Wells Fargo upgraded the company’s stock rating from Equal Weight to Overweight, viewing recent stock pullbacks as buying opportunities. Barclays also upgraded Sprouts Farmers Market to Overweight, raising its price target to $185.00, highlighting the company’s steady growth outlook and incremental sales drivers. On the other hand, BMO Capital lowered its price target to $170.00, maintaining a Market Perform rating due to expected deceleration in comparable store sales growth. These developments reflect a mix of optimism and caution among analysts regarding Sprouts Farmers Market’s future performance.
$SFM Sprouts Farmers Market had absolutely stellar earnings, somehow it is low... this will not last. I have calls for $200 for two weeks and a month out
SFM yes but FTAI the numbers are crooked
There's just not been much innovation at some CPG companies - Kraft is a huge example of what happens when you prioritize cost cutting over innovation. Store brands are also winning - many of them taste better and are at least moderately cheaper. "General Mills follow suit?" The Kelloggs deal will probably at least start some food M&A discussions with various brands but whether they go anywhere who knows. General Mills could spin off pet food w/Blue Buffalo but take that away and you're left with an unappealing set of people food brands. They need to dump underperforming brands and try to look for deals to refresh the portfolio but no guarantee that that works. Bad deals can certainly happen - look at SJM already writing down the value of the Hostess purchase less than two years later. Personally would continue to prefer who owns the shelves in terms of food - KR, WMT, SFM - than the brands trying to compete for shelf space.
Anyone else just sitting on SFM COST AAPL 🌱🌭🍏
SFM Sprouts I found it when it was low 40s
It's probably not the answer you want but it could just be a healthy past due pullback. SFM is up 25% YTD, 91% over the past year, and 517% over the past 3 years. They're trading way over their 3Y valuation averages right now.
Any ideas why $SFM has been dropping this week?
Im holding calls too, its all good. I’ll never break even in SFM at this point
I’m long SFM via 7/18 165c and 170c. I like the stock especially on this 10% pullback and see no reason that it’ll stop being a superlong now. Likely sees $210 sometime before January. Cheap at $160
whats your thoughts on SFM current performance? I wanted to get it but it looks like it’s been in decline after being hot for a while. I’ve been to a store when I last visited Colorado and was impressed.
SFM new ATH 🥳 
STX, SFM, NFLX, GLD, BTC, PLTR But only 1-2k invested in each, the rest is VT and sgov, so I’m up only 6-7% ytd Do you think Spotify will continue to grow? I’m interested in starting a position soon
Can't post youtube links, but we study billionaires is a great channel. They had an interview up over the weekend with James and Abby Zimmerman of Lowell Capital. It's interesting, since they have a somewhat similar approach to investing as me and they even named some companies that some of own, like CLS, SFM, and LYST. I think it's a solid watch/listen.
What's your goals and what's the rest of your portfolio look like? Individual stocks are a good way to diversify away from the top holdings of your index funds. A year ago, I was thinking of harvesting my AAPL and planting some grocer stocks. I was specifically looking at Kroger (KR) and Sprouts (SFM). KR is up 30% since and SFM has doubled.
I was specifically looking at both Kroger (KR) and Sprouts Farmer's Market (SFM) exactly one year ago. I wanted to diversify away from tech in event of a recession. Grocers are classic recession stocks because people still need to eat. Since then, KR is up over 30% and SFM has doubled. Also, I bought MSFT in fall 2008 when it was $20/share. I did not hold on to it.
Dang, SFM🌱🛒 got clapt yesterday Lost a nice chunk of unrealized gains, GUH 🤕
Invest in SFM🌱🛒 then, dummy
RYCEY and SFM good luck I am there with you but also JEPQ for income
none of this makes any sense. >Then I bought CME CHF futures Jun 16 2025 to lock in the exchange rates so as to hedge the currency risks. do you mean to say you bough SFM5 futures ? (i think so) when did you buy them ? USDCHF fx is a bet on relative interest rate differentials. if the expected IR differential changes, then the fx rate will change. famously the idiot in charge launched a global trade war, which saw investors flee the dollar in droves, causing dxy weakness. you can see USDCHF went from 0.88 or so before american's were "liberated (from our wealth/future/reputation)" to now 0.8233. do you think fx rates are static? they also take into account relative purchasing power (PPP) and expected trade flows.
No, I don't think so, but I can see how it looks that way. u/flybyskyhi made the point that he wasn't confident that his macroeconomic guesses would translate into positive equity prices. I'm a trend-follower, so I made the (unstated) leap based on his comment that all you need to know is manifested in the equity price. I trade GLD, so I know it's going up. I trade Walmart, so in Yahoo Finance I looked at the "Compare to WMT" section on the WMT page and found Costco was doing well. I trade Kroger, and found ACI, SFM, & GO the same way. I trade HSBC, and found BofA, BCS, & RY the same way. But I didn't start with a thesis that retailers or grocers or banks "should" do well; I'd found a trending stock on 3 separate occasions, and then in hindsight saw that maybe those sectors are doing well. But notice that I'm not saying to buy ALL the grocers, or ALL the banks, but if one in a category is doing well, maybe look at the others also. I have a bunch of watchlists set up in Barchart, and I'd found each of my original picks by sorting them and then scrolling through charts until I found one that looked good. No macroeconomic forecasts required. Cheers!
Looking forward to some earnings after close: AEIS, CLMB, FTAI, GFL, KLAC, META, MSFT, MYRG, PTC, SFM Also strong numbers from $TT this morning * Q1 Non-GAAP EPS of $2.45 beats by $0.25. * Revenue of $4.69B (+11.7% Y/Y) beats by $230M. * Strong enterprise bookings of $5.3 billion with a book-to-bill of 113 percent. * Enterprise backlog of $7.3 billion, up approximately $500 million
Came here to say something similar, so I'll tack it on here. There's always something going up. Go long that. Gold is going up. Walmart is going up. Costco too. Kroger, ACI, SFM, GO. Bank of America, HSBC, BCS, RY. Find and focus on those.
SFM is close. 
Look at the top 10 holdings SFM up 2.7% INSM up 1.5% FTAI up 4.24% You get the idea
I know that mf's holding puts. It was his bread and butter at SFM
Not until SFM hits $175 
I feel a bit nervous about the tariff issue, but I'm willing to give it time, as it's obvious he's not just implementing tariffs simply for the sake of having them. He wants to bring people to the table. It's not something I can control anyway. Whether or not it works out remains to be seen. I've been pleased with his and his cabinet's overall performance to this point, and there are many more issues I expect him to tackle going forward. I've only recently started using within the last 2-3 months, so I don't have a massive portfolio. I've put most of my funds into various rare Earth mineral companies, Nvidia and SFM.
I’m watching RH real close for the next few weeks. DCA in WSM, MSFT and SFM. I’m holding cash for most tech for now.
An analogy is the mass sell offs over the last 2 days is like when people hoarded toilet paper during the pandemic. It’s an avalanche of fear based behavior across the country that shouldn’t happen. Those who stay calm, don’t sell, and buy good stocks at lower prices will benefit. I bought additional shares of BRK-B and SFM last week which should work in my favor sometime in the future.
My SFM is recovering well 
Yeah but how about SFM back to 170 
Yolo on next expiry SFM at the money calls

I'll admit I was deep in margin on UFPT , USL , MOD , STRL , POWL , AXOM . If I where still holding I would be down alot I can see how the ripple through the market causes a cascading effect . SFM , WING , CAVA if I didn't get out when I did I would be in bankrupt .
When will SFM recover 
SFM 🌱 for infinite low volume gainz
SFM: sell the news, nothing new. Not worried here.
Can't believe I've spent all day since market closed on my computer working on taxes and finding stocks to buy the dip on. But couldn't help myself after such a red day. The best picks I've found is NVO by far and SFM looks nice as well. NVO I don't have much concern about but curious what people think of SFM. Beat earnings, beat revenue, beat quarterly and annual revenue and earnings guidance, stock tanked.

Managed to take 220% gains on my SFM puts today instead of the usual 100% I tend to paperhand at. that gave me the chill to hold my LYV puts until the underlying began to behave towards the end of the day, will probably sell on Monday. Then I managed to snatch 5 HIMS puts at the 30 strike for next week and 2 other HIMS puts at the 40 strike for mar 21.
With SFM down I wonder if this is a buying opportunity...long calls perhaps?
WTF happened to SFM. Beat all estimates. Down 20%+
What the hell just happened to Sprouts SFM? -20%?? "Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. SFM delivered impressive fourth-quarter 2024 results, with both top and bottom-lines increasing year over year. The metrics also beat their respective Zacks Consensus Estimate." Tanks 20%.

Buy SFM 🌱 for low volume 1% gains every single day in a straight line all year
SFM beat earnings and revenue projections, raised FY guidance, significantly beyond projections, projected far more new store openings than what Wall Street had. Stock dips. Im up over 100% on the original buy and up on a second buy too. Not sweating it but not understanding it either.
I but the SFM puts because the ticker reminded me of San Francisco! Immediately puts!
I got puts! I got LYV puts and SFM puts! You probably don’t because of skill issues!
Mentioning SFM🌱🛒 here got sum regards to baghold Success 
I’m bag holding GOOG, TGT, & SFM Please roast me 
Ok so I got 5 LYV puts at $130 and 2 SFM puts at $145. So far they are they are going my way after hours! I really wish I can exit this trade with juicy tendies and not paperhand it at 100% gains like a twatula!
WMT kinda fucked my position for Sprouts (SFM) but still riding these monthly calls.
LYV, SFM 
Last chance to pick up SFM sub 200
SFM🌱🛒 should get treated like CAVA🥙 after this WMT😃 ER

Lel, customers are literally getting gouged 🤑 > On Wednesday, UBS analyst Mark Carden increased the price target for Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:SFM) to $195.00, up significantly from the previous target of $132.00. Despite the adjustment in price target, the firm maintained a Neutral rating on the stock. According to InvestingPro data, the stock is currently trading near its 52-week high of $178.99, with an impressive 224.5% return over the past year. > The revision in price target comes as Sprouts Farmers Market is expected to round off a robust year with its quickest same-store sales (SSS) growth since the first quarter of 2014. The company’s emphasis on natural and organic products has continued to appeal to consumers who are less affected by economic headwinds. **This strategy has contributed to a solid 10.52% revenue growth in the last twelve months, with the company maintaining a healthy gross profit margin of 38%.** > In line with the optimistic outlook, UBS has also revised upward its earnings per share (EPS) estimates for the coming years. The estimates for calendar year 2024 have been increased to $3.73 from $3.69, for 2025 to $4.44 from $4.26, and for 2026 to $4.95 from $4.82. InvestingPro analysis reveals that 4 analysts have revised their earnings upward for the upcoming period, though the current P/E ratio of 49.24 suggests the stock may be trading at premium valuations. > The new price target of $195 is based on approximately 39 times the firm’s calendar year 2026 EPS estimate, which is a jump from the previous valuation of around 27 times the earlier projected EPS for the same year. This adjustment reflects a more bullish stance on the future earnings potential of Sprouts Farmers Market.
