"And that's going to lead us to cheap stock number two, which is going to be Sprouts Farmers Market, stock ticker SFM. Although this is a new stock to this channel, it is well known to our family and comes with a farmers market feel. Sprouts has a strong footprint with more than 450 stores in 24 states and a market cap of $10 billion. Shares have been volatile, down 4% over the past 12 months and 16% year-to-date, even though they spiked up by roughly 30% at times. Revenues are at a record $8.4 billion with margins at a record high of 7.6%, and the forward multiple based on full 2026 estimates is about 18.3 times, with a PEG of 1.27 and a 12-month price target of $175 per share. For a more conservative entry, a cash secured put at the $95 strike expiring November 21st could generate around $200 in premium."

The speaker identifies Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM) as an opportunity due to its strong operational metrics and attractive valuation relative to its growth forecasts. The commentary points out the volatility in price and recommends a conservative entry using a cash secured put to generate income while waiting for a better entry point.
