Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Pursues Legal Action Regarding Sprouts Farmers Market Investors
Investigation of Claims Against Sprouts Farmers Market
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent national securities law firm, has initiated an investigation into potential legal claims on behalf of investors who have sustained losses concerning Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc.. This probe is particularly pertinent for those who acquired securities within the timeline of June 4, 2025, to October 29, 2025. The law firm, known for its successful recovery of hundreds of millions for investors since launching in 1995, emphasizes the importance of acting promptly as there is a looming deadline of January 26, 2026, for individuals wishing to assume the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action filed against the Company.
Allegations of Misleading Statements
The essence of the claims arises from allegations that Sprouts and its executives may have transgressed federal securities laws by providing inaccurate or misleading statements regarding the company’s growth potential. It has been reported that while the Company issued overwhelmingly favorable statements to investors, it simultaneously withheld critical information regarding its true market position. Specifically, concerns were raised on how economic conditions might lead to a substantial decline in sales growth. This information was crucial as reports suggested a potential deceleration in growth amidst changing consumer behavior.
On October 29, 2025, Sprouts disclosed its third-quarter results for fiscal 2025, revealing a 4.3% decrease in comparable store growth compared to the previous quarter, significantly underperforming against expectations. Management’s forecasts regarding sales growth were also significantly lowered, with estimates dropping from an earlier projected range of 7.5% to 9% down to just 7%. Additionally, they projected continued decline into the fourth quarter, with a minimal growth range of just 0%-2%. Despite this change in outlook, prior announcements had suggested that the company would remain resilient regardless of broader economic factors, contributing to doubts about the transparency of the prior statements made by the Company.
Following this shocking disclosure, there was a significant impact on Sprouts’ stock price, which fell dramatically by $22.64 per share from its opening price of $81.91 per share. This price drop emphasizes the potential risk and financial impact on investors who acted on the previously disseminated information without the benefit of the facts regarding the struggles facing the Company.
What Affected Investors Can Do
Faruqi & Faruqi is encouraging investors affected by this situation to reach out directly to Josh Wilson, a partner at the firm, to discuss their rights and options moving forward. Investors are reminded that participation in the class action can be accomplished even if they choose not to serve as lead plaintiff.

Furthermore, any individual who possesses relevant information about Sprouts’ actions is urged to contact Faruqi & Faruqi. This includes whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders, or others who may have insights into the company’s operations and performance related to the allegations.
In conclusion, this investigation underlines the critical nature of transparency and accuracy in corporate communications, especially in fluctuating market conditions.
