Why Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. Stock Fell 17.2% in August
Shares of Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. (NASDAQ: SFM) declined 17.2% in the month of August, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence, after Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) completed its acquisition of Whole Foods Market.
Of course, Sprouts investors had known of the impending deal since June, when Amazon initially revealed its plans to buy Whole Foods for $13.7 billion. But the threat effectively escalated on Aug. 28, when Amazon closed on its purchase and wasted no time implementing drastic price reductions on dozens of Whole Foods' most popular products.
