Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What is the expected same-store sales growth for this quarter?

Same-store sales growth will indicate how well Sprouts is retaining customers and attracting new ones in a competitive market.

How is the company managing supply chain challenges?

Effective supply chain management is crucial for maintaining product availability and cost efficiency, especially in the current economic climate.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may underestimate Sprouts' ability to leverage its unique product offerings and customer loyalty, which could lead to stronger-than-expected same-store sales growth.

Supporting Evidence

Sprouts has consistently beaten EPS estimates, indicating strong operational performance.

The options market is pricing in a larger move than historical averages, suggesting heightened expectations.

Recent trends in health and wellness are driving consumer interest in Sprouts' product categories.

Key Risk

If same-store sales growth exceeds 5%, it could challenge the current cautious outlook.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

Bull Confirmed If

A same-store sales growth of 5% or higher would confirm the bull case.

Bear Confirmed If

A decline in same-store sales or negative commentary on supply chain issues would confirm the bear case.
