Sell NowHigh

SFM is in a pronounced downtrend, having broken key short-term support at the 9EMA zone with bearish alignment across all major moving averages.

Transcript signals

Bull points

  • we're excited to kind of see those key markers play out and maybe answer that question a little bit more directly when we get to kind of February and 2026 guidance and beyond.
  • In the second quarter, total sales were 2.2 billion, up 327 million, or 17%, compared to the same period last year. This growth was driven by a 10.2% increase in comparable store sales and the strong results from our new stores.
  • Our second quarter gross margin was 38.8%, an increase of 91 basis points compared to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to leveraging our inventory and category management improvements, as well as leverage from our sales performance.
