1) The analysts believe fears related to Sprouts Farmers Market’scompetitiveness as the market becomes more disputed are “extremely overblown”
2) Although Kroger Co (NYSE: KR) is getting more aggressive on produce pricing, the experts still see plenty of share left for both of them to take from weaker competitors in the arena
3) The second-quarter comp miss was mainly driven by deflation. However, a deflation in produce of roughly 10 percent is not normal. Thus, the analysts are “confident the comp will regain momentum once deflation subsides given the strong traffic trends”
4) Footsteps don’t lie: the company’s 2-year stacked traffic of +7.6 percent in the second quarter remains a best-in-class
5) Short, Gilligan and Higgins think product deflation is already starting to subside
6) They also believe guidance “conservatively reflects an elevated competitive environment (and the typical 20%-25% gap in produce vs. conventionals) –more specifically, guidance reflects an ~8.0%-8.5% margin,” which they consider reasonable and/or sustainable
7) The firm’s fiscal 2016 EPS estimate was too conservative, the report assures. Consequently, they are boosting it from $0.91 to $0.96 (8.2 percent EBITDA margin)
8) Deutsche Bank considers there are substantial opportunities to add supplementary traffic-driving categories in the stores, and thinks “this is a priority for the reconfigured leadership team”
