Sprouts Farmers Market Faces Investor Class Action as Firms Push Lead-Plaintiff Race Before Jan. 26 Deadline

Plaintiffs tie the suit to guidance cuts plus a steep post‑earnings share drop after what they allege were overly rosy statements.

Overview

A new notice from the Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz invites Sprouts investors with losses to seek lead‑plaintiff status before January 26, 2026.
Levi & Korsinsky says it filed the complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona on December 17 and has served Sprouts, CEO Jack L. Sinclair, and CFO Curtis Valentine.
Kessler Topaz and Faruqi & Faruqi report a filed class action and parallel investigations covering purchases from June 4 to October 29, 2025.
The pleadings cite Sprouts’ October 29 results showing a 4.3% drop in comparable‑store growth, trimmed full‑year comparable‑sales guidance to 7%, and a fourth‑quarter comp outlook of 0%–2%.
Notices say the disclosures preceded a $22.64 one‑day share decline to $81.49 and emphasize that the complaints are unproven at this early stage.
