Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. (SFM) has a Lemma Quality Score of 7.2 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which reads as high quality. A high reading means most of the pillars are strong, with no serious weakness pulling the average down. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.
Ranked with the 71 Consumer Staples companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 94th percentile, among the top tenth of the group. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.8 and a company needs 6.8 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. above the median.
Sprouts Farmers Market Inc.’s profitability score is 7.4 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 4.7 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is well above the group and the 77th percentile. Returns and margins at this level leave room to reinvest, absorb a bad year or return cash to shareholders without straining the business.
Sprouts Farmers Market Inc.’s solvency score is 8.2 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 6.9 among 65 Consumer Staples companies, that is above the group and the 80th percentile. Strong solvency points to a balance sheet that can carry its debts comfortably, with interest well covered and little pressure from creditors.
Sprouts Farmers Market Inc.’s growth score is 6.5 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 4.0 among 67 Consumer Staples companies, that is well above the group and the 73rd percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
Sprouts Farmers Market Inc.’s efficiency score is 7.4 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 6.7 among 68 Consumer Staples companies, that is above the group and the 70th percentile. High efficiency means assets and earnings are being turned into cash and output better than at most peers, a sign of a well run operation.
Sprouts Farmers Market Inc.’s predictability score is 6.4 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.1 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is in line with the group and the 60th percentile. Middling predictability suggests some volatility in the record, enough to read the other pillars with a little caution.
The profile is uneven. Solvency leads at 8.2 while predictability trails at 6.4, a gap of 1.8 points, so the overall averages a clear strength against a clear soft spot. A solvency lead means the balance sheet is the company’s strongest asset, a cushion that buys time when trading gets harder. A predictability shortfall means the record is volatile, so the averages behind the other pillars move more than they appear to.
Every scored pillar is at or above the median of Consumer Staples companies, so there is no catch-up left to lift the overall. The risk runs the other way: a one point fall in profitability, the heaviest of them, would take the score from 7.2 to about 7.0. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.
