Tuesday, May 21, 8:40 AM A trend to watch: The grocery market in the U.K. is becoming increasingly polarized as both high-end specialty grocers and discounters pick up market share while national grocery store chains suffer. Is the same pattern unfolding in the U.S.? The Q1 read is that Wal-Mart (WMT) continues to gobble up grocery market share at the expense of Kroger (KR), Supervalu (SVU) and Safeway (SWY) while natural/organic chains (WFM, TFM, NGVC) remain a growth story. Comment! [Consumer]
Monday, May 20, 4:17 PM The Fresh Market (TFM) names Jeffrey Ackerman, most recently the CFO of mattress maker Sealy, its new CFO, effective June 3. Former CFO Lisa Klinger resigned last November to become the CFO of private apparel firm Kellwood. COO Sean Crane has been serving as interim CFO since then. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, Breaking News]
Friday, May 17, 7:04 AM The House Agriculture Committee heard some spirited debate this week on if it should be easier for organic food companies to organize industry-wide promotional campaigns, a concept which didn't sit well with many farm-state Republicans. It's been a slow process, but more Republicans have been backing amendments and bills that support the organic food industry. Organic-minded: TFM, HAIN, NGVC, HAIN, BNNY, WFM, UNI, STKL, BDBD. 3 Comments [Consumer]
Wednesday, May 8, 9:17 AM The robust quarter (I, II) put in by Whole Foods Market could help lift companies in the business of selling natural/organic food. On watch: TFM, HAIN, NGVC, HAIN, BNNY. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Friday, April 26, 8:59 AM Online grocery sales increased 8% last year as the industry gains acceptance in metropolitan areas and is pegged to see sales grow to as much as $9.4B by 2017. The trend is far from favorable for brick-and-mortar grocery stores (KR, SVU, SWY) still reeling from increased competition from dollar stores and Wal-Mart. What to watch: As delivery services such as Peapod and Fresh Direct expand, will Whole Foods Market (WFM) stand pat? Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, April 25, 12:59 PM Grocery store stocks suffer after Safeway's Q1 report indicates a weakening sales and volume trend into the end of the quarter. The lackluster quarter adds weight to the opinion that the dollar store group (DG, DLTR, FDO) and Wal-Mart are taking more grocery market share. Decliners: SWY -16.8%, WFM -1.0%, TFM -1%, SVY -2.5%, NGVC -2.0%, KR -2.0%, WMK -1.3%, HTSI -1.4%, FWM -1.3%. 7 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
Wednesday, March 20, 9:24 AM Raymond James initiates coverage on The Fresh Market (TFM) with a Strong Buy recommendation. The firm sets a $50 price target on shares. Comment! [Consumer]
Friday, March 15, 10:22 AM A trend to watch: The sale of organic food at supermarkets in the U.K. rose 8.4% during a February tracking period as the impact of the horsemeat scandal in Europe directly altered consumer choices. Sales of frozen hamburgers plunged, while sales of frozen ready meals slipped at a double-digit rate. The issue hasn't crossed over the pond to create a ripple in the U.S., but food industry insiders think a long-term trend toward a higher percentage of organic grocery purchases is in play. Whole Foods Market (WFM -1.3%) and The Fresh Market (TFM -0.5%) wouldn't mind. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
Tuesday, March 12, 2:30 PM Grocery store operator Fairway Group expects to launch its IPO next month, according to sources. Though the value of the deal is expected to be on the small side, it will be of keen interest to the supermarket group (SWY, SVU, KR, TFM, HTSI, IMKTA) with assessing valuation levels increasingly on the radar of investors. 2 Comments [Consumer]
Thursday, March 7, 7:33 AM Morgan Stanley thinks the dip in The Fresh Market (TFM) is a buying opportunity as it bumps up its price target on shares to $66 - repping 73% upside potential. The call from the investment firm flies in the face of the company's guidance for a moderated pace of growth and the tough spot both it and Whole Foods Market (WFM) find itself in with prices too high to easily draw in new shoppers. Comment! [Consumer]

Wednesday, March 6, 7:01 AM More on The Fresh Market's (TFM) Q4: Comparable store sales rose 1.9% during the period to $314.7M. A 30 bp improvement in gross margin rate to 34% is attributed to a number of factors including a leverage in occupancy costs. The company added two new stores during the quarter to take its total store count to 129. For 2013, TFM expects to open 19 to 22 new stores. The outlook for 2013 also includes comparable store sales growth of 2% to 4% and EPS of $1.51 to $1.58. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, Earnings]
Wednesday, March 6, 6:55 AM The Fresh Market (TFM): Q4 EPS of $0.43 misses by $0.01. Revenue of $369.9M misses by $10M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
