Over the past month, the stock decreased by 20.63%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 113.15%.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741364128_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Sprouts Farmers Market P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 39.08 in the Consumer Staples Distribution &amp; Retail industry, Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 36.83. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741364128_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Amid an especially volatile <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44176918/trump-delays-mexico-tariffs-for-a-month-economic-uncertainty-persits">start to 2025</a>, small-cap stocks have struggled. Are they now a buy at depressed valuations?
Russell 2000: The Russell 2000, as reflected by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), has dropped nearly 15% since December 2024. This constitutes a market correction.
The Trump Administration has embraced domestic and foreign policies that Former Treasury Secretary&nbsp;Larry Summers&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43649860/larry-summers-and-peter-schiff-warn-of-rising-inflation-risks-as-markets-slash-fed-rate-cut-expectations-most-sensitive-moment">labels as inflationary</a>. Higher prices could lead to higher interest rates, which disproportionately affect smaller companies with floating-rate debt.
The Russell index <a href="https://research.ftserussell.com/Analytics/FactSheets/Home/DownloadSingleIssue?issueName=US2000USD&amp;isManual=True">contains</a> 2,000 companies with an average market cap of around $1 billion. Higher-weighted components are likely to have outperformed the rest of the index and are not necessarily representative of the entire Russell 2000. Still, they provide a glimpse into how investors are valuing small-cap companies.
Here&#8217;s how the top stocks in the IWM have performed since the ETF&#8217;s correction began in December 2024:

Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending Feb. 28:
Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFM#NASDAQ">SFM</a>): The specialty grocery retailer returns to the Stock market Index after appearances in November 2024 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43066466/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">and January 2025</a>. The company recently <a href="https://investors.sprouts.com/news/news-details/2025/Sprouts-Farmers-Market-Inc.-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2024-Results/default.aspx">reported </a>quarterly financial results with earnings per share and revenue each beating Street consensus estimates. The company has beaten both earnings per share and revenue estimates in four straight quarters. Sprouts is guiding for net sales growth of 10.5% to 12.5% in 2025 with comparable store sales growth of 10% to 11% for the full year. Several analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SFM/analyst-ratings">raised their price targets</a> on the stock after the earnings report. The retailer continues to draw strong interest from investors and unit expansion and net sales growth could continue to boost shares, which are up over 130% in the last year.

IonQ Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>): The quantum computing company saw strong interest from readers during the week on the heels <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/02/43993251/ionq-q4-eps-miss-500-million-offering-ceo-appointment-acquires-stake-in-id-quantique-details">of quarterly earnings</a> and a CEO change announcement. The company missed analyst estimates for earnings per share while beating revenue estimates in the quarter. The company has beaten revenue estimates in more than 10 straight quarters.
"We had IonQ's best year yet in 2024, exceeding the high ends of both our bookings and revenue guidance ranges and making truly significant technical strides," IonQ executive chair Peter Chapman said.
Along with quarterly financial results, the company announced an at-the-market equity offering of up to $500 million. The company also announced two agreements with SK Telecom and ID Quantique.
Perhaps the biggest news was the announcement that Chapman will transition from the CEO role to executive chairman with Board of Directors member Niccolo de Masi, who helped take IonQ <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/21/03/20054892/first-pure-play-quantum-computing-company-comes-public-what-investors-should-know-about-ionq">public via SPAC merger</a>, becoming the company's new president and CEO.
Shares fell on the week, but remain up over 120%. Investors will likely be closely following the next growth story with new leadership as quantum computing remains a hot investment theme.

Keurig Dr Pepper Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KDP#NASDAQ">KDP</a>): The beverage company saw strong interest from readers after reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43940008/keurig-dr-pepper-q4-earnings-beat-estimates-stock-gains">quarterly financial results</a>. The company's earnings per share beat Street consensus estimates, continuing a trend that includes six beats and four in-line numbers for earnings per share in the last 10 quarters. The company's revenue beat analyst estimates and has now topped analyst estimates in seven of the last 10 quarters. Among the highlights in the report was a 10.3% year-over-year increase for the company's US Refreshment Beverages segment. The beverage company cited strong brand awareness <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43966231/keurig-dr-peppers-dirty-soda-success-social-media-fuels-eighth-consecutive-year-of-market-share-growth">on social media </a>and Dr. Pepper hitting market share growth for an eighth consecutive year.
The company also announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/44010283/why-keurig-dr-pepper-kdp-shares-are-falling">secondary public offering</a> of 73 million shares through a subsidiary of JAB Holding Company. After the offering, JAB will hold around 10.7% of KDP's outstanding stock. The sale could dilute shares and also signal that JAB believes shares are fairly valued or overvalued.
Several analysts<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KDP/analyst-ratings"> raised their price targets</a> on the beverage stock after the earnings report.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent022825&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1001" height="507" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/28122145/Screenshot-341.png" alt="" class="wp-image-804184" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/28122145/Screenshot-341.png 1001w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/28122145/Screenshot-341-300x152.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/28122145/Screenshot-341-768x389.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></a></figure>
Sun Communities (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SUI#NYSE">SUI</a>): The residential REIT saw strong interest from readers during the week, which comes after the company announced an<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/02/43917549/sun-communities-reaps-5-65-billion-from-safe-harbor-sale-refines-strategy"> agreement to sell </a>its interest in Safe Harbor Marinas to an affiliate of Blackstone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>). The deal will bring in proceeds of $5.5 billion after costs for Sun Communities, which the company plans to use towards debt reduction, investments in core businesses and for shareholder distributions.
An owner of manufactured homes, RV parks and marina properties, the transaction will see manufactured homes and RVs represent around 90% of the company's net operating income.
"This transaction allows Sun to focus on our core businesses which operate at high margins and produce durable income streams," Sun's Capital Allocation Committee Chair Jeff Blau said.
After the announced transaction, the company <a href="https://suncommunities.gcs-web.com/news-releases/news-release-details/sun-communities-reports-2024-fourth-quarter-and-full-year">reported </a>fourth-quarter financial results with FFO missing analyst estimates for a third straight quarter and revenue beating estimates. The company has beaten analyst revenue estimates in eight of the last 10 quarters.

Liberty Formula One (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FWONA#NASDAQ">FWONA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FWONK#NASDAQ">FWONK</a>): The owner of the Formula 1 racing league saw strong interest from investors during the week. The company has several upcoming catalysts including the <a href="https://x.com/netflix/status/1895504704488030389">launch </a>of the seventh season of "F1: Drive to Survive" on Netflix on March 7 and the start of the new 2025 season on March 14. The racing league is also drawing interest from Netflix for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43816739/netflix-wants-more-nfl-games-after-christmas-day-success-could-league-create-bidding-war-with-cbs-fox">potential media rights</a> in the U.S. when a current deal with ESPN expires. A new American Formula 1 team will be part of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42178255/formula-1-stock-hits-52-week-high-announces-11th-team-with-general-motorsandretti-global-after-max-verstappens-fourth-straight-title">the 2026 season </a>and could increase awareness for the global sports brand in the coming years. The Netflix docuseries and American race locations have helped increase viewership and awareness in the United States, a trend the league hopes will continue.
