RBC maintains Buy rating for Sprouts Farmers Market stock
Published on 10/02/2026 at 15:45 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSSprouts Farmers Market (US85208M1027) was trading at EUR 58.30 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 3:35 p.m. CEST, up 1.66 percent versus the EUR 57.35 prior close. According to Markets Insider on September 30, 2026, RBC Capital analyst Steven Shemesh maintained a Buy rating and a USD 114.00 price target in a report released September 29, 2026.
Second-quarter sales reached USD 2.33 billion
Sprouts Farmers Market's second-quarter revenue was USD 2.33 billion, compared with USD 2.22 billion in the same period a year earlier. The increase of 4.70 percent came alongside net profit of USD 129.2 million, down from USD 133.7 million a year earlier, according to Sprouts Farmers Market in its second-quarter 2026 investor-relations update.
The company reported diluted earnings per share of USD 1.37 for the second quarter, while the investor-relations page also recorded same-store sales down 1.00 percent. That combination gives the latest report a clear split: new stores supported sales growth, while comparable-store demand remained pressured.
Analyst targets remain above the market
RBC Capital's USD 114.00 target is the latest named analyst view in the available coverage. MarketBeat listed seven Buy ratings, six Hold ratings and one Sell rating among 14 analysts, with a consensus target of USD 92.25.
The contrast between the targets and the operating figures matters for the stock narrative. Sprouts generated USD 2.33 billion in second-quarter revenue and USD 1.37 in diluted earnings per share, but same-store sales fell 1.00 percent, leaving store expansion as an important growth lever.
