Tuesday, June 4, 2:38 PM Amazon (AMZN -1%) roundup: 1) Amazon is set to expand its AmazonFresh grocery delivery business, in trial mode in Seattle for 5 years, to Los Angeles "as early as this week" and San Francisco later this year, Reuters reports. An industry consultant claims Amazon, long expected to expand its grocery ops to areas where sales tax is no longer a concern, is targeting up to 40 markets. Grocery chains (SWY, KR, SVU, WFM, TFM) can't be thrilled, particularly given Amazon's pricing history. 2) eMarketer estimates Amazon generated $610M in ad sales last year, and will produce $835M this year. A targeted ad network could fuel additional growth for the business, increasingly seen as a threat to Google (GOOG). 3 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
Wednesday, May 29, 3:08 PM What to like about natural/organic grocery stocks: A robust earnings report (I, II) from The Fresh Market (TFM +7.1%) after a few troubling quarters has analysts buzzing again - not only about the specialty retailer but also peers Whole Foods Market (WFM) and Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage (NGVC -0.4%). The sector doesn't face the e-commerce or fashion risk of other specialty retailers and secular trends remain favorable. With market penetration still relatively low, sales could stay strong as an improving economy helps the group take some market share from traditional grocery chains. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Wednesday, May 29, 12:45 PM Midday top 10 gainers: STEI +34%. SFD +25%. VRTB +22%. CLSN +19%. ARTX +19%. BWS +14%. CLNT +12%. PWRD +12%. AEGR +12%. TFM +10%.
Midday top 10 Losers: OWW -14%. MRC -13%. ALVR -12%. SOCB -11%. TSL -11%. PIP -11%. PRXI -12%. VIMC -11%. WHX -10%. TISA -9%. Comment! [On the Move]
Wednesday, May 29, 9:10 AM Premarket gainers: STEI +35%. SFD +25%. BLDP +8%. SONS +7%. TFM +6%.
Losers: TSL -13%. CSIQ -6%. CHS -6%. Comment! [On the Move]
Wednesday, May 29, 7:03 AM More on The Fresh Market (TFM): Comparable store sales rose 3.0% during Q1, boosted primarily by an increase in the average transaction size by customers. Gross margin improved 60 bps to 35.3% on merchandise margin gains. The company expects FY13 EPS of $1.51 to $1.58. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, Earnings]
Wednesday, May 29, 6:36 AM The Fresh Market (TFM): Q1 EPS of $0.46 beats by $0.02. Revenue of $366.6M (+12.9% Y/Y) misses by $3.09M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]

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]
