What Happened?
On October 29, 2025, Sprouts announced third-quarter 2025 results, including softer-than-expected comparable-store sales growth of 5.9%, falling below the Company’s own prior guidance. The Company also slashed guidance for comparable store growth for the full year, now expecting only flat to 2% growth. The Company attributed its results to previously undisclosed “challenging year-on-year comparisons” and “signs of a softening consumer.”
On this news, Sprouts’ stock price fell $27.30 per share, or 26.1%, to close at $77.25 per share on October 30, 2025, thereby injuring investors.
What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Sprouts’ customer base was not "more resilient" to the macroeconomic environment and the Company was not positioned to "cope and deal with the changes" caused by economic uncertainty; (2) the "trade-down" dynamics—shifting consumer spending from food away from home to food at home—were either insufficient to offset a slowdown in sales or would fail to materialize as a meaningful "tailwind" for the Company; (3) the Company’s increased comparable sales guidance and reported two-year stack figures did not accurately reflect a sustainable growth trajectory, as Sprouts was actually facing a significant slowdown in sales growth due to a more cautious consumer; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
