FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund Steve Scruggs | “Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM) is a supermarket chain focusing on fresh, natural, and organic products. The company has strong operating margins, attractive returns on capital, and excellent new store economics. Through April 2025, SFM's stock performed extremely well in concert with strong revenue growth and rising earnings estimates. As SFM's valuation increased, we trimmed our position in late 2024 and early 2025. Then, when growth slowed in the second half of 2025, SFM's share price collapsed. Today, SFM trades at a low-teens multiple of forward earnings and we are comfortable holding a mid-sized position.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Aug 12, 2026 | View Pitch |

FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund Steve Scruggs | “Sprouts Farmers Market is a high-quality natural grocer with superior gross margins, attractive return on capital, and accelerating unit expansion plans. Strong financial execution and guidance have driven share price appreciation, but the valuation remains acceptable given its non-cyclical compounding capabilities.” | BULL | Q2 2024 Jun 30, 2024 | View Pitch |
