Sprouts Farmers Market is a U.S. specialty grocer with a focus on fresh, natural, and organic products. It offers a broad assortment of perishable and non-perishable food items.
The decision by Barlow Wealth Partners, a Kentucky-based wealth management firm, to sell its entire stake in Sprouts Farmers Market stock, worth approximately $16.7 million, could be an important sign for retail investors. Here’s what they need to know.
First off, Sprouts Farmers Market stock has endured a very tough stretch, with shares declining in value by about 41% over the last 12 months. That comes after an impressive multi-year run by Sprouts, where shares increased in value by more than 750% between 2021 and early 2025.
Yet, it seems Sprouts has lost its luster and possibly for good reason. Class-action lawsuits have been filed, alleging that Sprouts made misleading statements about its growth potential to the public and investors. While these allegations have not been fully adjudicated, there is no doubt they have seriously undermined Sprout’s stock and its performance. And, as often is the case in such situations, it is unclear when the company will be able to put its legal problems behind it.
Therefore, Barlow Wealth Partners’ decision to move on from Sprouts’ stock is likely — although not certainly — linked to these concerns. Similarly, many investors may also wish to steer clear of Sprouts pending resolution of these lawsuits.
