Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ: WFM) from Buy to Neutral, and lowered the price target from $66.00 to $57.00.In the report, Goldman Sachs noted, “We are downgrading WFM to Neutral from Buy following F4Q results. While we still view WFM as a secular winner with continued opportunity for store growth and margin expansion, we are lowering our comp estimate to reflect the softer top-line trajectory relative to broader industry trends.

Since adding WFM to the Buy List on 11/20/12, the shares are +23% vs. the S&P 500 +26%. Shares traded down 11% November 7 following 4Q results.”Whole Foods Market closed on Thursday at $57.26.
