After Sprouts Farmers Market Inc (NASDAQ:SFM) shares dipped following the news of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)'s acquisition of Whole Foods Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:WFM), Oppenheimer analyst Rupesh Parikh believes the news has created a huge buying opportunity for the supermarket chain.
“We view the SFM sell-off today as an attractive entry point to get involved with a very high-quality retailer. On a fundamental basis, we believe the company remains well positioned on its own and there is also takeout potential down the road. As we have written in the past, we see a takeout value as high as ~$30,” said Parikh (see Parikh's track record).

Thus, Parikh upgraded the stock to Outperform with a $24 price target.
The 2 Different Scenarios
Parikh believes with Whole Foods no longer in the picture, two potential scenarios could play out:
- In the base case, the stock is worth $22 without a takeout.
- With an acquisition, the stock could be worth approximately $30 dollars.
The largest risk to these estimates is if Whole Foods massively cuts prices in order to gain a competitive advantage.
Sprouts shares were trading down over 5 percent, at $21.16, during Friday’s market session.
