Jim Cramer Says “Something’s Wrong With Sprouts”

Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFM) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer was recently focused on. A caller asked what Cramer thinks of the stock, and he replied:

“Something’s wrong with Sprouts. Stock keeps going down. I don’t get it. I’ll tell you what we bought today for the Charitable Trust, though. We bought Costco. We waited and waited, waited. 1078 goes down to 900. That’s the one you want to pull the trigger on.”

Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFM) operates as a retailer of fresh, natural, and organic foods, providing produce, meat, seafood, bakery, dairy, and deli items. The company also provides grocery staples, frozen foods, supplements, beverages, and health products. FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund stated the following regarding Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFM) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFM) is a supermarket chain focusing on fresh, natural and organic products. The company has strong operating margins,13 attractive returns on capital and great new store economics. Sprouts accelerated its unit growth from 12 stores a year to 33 stores in 2024 on a base of roughly 400 stores. Over the past year, SFM’s stock has performed extremely well after reporting consistently strong operating results. We have been trimming our position since the third quarter of 2024 and Sprouts now sits outside of our top 10 by weight. Although SFM’s share price has increased faster than bottom line results, we believe SFM still trades in the “range of reasonableness” for a high-quality, non-cyclical franchise that can reinvest capital at attractive rates of return.”
